    <p>You can use transactional replication to maintain a warm standby SQL server. Transactional replication replicates the data on one server (the publisher) to another server (the subscriber) with less latency than log shipping.</p> <p>You can implement transactional replication at the database object level such as the table level. Therefore, Microsoft recommends that you use transactional replication when you have less data to protect, and you must have a fast data recovery plan.</p> <p>This solution is vulnerable to the failure of the publisher and the subscriber at the same time. In such a scenario, you cannot protect your data. In all other scenarios such as the failure of a distributor or a subscriber, it is best to resynchronize the data in the subscriber with the data in the publisher.</p> <p>You should use transactional replication to maintain a warm standby SQL server only when you do not implement schema changes or you do not implement other changes to your database such as security changes that replication does not support.</p> <p>Note Replication is not designed for the maintenance of warm standby servers. With replication, you can use replicated data at the subscriber to generate reports. You can also use replication for other general uses without having to perform processing on your relatively busy publisher.</p> <p>Disadvantages</p> <ol> <li><p>Schema changes or security changes that are performed at the publisher after establishing replication will not be available at the subscriber. The distributor in transactional replication uses an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) connection or an OLE Database (OLEDB) connection to distribute data. However, log shipping uses the RESTORE TRANSACTION low-level Transact-SQL statement to distribute the transaction logs. A RESTORE TRANSACTION statement is much faster than an ODBC connection or an OLEDB connection.</p></li> <li><p>Typically, switching servers erases replication configurations. Therefore, you have to configure replication two times:<br> a. When you switch to the subscriber.<br> b. When you switch back to the publisher.</p></li> <li><p>If a disaster occurs, you must manually switch servers by redirecting all the applications to the subscriber.</p></li> </ol> <p>Read more here <a href="http://sqlserverdatarecovery.com/transactional_replication.html" rel="noreferrer">http://sqlserverdatarecovery.com/transactional_replication.html</a></p>

    1. COThanks, but my question is: when the main server fails, will the request be then automatically served to the replicated server? Is replication meant for that?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
