Course Description

Review from similar course: 

"The trainer has a nice clear voice and the most important is that he does not rush through the subject, which is the problem with many instructors. By speaking slowly and displaying every step, it saves us time by not having to replay every section over and over, thanks for this." - Andres

Welcome to SQL Server Replication in the Real World.

In this course, you’ll learn how to correctly configure the three replication topologies specific to SQL Server.

Replication is a way of distributing data automatically from a source database to one or more destination databases.

In this course, we are going to cover three core topologies.

They are, Snapshot Replication, Transactional Replication and Merge Replication.

It has also been used to for high availability solution but that’s not recommend.

Replication is for continuous data transfer and is not used for simply copying data.

The two most common real world applications for replication are reporting and data warehousing.

I’ve also seen it used for off-loading nightly batch processing tasks.

Replication uses a Magazine Publishing vocabulary. Anything from an article to an entire database can be replicated.

In the course, we are going to cover all the nomenclature, architecture and real world tips and tricks you’ll need to keep replication functioning without issue.

Thanks for your interest in SQL Server Replication in the Real World.  We will see you in the course!!!

Clearly and concisely presented. A little more debugging, as in determining what job went wrong, why it went wrong, and how to fix it would be a nice addition to the course. Still, the content was good and that content was excellently presented.

By Mike Werts on 11/6/2024

It was a good match but hands on exercises and discussing troubleshooting metrics would be helpful

By Don Tyrone on 9/8/2024

Great job! Would like to have spent a little more time with setting up the different types of replications. Everything was explained very well.

I didn't get the impression that the author has a deep understanding of these topics. These are more like basics that you can easily learn on your own without buying this course. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it unless someone is an absolute beginner

By Tolga KAPTAN on 10/6/2022

The content is well summarised. Especially, video capturing scale and emphasizing via focusing and red arrows and circles is good. It was rather. Speed and sound is good.

By Marwan Samara on 5/5/2022

Excellent Instructor. Hands on and very clear.

By Laura Vargas on 11/17/2021

There was one module where the lecture was giving a different information than what it was being written on the whiteboard, so it was hard to read and listen to different things. The selection of some optios with the mouse is being done too fast, without giving the change to read what it was selected.

I attended the course to understand the vocabulary of Replication in SQL server. I am very happy that the course exactly delivered what i wanted to learn and i applied it in my real world scenario looking forward to take SQL mirroring with certificate having mirroring on public ips

By Sunil Bangalore Krishnappa on 7/24/2018

Have understood the types of replication and its creation and operational components, the course is short and sweet to glance over the concept it is very good. Would like few other issues those experienced after the set-up is complete .

By Justin Maher on 5/30/2018

I found this a nice thorough overview of replication
