Log Shipping for replication

I need to implement a dirt cheap replication method for some dirt
cheap servers. We are using the SQL Server workgroup license. Is
there anything in this that prevents using log shipping for
replication in Workgroup versus Enterprise?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by a "SQL Server workgroup license" - perhaps you
mean you're using MSSQL in a workgroup, rather than in a domain? In any
case, log shipping requires copying files from one server's filesystem to
another, so you would need to use service accounts which have those
permissions.

Apart from that, there are other options, including rolling your own
solution:

http://sqlguy.home.comcast.net/logship.htm
http://www.sql-server-performance.co...g_shipping.asp

MSSQL replication might also be a possibility, depending on what you're
trying to achieve, but it's not really viable to build any sort of "dirt
cheap" highly available system, if only because of operations costs, ie.
making sure there is always someone there to respond when you need them.

Hi all, It was my understanding (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this!) that BLOB data actually reside on their own separate pages and a BLOB field only holds a pointer to the location of the actual data, therefore the BLOB data per se would not get written to the log, only the pointer would be written. If log shipping works by applying the transaction log to the standby database, then what happens to the BLOB data?

Hi, I've been using an Access application I wrote for an office with the front-end stored on all computers and the back-end on one of them serving as an Access file server. Now we're moving to a 2nd office 15 minutes down the road. Only one office will be open at a time, so theoretically it'd be possible to copy the back-end manually every night from one office to another, but frankly, that's pretty annoying.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience in developing a shipping matrix. We are based in the UK, and we need to ship both locally and internationally. Local shipping is priced by weight and doesn't matter about the number of packages, international shipping is by weight and package size, so we need to know the number of packages.

I'm having issues setting up log shipping on a remote server. We have a very large production database that needs to be migrated offsite. The db is 9 GB backed up. It takes about 4 hours to copy the file to the remote server when it is archived. During the log shipping process the file takes a lot more time than that to arrive at the remote server. I decided to use log shipping for this migration, because we can't have our production box...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
