I have an SQL Server 2005 (ServerA) hosting the application DB(DatabaseA) accessed by many customers who insert, update, delete , select data.
I need another database (DatabaseB) on another SQL Server 2005 (ServerB) for development purposes but i need also this db to be updated with the real data of DatabaseA.
I decided to implement log shipping between DatabaseA (primary) and DatabaseB (secondary).
When I change the schema of a table in DatabaseB (e.g. in table T1 I add a nullable column) then the log shipping doesnt work (ie if i insert a record in ServerA.DatabaseA.T1, there is no insertion into the ServerB.DatabaseB.T1)
Could you please tell me if there is any answer to this problem?
Should I choose another feature of SQL Server 2005 and not log shipping? If yes, which is the feature that meets my requirements?
Thanks
