Dear All,
i heard somewhere that if we need to alter an article, we need to generate the snapshot again something like that.

today i've configured transactional replication on my own system (distributor, publication, subscriber on same server).
when ever i'm changing smallint datatype of a table to bigint on publisher, it is immiediatly altering at subscriber also. i'm just running the alter table alter column syntax.

i'm using the transactional replication on sql server 2005 standard edition.
please let me know that is it enough even on different servers? or we need to generate the snapshot also?

In sql2k5, transactional replication will replicate schema changes by default.
