Question : SQL replication and indexing

I have transactional replication set up between a SQL 2000 (Publicsher) and SQL 2005 (Subscriber).  If I index the replica on the SQL 2005 server will it be overwritten by the next replication from the SQL 2000 server.

Answer : SQL replication and indexing

I don't think indexes are replicated everytime.  One idea would be to have a job running at the subscriber that checks to see if indexes exists, and if not, creates them.  For example:


if not exists(select * from sys.indexes where name = 'indexname' and object_name(object_id) = 'tablename')
create index indexname on tablename(fieldlist)

Just have one statement for every index that you need.  Should be set.
