We have to set up replication between two SQL Server databases residing on two different servers connected to the same domain. Our concern is that if the publisher is down, or distribution database is down, will it by any way affect the availability of subscription database? Here I mean to say if server on which distribution resides goes off while it is updating the tables on subscriber will subscription database tables be accessible? Does distributor acquire a lock on subscriber for updating the rows? We are planning to set up transactional replication.
