We need a reporting Database & the Production Database.
The reporting team is unsure of which tables in the database are used in the reporting tools and hence wants us to replicate the complete database to the reporting.
I would like to understand what will be the pros and cons of replicating the complete database?
What I think:
Pros: The reporting databases will serve as a disaster recovery option too.
Cons: More disk consumption on Reporting Server, higher resource utilization and more difficult maintenance.
Anything more?
