Replicate tables via Transfer Manager?
Hello:
I need to develop an off-line database that replicates/copies some key tables for reporting. The info is fairly static (codes. etc.)and does not need to be real-time.
Is it feasible that I can set up a scheduled task on SQL 6.5 using Transfer Manager to copy & append data to this off-line db on a schedule.
I may not be able to set-up replication on our production server.
So, I am considering alternatives. Appreciate any input. Thank you :)

If it was me, I would just restore the backup of the database somewhere on a schedule, or dump the specific tables and restore them if time is an issue.
Good luck.

Thank you for the suggestion. I also need to think about performing this task when we go to SQL 7.0. Our production server will be 6.5 for now, and the off-line will be 7.0. The table dump and restore feature is not available in 7.0. What is a viable alternative on 7.0. Can I use DTS?
