Replication(Preparation) in Sql Server 2000

[jdmarsh2g]

Morning Guys,
If one was preparing to Replicate a database and need to know how much more size would be needed to accomadate the distribution database and its transaction logs etc... what performance counters would you set to gather this information and or tools...?

How to go about finding the average tranaction size.... number of transactions per day.... via profiler.... perfmon....
any suggestions or good sites for replication would be greatly appreciated...
thanks,


thanks,

You can get number of transactions in perfmon, may need check your apps for transaction size. By the way, sql saves sql statements to apply on subscriber in distribution db. It doesn't take much space.
