We are considering upgrading to SQL 2008 from 2000. The biggest anticipated reason is improvements to replication. One thing that I've read but wanted to confirm with someone who actually knows for sure is that I can make changes to table schema in tables being replicated without having to take them out of replication and reinitialize everything... and that the changes will propagate to the subscribers. Is this actually true? Thank you.
