Question

Say ServerA.TableA is replicated (via Transactional Replication) to ServerB.TableA. If a trigger existed on ServerB.TableA that fired when a row was inserted or updated, would the trigger fire as rows are replicated from ServerA.TableA?

Answer 1

It depends on how the trigger was created. CREATE/ALTER TRIGGER statements support the NOT FOR REPLICATION clause:

NOT FOR REPLICATION Indicates that
the trigger should not be executed
when a replication agent modifies the
table that is involved in the trigger. See Controlling Constraints, Identities, and Triggers with NOT FOR REPLICATION.
