ak writes "After setting up a continuous processing(transactional) replication, if we need to make any changes in the table structure, do we have to disable/drop the replication and have to redesign/reset again the replications once we finished the changes in the table?

In this case, wont it increase the workload of the DBA?
How can we overcome this?""

In SQL Server 2000, you can add and drop columns from replicated tables using sp_repladdcolumn and sp_repldropcolumn. Other schema changes require reconfiguration. In SQL Server 2005, we support common schema changes directly using ALTER TABLE, etc.
