Hello!

I have setup transactional replication (4 publications) between two SQL 2005 servers. Distributor is on the same server as Publisher. Distribution jobs are running once a day. I have noticed that space consumed in distribution database keeps growing. Even after I manually execute distrubitoon jobs space is not reclaimed. When I check 'Undistrubuted commands' in Replication monitor right after synchronization with Subscriber it shows me 0. I was wondering when and how space is being reclaimed in distribution database. My understanding is that once transactions are delivered to Subscriber, they should be removed from distribution database.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Igor

Are there any objects created on it? What is the retention period for it?
