I have transactional replication. What are the ways to find out the destination subscriber table is synchronized to the publisher article?
Basically, how do I know when transactional replication has been succeeded?

You can check Replication Monitor in SSMS. You can also compare the table contents; I typically do COUNT(*) on the publisher and subscriber to make sure the row counts match.

have a look at sp_publication_validation. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173543.aspx

often easiest to just modify a value and check that the subscribers got it, then change it back.

but if you have many publications then sp_publication_validation is a valuable tool
