HI,

My query is as follows :
I have a database which has to be replicated with another database. I have achieved this through sql replication and works fine.
I also have a folder structure with files(word , pdf , excel etc..) on the web server which are associated with particular rows in a particular table in the database. These files also have to be replicated with the same folder structure.
How do I initiate a file replication which is in sync with the data replication of sql.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

SQL Server does not support file replication.

It is possible to do if you write a custom app; it's just not supported natively by SQL Server. The app would need to know which rows have changed at the Subscriber since the last synch, and then copy the file associated with each changed row over the network (creating directories as necessary).

Not with SQL Server. File replication will need to be handled by some other product.
