The most comprehensive title on replication... period.
1 Feb 2005
This is a great book, jam-packed with information that's either tough to find, or doesn't exist, in Microsoft's documentation. I liked that the author delved through the basics, and then showed the pros and cons of each approach (SPs, DMO, ActiveX). He also documented Microsoft's replication system procedures much better than they ever could, and explained some of the caveats that they conveniently leave out.
Probably not a book you would read straight through in a single evening, but if you are involved with replication, this is the one book I think you need to have by your side.

Filling An Important Gap In DBA References
10 Aug 2005
A book dedicated to all aspects of SQL Server replication is long overdue. I was excited to learn that one finally existed and asked several Microsoft Support Engineers who work with replication daily if they knew about it.
I received one particularly enthusiastic response and almost immediately afterward ordered Cotter's book. I have not been disappointed.
Many DBA reference books are designed to let you read just a few relevant paragraphs. That's possible here too, but you will also want to read entire chapters for the most solid foundation on replication.
I eagerly await the next book on merge replication.

Want to do replication? This is your book.
9 Feb 2005
This book is the only choice for a reference on replication -- and not just because it's literally the only book available, but also because Cotter has jammed it full of information. This book covers every aspect of transactional and snapshot replication, from basics all the way through to deep internals. Cotter leaves few, if any, issues uncovered.
For replication beginners -- like me -- this book is certainly not an easy read. Replication has a steep learning curve, with lots of new terminology to learn. And it's a huge topic -- this book can only be fairly described as a tome. However, Cotter's casual writing style helps the reader get comfortable with replication quickly and easily.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to successfully work with replication.
