I have a database that must be refreshed hourly from sql server 2014 enterprise to 2014 sql server standard. Server 1 is enterprise and server 2 is standard. Server 2's database will be read only. the database are about 200 gigs. I need all the tables replicated to the new read only server. The schema's change often. I was planning on using log shipping because the entire db needs replicating and the fact that schemas change often. Is my logic correct. Someone suggested snapshot replication but i though snapshot replication would have to be set up to drop and recreate the tables hourly and hence make them unavailable for a period of timeWhich would you suggest?
