Hi - I'm considering implementing log shipping to make some production data available for reporting through the secondary database. I understand I can ship log files from 2008R2 primary to 2014 secondary. I'll do a POC, but any advice/gotchas to be aware of in that scenario?Another noob question - I assume the schema for the secondary is mutable, right? I'm primarily interested in adding some objects to the secondary specific to reporting like views, indexes, procs, etc. Any problems with that (other than my objects being sandbagged/breaking due schema changes coming across from the primary)? Our data sits with a vendor and they do jigger the schema on the primary around from time to time I think, but (likely) not on the core tables I'm really interested in. Any thoughts/advice appreciated.
