I need help with Transactional Replication

I am just beginning with transactional replication, and I have a publisher
with a primary key on the identity column (UID), some data, then an adddate
(varchar 8) column iwth ccyymmdd data in it. I want to replicate this table
to a server based on the adddate value (all records pushed since a given
adddate). My replication attempts seem to only want to work off of the
primary key column. How do I get it to work off of the adddate column, or do
I even really want to?
Thank you for any help in advance
The publisher (and subscriber) tables look like this:
create table temp (
uid bigint,
data_1 varchar(20),
adddate varchar(8)
)
Carl,
TR will only replicate the changes to this table since the last
synchronization. If new records have been added, they'll automatically be
picked up. With this in mind you can probably forget about filtering the
dddate column, unless I am misunderstanding you.

|||ok, perhaps I have a different problem, then. When I update the publisher by
inserting numerous new rows, I manually run the distributer and it claims
that there are no rows to replicate. How can I get the distributor to see the
new rows?

|||Carl,
are you using a filter on the publication?
Is the log reader agent running?

make a change to a row then run sp_browsereplcmds in the
distribution database to see if the rows are reaching
there.

I need help with SELECT statement

hello,
At the beginning I would like to describe my very simple table. It is
composed of three columns: 'name', 'forename', 'status'. This database
stores results of games. The values of column 'status' can be only: 1 for
win, 2 for lose,0 for draw. My aim is to get a table which consists also 3
columns, but these should be: 'name', 'forename', 'balance'. Of course
balance should display values: number of wins - number of loses for each
player. So the new table should be the agreggate of the same players which
their balance of games. Is there anyone who could create that statement? I
think that it is not very difficult for someone who knows the SQL. If it is
needed the DBMS which I use is MSSQL Server(MSDE). I can not speak and write
english very well so sorry for mistakes. Thanks and greetings for YOU.The design is wrong. You need to all the attributes (results) into a
single row for each entity (person)

CREATE TABLE Games
(first_name CHAR(20) NOT NULL,
last_name CHAR(20) NOT NULL,
win_cnt INTEGER NOT NULL,
lose_cnt INTEGER NOT NULL,
draw_cnt INTEGER NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (first_name, last_name));

Load the new table with this statement:

INSERT INTO Games
SELECT first_name, last_name,
SUM(CASE WHEN status = 1
THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS win,
SUM(CASE WHEN status = 2
THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS lose,
SUM(CASE WHEN status = 0
THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS draw
FROM Foobar
GROUP BY first_name, last_name;

Now your query is easy.
