Completely agree with the method that SQL Server handles replication/mirroring - it does work - but in order to perform a change to the form (read table) you must basically disable the replication, which removes the columns, add your fields, and then re-enable replication - which, since it's not enabled, transfer the entire table to the remote server. much less ties up SQL Server and your network for NN time...
