| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SQLDMORepFreq_Continuous | 0 | Log monitoring or another method is used to determine replicated article content. |
| SQLDMORepFreq_Snapshot | 1 | Article is replicated at fixed times and is not dependent upon transaction log monitoring or other monitoring processes. |

Remarks
Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 supports two types of transactional replication. In the first instance, data is replicated at fixed intervals regardless of any changes made to that data. This type of transactional replication is more often identified as snapshot replication, as the data is simply copied as it exists at a given moment. Transactional replication can also determine replicated values based on changes made to that data. By default, SQL Server replication monitors changes to the transaction log of a database to determine which values are replicated.
Setting the ReplicationFrequency property controls the type of transactional replication defined by the TransPublication object and is part of creating transactional and snapshot replication publications. For more information, see the TransPublication section.
