Local configuration insted of Replication

[viswaraju]

Hi, help me in this.
Instead of using replication to share data.Why can not we configure the data locally and run the data server for the data to modify or view data.
Is this is good practise.If not suggest me.

thanks and regards.

thanks and regards.

Your local server will be local and will only be available when your personal machine is running and will not be available when your desktop/laptop is off. This is not a good practice.

If you implement Replication then you will be able to distribute the user load on to multiple servers.
