MSrepl_tran_version - needed or not?

Hi
Can someone please tell me, when i setup a publication for
transaction replication (push only), sometimes it says:
"SQL Server requires that all articles in a publication
allowing updatable subscriptions contain a
uniqueidentifier column named 'MSrepl_tran_version' used
for tracking changes to the replicated data. SQL Server
will add such a column to published tables that do not
have one"
But other times it does not ask to do this, and i have
successfully had a replication running without the
requirements is says. Do i need it or not?
Hi
If you want the changes to be replicated from the subscriber to publisher,
using immediate updating or queed updating, it becomes a requirement that
uniqueidentifier column is needed. If you dont want the reverse update, then
you may not need that column. Hope it helps

MSDN Subscription Level for latest Yukon CTP

I'm working on some research that requires me to have access to the
latest CTP of Yukon, and I know it's available via MSDN subscription.
Can anyone tell me the minimum subscription level required to have
download access to the CTP?
Thanks

Yes, but the converse is not true. The download center provides much more
than what is shipped. The CTP builds of SQL Server, not the Beta releases,
are what the poster asked about, and they are not included in any MSDN
shipments, so the shipment lists won't help answer the question.
I believe the two CTP builds released so far are available to all
MSDN subscribers, regardless of subscription level. At least that's
what it says at
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/...erLowCostPR.asp
I haven't heard anyone complain that they are an MSDN
subscriber but couldn't get the CTP, either. For the record,
the December CTP of the Express version (the SQL engine
with some limitations and no tools) is available to anyone,
MSDN subscriber or not, here:
