Sql Server 2008 Replicate Synonym?

Question

I plan on updating some table names by create a synonym of the old name and renaming the table to what I want it to be. Can replication properly reference a synonym?

Also as a side question, is there an easy way to see if a specific table is actually being replicated? (via a query perhaps)

Answer 1

I don't think so. Replication works by reading the log and there are no log records generated for a synonym. As to your question about finding out which tables are replicated, a query on sysarticles in the table should get you where you want to go. HTH.
