Row Guid

I thought I read that 2000 transactional replication used a ROW Guid on the
subscriber. But I just looked at the test instance I set up and I see no
such thing. If Sql Server does not use a RowGuid, how does it keep track of
everything? just by the primary key?
Trans replication doesn't use rowguid. Only Merge uses it. Trans, (immediate
and queued) use ms_repl_tran_version) to keeep track. If it's only a one way
transactional, it doesn't use anything because it doesn't need to.
|||It uses the rowguid key if you are using immediate updating, immediate
updating with queued failover, or queued.
