Computed columns

Tables containing computed columns that are physically stored in a table–columns marked as PERSISTED in Microsoft SQL Server–can be marked for replication, and these columns will be replicated. Tables containing virtual computed columns–computed columns that are not physically stored in a table–can be marked for replication, but these columns will not be replicated. To maintain consistency between the primary and replicate databases for a marked table containing a virtual computed column, make sure that the expression defining the virtual computed column is the same in both the primary and replicate databases.
