Someone has already addressed this issue but I'll throw in my two cents again. There was a misunderstanding somewhere. When you "activate" shareplex (set up the software for replication, specifying objects to replicate, initial sync point, etc...) it's perfectly OK for tables to have chained rows, but the "activation" may take longer in that case.

I regret that the developer did not fully comprehend what you meant. I'm sure she would appreciate your compliment. She did want to make sure that it was understood that it would be possible to "replicate" DDL, but that feature isn't in high enough demand (yet) apparently.
