Syntax

sp_dropdistributiondb [ @database= ] 'database'

Arguments

  • [ @database=] 'database'
    Is the database to drop. database is sysname, with no default.

Return Code Values

0 (success) or 1 (failure)

Remarks

sp_dropdistributiondb is used in all types of replication.

This stored procedure must be executed before dropping the Distributor by executing sp_dropdistributor.

sp_dropdistributiondb also removes a Queue Reader Agent job for the distribution database, if one exists.

To disable distribution, the distribution database must be online. If a database snapshot exists for the distribution database, it must be dropped before disabling distribution. A database snapshot is a read-only offline copy of a database, and is not related to a replication snapshot. For more information, see Database Snapshots.
