Remarks

sp_droppublication is used in snapshot replication and transactional replication.

sp_droppublication recursively drops all articles associated with a publication and then drops the publication itself. A publication cannot be removed if it has one or more subscriptions to it. For information about how to remove subscriptions, see Delete a Push Subscription and Delete a Pull Subscription.

Executing sp_droppublication to drop a publication does not remove published objects from the publication database or the corresponding objects from the subscription database. Use DROP <object> to remove these objects manually if necessary.

Permissions

Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can execute sp_droppublication.

Examples

DECLARE @publicationDB AS sysname;
DECLARE @publication AS sysname;
SET @publicationDB = N'AdventureWorks'; 
SET @publication = N'AdvWorksProductTran'; 

-- Remove a transactional publication.
USE [AdventureWorks2012]
EXEC sp_droppublication @publication = @publication;

-- Remove replication objects from the database.
USE [master]
EXEC sp_replicationdboption
