Change Publication and Article Properties

  • Článek

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Managed Instance

After a publication has been created, most publication and article properties can be changed, but some require that the snapshot be regenerated and/or subscriptions be reinitialized. This topic provides information about all properties that require one or both of these actions if they are changed.

Using stored procedures, it is possible to drop a subscription to an article; using SQL Server Management Studio, the entire subscription must be dropped, recreated, and synchronized. For more information, see Add Articles to and Drop Articles from Existing Publications.

@operation		 New snapshot.

Change pre- or post-snapshot scripts. sp_changemergepublication pre_snapshot_script

post_snapshot_script		 New snapshot (also required if you change the script contents).

Reinitialization is required to apply the new script to the Subscriber.
Add a join filter or logical record. sp_addmergefilter All parameters. New snapshot.

Reinitialize subscriptions.
Drop a join filter or logical record. sp_dropmergefilter All parameters. New snapshot.

Reinitialize subscriptions.
Change a join filter or logical record. sp_changemergefilter @property

@value		 New snapshot

Disable the use of parameterized filters (enabling parameterized filters does not require any special actions). sp_changemergepublication A value of false for dynamic_filters New snapshot.

Reinitialize subscriptions.
Enable or disable the use of precomputed partitions. sp_changemergepublication use_partition_groups New snapshot.
Enable or disable Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (8.x) partition optimization. sp_changemergepublication keep_partition_changes Reinitialize subscriptions.

Article Properties for Merge Replication

Description Stored Procedure Properties Requirements
Drop an article, where the article has the last parameterized filter in the publication. sp_dropmergearticle All parameters New snapshot.

Reinitialize subscriptions.
Drop an article, where the article is a parent in a join filter or logical record (this has the side effect of dropping the join). sp_dropmergearticle All parameters New snapshot.

Reinitialize subscriptions.
Drop an article, all other circumstances. sp_dropmergearticle All parameters New snapshot.
Include a column filter that was previously unpublished. sp_mergearticlecolumn @column

@operation		 New snapshot.

Reinitialize subscriptions.
Add, drop, or change a row filter. sp_changemergearticle subset_filterclause New snapshot.

Reinitialize subscriptions.

If you add, drop, or change a parameterized filter, pending changes at the Subscriber cannot be uploaded to the Publisher during reinitialization. If you want to upload pending changes, synchronize all subscriptions before changing the filter.

If an article is not involved in any join filters, you can drop the article and add it again with a different row filter, which does not require the entire subscription to be reinitialized. For more information about adding and dropping articles, see Add Articles to and Drop Articles from Existing Publications.
