This method is supported for backward compatibility. Use schema change replication when adding columns to or removing columns from a published table. For more information, see Making Schema Changes on Publication Databases.
The ReplicationDropColumn method can only be called by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher of by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database.
Calling ReplicationDropColumn is equivalent to executing sp_repldropcolumn (Transact-SQL).
This method is available on instances of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.
