Defines a Subscriber partition for a merge publication with a parameterized row filter.
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub AddMergePartition ( _
mergePartition As MergePartition _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As MergePublication
Dim mergePartition As MergePartition
instance.AddMergePartition(mergePartition)
public void AddMergePartition(
MergePartition mergePartition
)
public:
void AddMergePartition(
MergePartition^ mergePartition
)
member AddMergePartition :
mergePartition:MergePartition -> unit
public function AddMergePartition(
mergePartition : MergePartition
)
Parameters
- mergePartition
Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.MergePartition
A MergePartition object that specifies the Subscriber partition being defined.
Remarks
Calling AddMergePartition is equivalent to executing sp_addmergepartition.
The AddMergePartition method can only be called by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database.
The AddMergePartition method is available only for instances of Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
