Remarks
sp_replicationdboption
is used in snapshot replication, transactional replication, and merge replication.
This procedure creates or drops specific replication system tables, security accounts, and so on, depending on the options given. Sets the corresponding is_published
(transactional or snapshot replication), is_merge_published
(merge replication), or is_distributor
bits in the master.databases
system table and creates the necessary system tables.
To disable publishing, the publication database must be online. If a database snapshot exists for the publication database, it must be dropped before disabling publishing. A database snapshot is a read-only offline copy of a database, and isn't related to a replication snapshot. For more information, see Database snapshots (SQL Server).
