This table describes the properties of articles and the values for those properties.

Property Values Description
creation_script Path and name of an article schema script used to create target tables. The default is NULL.
del_cmd DELETE statement to execute; otherwise, it's constructed from the log.
description New descriptive entry for the article.
dest_object Provided for backward compatibility. Use dest_table.
dest_table New destination table.
destination_owner Name of the owner of the destination object.
filter New stored procedure to be used to filter the table (horizontal filtering). The default is NULL. Can't be changed for publications in peer-to-peer replication.
fire_triggers_on_snapshot true Replicated user triggers are executed when the initial snapshot is applied.

Note: For triggers to be replicated, the bitmask value of schema_option must include the value 0x100.
false Replicated user triggers aren't executed when the initial snapshot is applied.
identity_range Controls the size of assigned identity ranges assigned at the Subscriber. Not supported for peer-to-peer replication.
ins_cmd INSERT statement to execute; otherwise, it's constructed from the log.
pre_creation_cmd Precreation command that can drop, delete, or truncate the destination table before synchronization is applied.
none Doesn't use a command.
drop Drops the destination table.
delete Deletes the destination table.
truncate Truncates the destination table.
pub_identity_range Controls the size of assigned identity ranges assigned at the Subscriber. Not supported for peer-to-peer replication.
schema_option Specifies the bitmap of the schema generation option for the given article. schema_option is binary(8). For more information, see the Remarks section.
0x00 Disables scripting by the Snapshot Agent.
0x01 Generates the object creation (CREATE TABLE, CREATE PROCEDURE, and so on).
0x02 Generates the stored procedures that propagate changes for the article, if defined.
0x04 Identity columns are scripted using the IDENTITY property.
0x08 Replicate timestamp columns. If not set, timestamp columns are replicated as binary.
0x10 Generates a corresponding clustered index.
0x20 Converts user-defined data types (UDT) to base data types at the Subscriber. This option can't be used when there's a CHECK or DEFAULT constraint on a UDT column, if a UDT column is part of the primary key, or if a computed column references a UDT column. Not supported for Oracle Publishers.
0x40 Generates corresponding nonclustered indexes.
0x80 Includes declared referential integrity on the primary keys.
0x100 Replicates user triggers on a table article, if defined.
0x200 Replicates FOREIGN KEY constraints. If the referenced table isn't part of a publication, all FOREIGN KEY constraints on a published table aren't replicated.
0x400 Replicates CHECK constraints.
0x800 Replicates defaults.
0x1000 Replicates column-level collation.
0x2000 Replicates extended properties associated with the published article source object.

0x2000000 XML schema collections bound to xml columns aren't replicated.
0x4000000 Replicates indexes on xml columns.
0x8000000 Create any schemas not already present on the subscriber.
0x10000000 Converts xml columns to ntext on the Subscriber.
0x20000000 Converts large object data types (nvarchar(max), varchar(max), and varbinary(max)) that were introduced in SQL Server 2005 (9.x) to data types that are supported on SQL Server 2000 (8.x).
0x40000000 Replicate permissions.
0x80000000 Attempt to drop dependencies to any objects that aren't part of the publication.
0x100000000 Use this option to replicate the FILESTREAM attribute if it's specified on varbinary(max) columns. Don't specify this option if you're replicating tables to SQL Server 2005 (9.x) Subscribers. Replicating tables that have FILESTREAM columns to SQL Server 2000 (8.x) Subscribers isn't supported, regardless of how this schema option is set.

See related option 0x800000000.
0x200000000 Converts date and time data types (date, time, datetimeoffset, and datetime2) that were introduced in SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) to data types that are supported on earlier versions of SQL Server.
0x400000000 Replicates the compression option for data and indexes. For more information, see Data compression.
0x800000000 Set this option to store FILESTREAM data on its own filegroup at the Subscriber. If this option isn't set, FILESTREAM data is stored on the default filegroup. Replication doesn't create filegroups; therefore, if you set this option, you must create the filegroup before you apply the snapshot at the Subscriber. For more information about how to create objects before you apply the snapshot, see Execute Scripts Before and After the Snapshot Is Applied.

See related option 0x100000000.
0x1000000000 Converts common language runtime (CLR) user-defined types (UDTs) larger than 8,000 bytes to varbinary(max) so that columns of type UDT can be replicated to Subscribers that are running SQL Server 2005 (9.x).
0x2000000000 Converts the hierarchyid data type to varbinary(max) so that columns of type hierarchyid can be replicated to Subscribers that are running SQL Server 2005 (9.x). For more information about how to use hierarchyid columns in replicated tables, see hierarchyid data type method reference.
0x4000000000 Replicates any filtered indexes on the table. For more information about filtered indexes, see Create filtered indexes.
0x8000000000 Converts the geography and geometry data types to varbinary(max) so that columns of these types can be replicated to Subscribers that are running SQL Server 2005 (9.x).
0x10000000000 Replicates indexes on columns of type geography and geometry.
0x20000000000 Replicates the SPARSE attribute for columns. For more information about this attribute, see Use sparse columns.
0x40000000000 Enable scripting by the snapshot agent to create memory optimized table on the subscriber.
0x80000000000 Converts clustered index to nonclustered index for memory-optimized articles.
status Specifies the new status of the property.
dts horizontal partitions Identified for informational purposes only. Not supported. Future compatibility is not guaranteed.
include column names Column names are included in the replicated INSERT statement.
no column names Column names aren't included in the replicated INSERT statement.
no dts horizontal partitions The horizontal partition for the article isn't defined by a transformable subscription.
none Clears all status options in the sysarticles table and marks the article as inactive.
parameters Changes are propagated to the Subscriber using parameterized commands. This is the default setting for a new article.
string literals Changes are propagated to the Subscriber using string literal values.
sync_object Name of the table or view used to produce a synchronization output file. The default is NULL. Not supported for Oracle Publishers.
tablespace Identifies the tablespace used by the logging table for an article published from an Oracle database. For more information, see Manage Oracle Tablespaces.
threshold The percentage value that controls when the Distribution Agent assigns a new identity range. Not supported for peer-to-peer replication.
type Not supported for Oracle Publishers.

upd_cmd UPDATE statement to execute; otherwise, it's constructed from the log.
NULL NULL Returns a list of article properties that can be changed.

[ @force_invalidate_snapshot = ] force_invalidate_snapshot

Acknowledges that the action taken by this stored procedure might invalidate an existing snapshot. @force_invalidate_snapshot is bit, with a default of 0.

0 specifies that changes to the article don't cause the snapshot to be invalid. If the stored procedure detects that the change does require a new snapshot, an error occurs and no changes are made.

1 specifies that changes to the article might cause the snapshot to be invalid, and if there are existing subscriptions that would require a new snapshot, gives permission for the existing snapshot to be marked as obsolete and a new snapshot generated.

See the Remarks section for the properties that, when changed, require the generation of a new snapshot.

[ @force_reinit_subscription = ] force_reinit_subscription

Acknowledges that the action taken by this stored procedure might require existing subscriptions to be reinitialized. @force_reinit_subscription is bit, with a default of 0.

0 specifies that changes to the article don't cause the subscription to be reinitialized. If the stored procedure detects that the change requires that existing subscriptions are reinitialized, an error occurs, and no changes are made.

1 specifies that changes to the article cause existing subscriptions to be reinitialized, and gives permission for the subscription reinitialization to occur.

See the Remarks section for the properties that, when changed, require that all existing subscriptions be reinitialized.

[ @publisher = ] N'publisher'

Specifies a non-SQL Server Publisher. @publisher is sysname, with a default of NULL.

Note

publisher shouldn't be used when changing article properties on a SQL Server Publisher.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

sp_changearticle is used in snapshot replication and transactional replication.

When an article belongs to a publication that supports peer-to-peer transactional replication, you can only change the description, ins_cmd, upd_cmd, and del_cmd properties.

Changing any of the following properties requires that a new snapshot is generated, and you must specify a value of 1 for the @force_invalidate_snapshot parameter:

  • del_cmd
  • dest_table
  • destination_owner
  • ins_cmd
  • pre_creation_cmd
  • schema_options
  • upd_cmd

Changing any of the following properties requires that existing subscriptions be reinitialized, and you must specify a value of 1 for the @force_reinit_subscription parameter.

  • del_cmd
  • dest_table
  • destination_owner
  • filter
  • ins_cmd
  • status
  • upd_cmd

Within an existing publication, you can use sp_changearticle to change an article without having to drop and re-create the entire publication.

Note

When changing the value of schema_option, the system doesn't perform a bitwise update. This means that when you set schema_option using sp_changearticle, existing bit settings might be turned off. To retain the existing settings, you should perform | (Bitwise OR) between the value that you're setting and the current value of schema_option, which can be determined by executing sp_helparticle.

Valid schema options

The following table describes the allowable values of schema_option based upon the replication type (shown across the top) and the article type (shown down the first column).
