sp_markpendingschemachange (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server

Used for supportability of merge publications by enabling an administrator to skip selected pending schema changes, so that they aren't replicated. This stored procedure is executed at the Publisher on the publication database.

Waarschuwing

This stored procedure can cause schema changes not to be replicated. It should only be used to resolve issues after other methods, such as reinitialization, have already been tried or are too expensive in terms of performance.

    [ @publication = ] N'publication'
