SubscriptionDBName is a required property and must be set before the subscription is created on the server. Once the subscription registration exists on the server, the SubscriptionDBName property cannot be changed.
The SubscriptionDBName property can only be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher, by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database, or by the user that created the subscription.
The SubscriptionDBName property can only be set 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.
Retrieving the SubscriptionDBName property is equivalent to executing sp_helpsubscription or sp_helpmergesubscription.
Setting the SubscriptionDBName property is equivalent to executing sp_addsubscription or sp_addmergesubscription.
