Remarks
The DatabaseName property is a read/write property, but it is necessary to set this property before the object is created. The DatabaseName property cannot be changed for an existing publication.
The DatabaseName 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 users in the publication access list (PAL).
The DatabaseName 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 DatabaseName property is equivalent to executing sp_helppublication (Transact-SQL) or sp_helpmergepublication (Transact-SQL).
Setting the DatabaseName property is equivalent to executing sp_addpublication (Transact-SQL) or sp_addmergepublication (Transact-SQL).
