PreCreationMethod Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The PreCreationMethod property controls Subscriber replication object changes when article synchronization occurs.

Parts

Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetPreCreationMethod(
SQLDMO_PREARTICLE_TYPE* pRetVal);
HRESULT SetPreCreationMethod(
SQLDMO_PREARTICLE_TYPE NewValue);
Settings
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
SQLDMOPreArt_DeleteRows |
2 |
Performs a logged delete prior to synchronization. |
SQLDMOPreArt_DropTable |

Drops and then re-creates the table to synchronize. |
SQLDMOPreArt_None |

Remarks
If an application sets PreCreationMethod after the initial snapshot has been created, a new snapshot must be generated and then reapplied to each subscription. Snapshots are applied when the next scheduled snapshot and distribution or merge agent run.
