Remarks

The FilterClause property cannot be changed for an existing article.

The FilterClause 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, and by users who are members of the publication access list (PAL).

The FilterClause property can only be set by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher. It can also be set by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database.

Retrieving FilterClause is equivalent to executing sp_helparticle.

Setting FilterClause is equivalent to executing sp_addarticle and sp_articlefilter.

The FilterClause property is available with SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

// Create a connection to the Publisher.

// Create a filtered transactional articles in the following steps:
// 1) Create the  article with a horizontal filter clause.
// 2) Add columns to or remove columns from the article.
