[ , [ @compatibility_level = ] compatibility_level ]
Arguments
- [ @xact_seqno_start =] 'xact_seqno_start'
Specifies the lowest valued exact sequence number to return. xact_seqno_start is nchar(22), with a default of 0x00000000000000000000.
- [ @xact_seqno_end =] 'xact_seqno_end'
Specifies the highest exact sequence number to return. xact_seqno_end is nchar(22), with a default of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
- [ @originator_id =] 'originator_id'
Specifies if commands with the specified originator_id are returned. originator_id is int, with a default of NULL.
- [ @publisher_database_id =] 'publisher_database_id'
Specifies if commands with the specified publisher_database_id are returned. publisher_database_id is int, with a default of NULL.
- [ @article_id =] 'article_id'
Specifies if commands with the specified article_id are returned. article_id is int, with a default of NULL.
- [ @command_id =] command_id
Is the location of the command in MSrepl_commands (Transact-SQL) to be decoded. command_id is int, with a default of NULL. If specified, all other parameters must be specified also, and xact_seqno_startmust be identical to xact_seqno_end.
- [ @agent_id =] agent_id
Specifies that only commands for a specific replication agent are returned. agent_id is int, with a default value of NULL.
- [ @compatibility_level =] compatibility_level
Is the version of Microsoft SQL Server on which the compatibility_level is int, with a default value of 9000000.
