Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in microsoft.sqlserver.rmo.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property PublicationDBName As String
public string PublicationDBName { get; set; }
public:
property String^ PublicationDBName {
String^ get ();
void set (String^ value);
}
/** @property */
public String get_PublicationDBName ()
/** @property */
public void set_PublicationDBName (String value)
public function get PublicationDBName () : String
public function set PublicationDBName (value : String)
Property Value
A String value that specifies the name of the database where the publication is defined.
Remarks
PublicationDBName 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 PublicationDBName property cannot be changed.
The PublicationDBName property can only be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.
The PublicationDBName property can only be set by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.
Retrieving the PublicationDBName property is equivalent to executing sp_helppullsubscription (Transact-SQL) or sp_helpmergepullsubscription (Transact-SQL).
Setting the PublicationDBName property is equivalent to executing sp_addpullsubscription (Transact-SQL) or sp_addmergepullsubscription (Transact-SQL).
The PublicationDBName 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.
