Syntax

sp_showrowreplicainfo [ [ @ownername = ] 'ownername' ]
    [ , [ @tablename =] 'tablename' ]

    [ , [ @show = ] 'show' ] 

Arguments

• [ @ownername= ] 'ownername'

• [ @tablename =] 'tablename'
  Is the name of the table that contains the row for which the information is returned. tablename is sysname, with a default of NULL.

• [ @rowguid =] rowguid
  Is the unique identifier of the row. rowguid is uniqueidentifier, with no default.

• [ @show= ] 'show'
  Determines the amount of information to return in the result set. show is nvarchar(20) with a default of BOTH. If row, only row version information is returned. If columns, only column version information is returned. If both, both row and column information is returned.

Remarks

sp_showrowreplicainfo is used in merge replication.
