Remarks

ReplicationDatabase can be used to represent a publication or subscription database. ReplicationDatabase cannot be used to represent system databases, such as master, tempdb, msdb, and model. A distribution database is represented by DistributionDatabase.

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

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Examples

This example creates the distribution database when the Distributor is installed. It also enables merge and transactional publishing on the AdventureWorks2008R2 database.

          // Set the server and database names
            string distributionDbName = "distribution";
            string publisherName = publisherInstance;
            string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks2008R2";

                // and local Publisher.
