Arguments

  • [ @publication=] 'publication'
    Is the name of the publication from which to drop an article. publicationis sysname, with no default.

  • [ @article=] 'article'
    Is the name of the article to drop from the given publication. articleis sysname, with no default. If all, all existing articles in the specified merge publication are removed. Even if article is all, the publication still must be dropped separately from the article.

  • [ @force_invalidate_snapshot=] force_invalidate_snapshot
    Enables or disables the ability to have a snapshot invalidated. force_invalidate_snapshot is a bit, with a default 0.

    0 specifies that changes to the merge article do not cause the snapshot to be invalid.

    1 means that changes to the merge article may cause the snapshot to be invalid, and if that is the case, a value of 1 gives permission for the new snapshot to occur.

  • [ @force_reinit_subscription = ] force_reinit_subscription

Remarks

sp_dropmergearticle is used in merge replication. For more information about dropping articles, see Adding Articles to and Dropping Articles from Existing Publications.

Executing sp_dropmergearticle to drop an article from a publication does not remove the object from the publication database or the corresponding object from the subscription database. Use DROP <object> to remove these objects manually if necessary.
