sp_repldropcolumn (Transact-SQL)

  • Artikel

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Managed Instance

Drops a column from an existing table article that was published. This stored procedure is executed at the Publisher on the publication database.

Important

This stored procedure has been deprecated and is being supported mainly for backward-compatibility. It should only be used with SQL Server 2000 (8.x) Publishers and SQL Server 2000 (8.x) republishing Subscribers. This procedure shouldn't be used on columns with data types that were introduced in SQL Server 2005 (9.x) and later versions.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

sp_repldropcolumn
    [ @source_object = ] N'source_object'
    , [ @column = ] N'column'
    [ , [ @from_agent = ] from_agent ]
    [ , [ @schema_change_script = ] N'schema_change_script' ]
    [ , [ @force_invalidate_snapshot = ] force_invalidate_snapshot ]
    [ , [ @force_reinit_subscription = ] force_reinit_subscription ]
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @source_object = ] N'source_object'

The name of the table article that contains the column to drop. @source_object is nvarchar(270), with no default.

[ @column = ] N'column'

The name of the column in the table to be dropped. @column is sysname, with no default.

[ @from_agent = ] from_agent

Specifies whether the stored procedure is being executed by a replication agent. @from_agent is int, with a default of 0.

Use 1 when this stored procedure is being executed by a replication agent, otherwise use the default value of 0.

[ @schema_change_script = ] N'schema_change_script'

Specifies the name and path of a SQL Server script used to modify the system generated custom stored procedures. @schema_change_script is nvarchar(4000), with a default of NULL.

Replication allows user-defined custom stored procedures to replace one or more of the default procedures used in transactional replication. @schema_change_script is executed after a schema change is made to a replicated table article using sp_repldropcolumn, and can be used for one of the following options:

  • If custom stored procedures are automatically regenerated, @schema_change_script can be used to drop these custom stored procedures and replace them with user-defined custom stored procedures that support the new schema.

  • If custom stored procedures aren't automatically regenerated, @schema_change_scriptcan be used to regenerate these stored procedures or to create user-defined custom stored procedures.

[ @force_invalidate_snapshot = ] force_invalidate_snapshot

Enables or disables the ability to have a snapshot invalidated. @force_invalidate_snapshot is bit, with a default of 1.

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

  • 0 specifies that changes to the article don't cause the snapshot to be invalid.

[ @force_reinit_subscription = ] force_reinit_subscription

Enables or disables the ability to have the subscription reinitialized. @force_reinit_subscription is bit, with a default of 0.

  • 0 specifies that changes to the article don't cause the subscription to be reinitialized.

  • 1 specifies that changes to the article might cause the subscription to be reinitialized, and if that is the case, a value of 1 gives permission for the subscription reinitialization to occur.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).
