Notes on publications

  • The different publication types described above can be combined. A single publication can publish a subset of columns from a set of tables and use a WHERE clause to select a set of rows to be replicated.
  • DBA authority is required to create and drop publications.
  • Publications can be altered only by the DBA or the publication's owner.
  • Altering publications in a running SQL Remote setup is likely to cause replication errors and can lead to loss of data in the replication system unless carried out with care.
  • Views cannot be included in publications.
  • Stored procedures cannot be included in publications. For a discussion of how SQL Remote replicates procedures and triggers, see Replication of procedures.
