This section describes how to create simple publications consisting of whole tables, or of column-wise subsets of tables; these tables are also called articles. You can perform these tasks using Sybase Central or with the CREATE PUBLICATION statement in Interactive SQL.

All publications in Sybase Central appear in the Publications folder. Any articles you create for a publication appear on the Articles tab in the right pane when a publication is selected.

Each publication can contain one or more entire tables, but partial tables are also permitted. A table can be subdivided by columns, rows, or both.
