The contribution to a publication from one table is called an article. Changes can be made to a publication by adding, modifying, or deleting articles, or by renaming the publication. If an article is modified, the entire definition of the modified article must be entered.

It is recommended that you perform a successful synchronization of a publication immediately before you alter it.

You cannot use the WHERE clause for publications that are defined as FOR DOWNLOAD ONLY or WITH SCRIPTED UPLOAD.

The SUBSCRIBE BY clause applies to SQL Remote only.

The USING clause is for scripted upload only.

You set options for a MobiLink publication with the ADD OPTION clause in the ALTER SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION statement or CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION statement.

When altering a MobiLink publication, an article can only be dropped after the execution of a START SYNCHRONIZATION SCHEMA CHANGE statement.

Must have DBA authority, or be the owner of the publication. Requires exclusive access to all tables referred to in the statement.
