 To create a publication using a WHERE clause (SQL)

  1. Connect to the database as a user with DBA authority.

  2. Execute a CREATE PUBLICATION statement that uses a WHERE clause to include the rows you want to include in the publication.

    For example, the following statement creates a publication that publishes the ID, CompanyName, City, State, and Country columns of the Customers table, for customers marked as active in the Status column. The Status column is not published. 

    CREATE PUBLICATION PubCustomers (
   TABLE Customers (
      ID,
      CompanyName,
      City,
      State,
      Country )
   WHERE Status = 'active'
);

    The following statements subscribe two employees to the same publication. Both Ann Taylor and Sam Singer receive the same data. 

    CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
TO PubCustomers 
FOR Ann_Taylor;

CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
TO PubCustomers)
FOR Sam_Singer;

Users can subscribe to more than one publication, and can have more than one subscription to a single publication.
