PublicationDB Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The PublicationDB property specifies a Microsoft SQL Server database providing data for a third-party data source or to a Subscriber-initiated subscription.

Syntax

object.PublicationDB [= value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string that identifies a SQL Server database by name

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write when using the SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) object to create a replication component.

Read-only when the object references an existing component.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetPublicationDB(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetPublicationDB(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note

SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
