DistributionDatabase2 Object

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 DistributionDatabase2 object represents a database located at the Distributor used to store replication information. A Distributor can have multiple distribution databases. The DistributionDatabase2 object extends the functionality of the DistributionDatabase object.

Remarks

The DistributionDatabase2 object extends the functionality of the DistributionDatabase object for use with features that were introduced in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. It also inherits the properties and methods of the DistributionDatabase object. With the DistributionDatabase2 object, you can:

  • Retrieve detailed information about replication agent errors.

  • Retrieve detailed information about the Queue Reader Agent.

The methods and properties of the DistributionDatabase2 object may not be compatible with instances of SQL Server version 7.0 or earlier. For more information about using the DistributionDatabase2 object in an application that also runs with an instance of SQL Server 7.0, refer to the Remarks section for specific methods and properties. For more information, see Programming Extended SQL-DMO Objects.
