ReplicationTable.HasPrimaryKey Property

Definition

Gets a value that indicates whether or not the table has a primary key.

public:
 property bool HasPrimaryKey { bool get(); };
public bool HasPrimaryKey { get; }
member this.HasPrimaryKey : bool
Public ReadOnly Property HasPrimaryKey As Boolean

Property Value

true if the table has primary key; false if the table has no primary key.

Remarks

Transactional replication requires a primary key to identify rows. If there is a primary key constraint on one of the columns, the table can be published as an article in a transactional publication as well as in a snapshot and merge publication. If there is no primary key constraint on the table, then it is not possible to publish this table in a transactional publication.

The HasPrimaryKey property can be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database.
