Creating publications

In this section

This section describes how to create simple publications consisting of whole

 

tables, or of column-wise subsets of tables.

Simple publications are also discussed in the chapter “A Tutorial for Adaptive Server Enterprise Users” on page 53 .

Creating whole-table articles

The simplest type of article is one that includes all the rows and columns of a database table.

To create an article that includes all the rows and columns of a table

1.Mark the table for replication. You do this by executing the sp_add_remote_table procedure:

sp_add_remote_table table-name

 

2.

Add the table to the publication. You do this by executing the

 

 

sp_add_article procedure:

 

 

sp_add_article publication-name, table-name

Example

The following commands add the table SalesRep to the SalesRepData

 

 

publication:

sp_add_remote_table ’SalesRep’

sp_add_article ’SalesRepData’, ’SalesRep’ go

Creating articles containing some of the columns in a table

To create an article that includes only some of the columns from a table, you need to list the columns that you wish to include, using sp_add_article_col. If no columns are listed, the article includes all columns of the table.

To create an article that includes some of the columns and all the rows of a table

1.Mark the table for replication. You do this by executing the sp_add_remote_table procedure:

sp_add_remote_table table-name go
