You can remove a column from a publication using sp_remove_article_col.

To remove a column using sp_remove_article_col, the column must have been explicitly added to a publication using the “sp_add_article_col procedure” on page 383 . Although the “sp_add_article procedure” on

page 381, without use of sp_add_article_col, adds all the columns of a table to a publication, you cannot remove a single column from such a publication using sp_remove_article_col.

sp_remove_article_col ’Personnel’, ’employee’, ’emp_lname’ go
