Replication – Script – Dropping a table from an existing publication in SQL Server


In this article I will share the script that I use while dropping a table from an existing publication.
Below is the script that helps us achieve the same.

use [databasename]--Name of the DB in replication
go
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication=N'NameOfPublication',
@article=N'TestTable',--name of the table to be dropped
@subscriber=N'all'
go
use [databasename]
go
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'NameOfPublication',
@article = N'TestTable',--name of the table to be dropped
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1
go

Technical reference:
The details for the stored procedure sp_dropsubscription can be found in the below link
