cant drop rowguid or msrepl_tran_version

sql2k sp3
Ive got these columns on a previously replicated table and
I cant get rid of them. I went so far as to disable
Publisheing from the box and still no luck. I also removed
the default values and the indexes from them. I also tried
sp_repldropcolumn. Any ideas?
TIA, ChrisR
Chris,
there is a stored procedure to do this called sp_MSunmarkreplinfo which
takes a tablename as a parameter. Alternatively, setting replinfo to 0 in
sysobjects for the particular table should do it. Finally, running
sp_removedbreplication can be used to remove all traces of replication in
the subscriber database, but obviously must only be done if this database is
not also configured as a publisher.
HTH,
Paul Ibison
|||I appreciate the help. I had already run the
sp_MSunmarkreplinfo. I have dropped the Subscription db's.
And I ran sp_removedbreplication on the Publisher. I still
cant drop them. Any other ideas?
