Remarks

The SyncType property is a read-only property for transactional or snapshot replication and a read/write property for merge replication.

If the SyncType property is changed for a subscription to a merge publication after the initial snapshot has been applied, the subscription must be reinitialized. For more information, see How to: Reinitialize a Subscription (RMO Programming).

For a subscription to a transactional publication, ReplicationSupportOnly and InitializeWithBackup are only supported on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and later versions.

The SubscriptionDBName property can only be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher, by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database, or by the user that created the subscription.

The SubscriptionDBName property can only be set 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.

Retrieving the SubscriptionDBName property is equivalent to executing sp_helpsubscription or sp_helpmergesubscription.

Setting the SubscriptionDBName property is equivalent to executing sp_addmergesubscription or sp_changemergesubscription.

The SyncType property is available with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
