Currently running transactional replication with 1
subscriber. Primarily used as a high-availablity standby
so the subscriber can update it's replica in the event of
any failure on the primary.

Additonal columns containing uniqueidentifiers were added
to various tables being replicated by sql server as part
of the replication installation.

If I delete the subsciber and publisher information, will
all tables return to their original schema state without
the uniqueidentier columns? Ideally, this is where I want

This is one of my most pressing questions, as well. I'm just starting to
investigate SQL replication. I know that "unreplicating" MS Access can be a
bear, and I want to know how hard it is in SQL...

TIA to anyone who can answer this question.

Merge replication adds these columns. Transactional with
immediate updating subscribers adds a rowversion column.

To fix this you have to drop your subscribers, and then
remove these columns. You can do this using Enterprise
Manager, right click on your table, select design table,
and delete the column.

Hi Tom,

As I understand, you are running transactional replication with one
subscriber. Currently, you want to drop the uniqueidentier columns from a
published article. If I have misunderstood, please feel free to let me
know.
Based on my research, it seems that you are using transactional replication
with immediate updating. The uniqueidentifier column is added by SQL
Server. Unfortunately, after removing the publication and subscription, we
cannot remove the uniqueidentifier column added by SQL Server. You need to
drop the uniqueidentifier columns manually.

Thanks for you using MSDN newsgroup.
