Remarks

Removing a pull subscription by using SQL-DMO is a two-step process. The application must remove the subscription at the Subscriber, then, separately remove the record of the subscription at the Publisher and Distributor.

To remove a pull subscription to a merge replication publication

1. Establish SQLServer object connection to the Subscriber.
   
   
2. Extract the MergePullSubscription object referencing the subscription from the Subscriber MergePullSubscriptions collection.
   
   
3. Use the Remove method of the MergePullSubscription object.
   
   
4. Establish a SQLServer object connection to the Publisher.
   
   
5. Use the DisableMergeSubscription method of the ReplicationDatabase object referencing the published database.
