HRESULT GetHasRowVersionColumn(LPBOOL pRetVal);

Remarks

Microsoft® SQL Server™ requires that all articles in a transactional or snapshot publication that allow updatable subscriptions contain a unique identifier column named msrepl_tran_version, which is used to track changes to the replicated data. The HasRowVersionColumn property returns TRUE if a table already has a column named msrepl_tran_version. If HasRowVersionColumn returns FALSE, the msrepl_tran_version column is added to tables in transactional or snapshot publications that allow updatable subscriptions.

Note  If an application calls HasRowVersionColumn on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, FALSE is returned.
