Note  SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.

Remarks

The format and contents of the UpdateCommand property must match those specified for the @upd_cmd argument of the sp_addarticle system stored procedure. For more information, see sp_addarticle.

Note  If an application sets UpdateCommand after the initial snapshot has been created, a new snapshot must be generated and reapplied to each subscription. Snapshots are applied when the next scheduled snapshot and distribution agent run.
