Replication system tables

  • I recently discovered that while the replication system tables (eg sysarticles, syssubscriptions, syspublications etc) are marked as system tables in enterprise manager, if I query the sysobjects table or ose the objectproperties function then they are marked as user tables.

    Does anyone know if there's an way in TSQL to see that these are system tables?

  • You shoudn't create tables begining with sys, so all the tables with that word, should be also system tables.

  • Unfortunatly I have no control over table names. Amoung the tables I have in this db are a couple called System_

    I can do some sql to find all tables that are sys and not system but I was really hoping there's an easier way, since Enterprise manager does recognises those tables as system.
