Could not update the distribution database subscription table. The subscription status could not be changed.

在一个测试服务器删除发布（Publication）时遇到下面错误，具体如下所示

标题: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

------------------------------

Could not delete publication 'RPL_GES_MIS_QCSDB'.

------------------------------

其他信息:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

------------------------------

'xxxxx' is not defined as a Subscriber for 'xxxxxxxx'.

Could not update the distribution database subscription table. The subscription status could not be changed.

Changed database context to 'xxxx'. (Microsoft SQL Server，错误: 20032)

其实这个环境是克隆过来，生产服务器是配置过发布订阅，复制克隆后，修改过服务器名称，另外在实际服务器上，并没有真的订阅这个Publication，当然这个测试环境的复制可能还被人折腾过。这个就是我当前案例的环境。

遇到这个错误时，可以使用下面脚本删除所有Subcrition后，

USE DataBaseName;
GO

EXEC sp_dropsubscription
    @publication =N'RPL_GES_MIS_QCSDB',  --根据具体情况填写Publication名称
    @article= N'all',
    @subscriber=N'all',
    @ignore_distributor=1;

 

然后手工删除分发服务器（当然也可以使用下面脚本删除，根据实际情况，修改对应的数据库名称）。

use DatabaseName;

GO

exec sp_droppublication @publication = N'RPL_GES_MIS_QCSDB', @ignore_distributor = 1

exec sp_helpreplicationdboption @dbname = N'DatabaseName', @reserved = 1

use [DatabaseName]

exec sp_helppublication

use [DatabaseName]

exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = N'DatabaseName', @optname = N'publish', @value = N'false'
