The following rules are associated with replication partitions:
▪ Replication partition commands are transactional and must be committed in order to take effect. Unless committed, the result of the command is not visible to other database users, including the replication process.
▪ Dropping any database table implicitly drops the table from all replication partitions where the table is included and re-creating the table does not re-add the table to the partition.
▪ A replication partition can be empty but it cannot include tables that do not exist in the database; any attempt to create a replication partition (with a table that does not exist) generates the following error:
