sql-server - T-SQL to find if a Database is Subscribed on the Subscriber in Transactional Replication

Question

T-SQL to find if a Database is Subscribed on the Subscriber in Transactional Replication. I don't want to query Distribution for the details.

The following doesn't work.

SELECT is_subscribed FROM sys.databases

SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('database', 'IsSubscribed')

Answer 1

So far this is the best way I found but I am not sure if this works in Non-Transactional Replication.

SELECT COALESCE(OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('dbo.MSreplication_objects'), 'IsMSShipped'),0) AS IsSubscribed

OR

SELECT name
FROM sys.databases
WHERE OBJECT_ID(name+'.dbo.MSreplication_objects') IS NOT NULL

Answer 2

The query above will work unless there are some databases that are not ONLINE, for example RESTORING then the query will fail. It's better to copy the list of available databases into temp table and then run the logic against it:

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#db') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #db
SELECT name INTO #db FROM sys.databases WHERE state_desc = 'ONLINE' 
SELECT name FROM #db WHERE OBJECT_ID(name+'.dbo.MSreplication_objects') IS NOT NULL

first you get Aaron Bertrand's sp_foreachdb replacement for sp_MSforeachdb

then you use it in the script below:

---------------------------------------------------------
-- get all info about subscribers in a server
-- marcello miorelli
-- 23-dec-2017
---------------------------------------------------------
IF object_id('TEMPDB..#RADHE_SP2') IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE #RADHE_SP2

    create table #RADHE_SP2 (
        publisher sysname NOT NULL,  
        publisher_db sysname NOT NULL, 
        publication sysname NOT NULL, 
        replication_type int,
        subscription_type int,
        last_updated datetime,
        subscriberd_db sysname,
        update_mode int,
        last_sync_status int,
        last_sync_summary nvarchar(4000),
        last_sync_time datetime)


declare @db_list NVARCHAR(MAX)

SELECT @db_list  = STUFF((
                        SELECT ', ' + name
                         FROM sys.databases d
                        WHERE 1=1
                          and d.[state] = 0
                        FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.[1]', 'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 2, '')
--select @db_list

--exec sp_foreachdb @database_list = @db_list
--               ,@command='use ?; print db_name()'   


EXEC sp_foreachdb
@database_list = @db_list,
@command=
'use ?; 

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED

insert into #RADHE_SP2
exec sp_MSenumsubscriptions

' 

SELECT * FROM #RADHE_SP2

that will give you something like this:
