SQL2000 - Replication - Publisher DB is removed but subscription still exists


I've tried to remove a replication between 2 databases on 2 different servers (both are SQL Server 2000).

The replication is completely removed from the publisher, however, the subscriber still has a link. I don't know very much about replication, so I hope someone can help me out here...

  • PUBLISHER has no traces
  • SUBSCRIBER I find a subscription in the Enterprise Manager under REPLICATION\SUBSCRIPTIONS: Subscriptions node

  • The line sais: Subscription!

If I run sp_dropsubscription on publisher site, it sais that the DB doesn't exist (which is correct since it was detached). If I run sp_dropsubscription on subscriber site, I get 'The Publication does not exist.

How can I remove this subscription?

Thanks!


Solution

  • I was able to delete the subscription using the SQL Management studio (2008).
