Replication Tables (Transact-SQL)

A replication topology is supported by replication system tables. When a user database is configured as a Publisher or a Subscriber, replication adds system tables to the database. These tables are removed when a user database is removed from a replication topology. For general rules regarding using system tables, see System Tables (Transact-SQL).
