removing replication

[Me]

I have a database that I have restored from another
server. This database was a subscriber and publisher to
both merge and trans subscriptions.

Now I can't seem to modfy any of the tables or columns
without getting nasty messages from SQL Enterprise Manager
about the table/column being replicated.

How do I fix this?

Try this.

Keep in mind that this will delete all publications in
this database, and delete any subscription information
that is in this database.

Before you run this, go to all publishers that are
publishing to this database and drop this subscriber.

I strongly suggest you backup your database before running
this.

Have you tried running sp_removedbreplication?

EXEC sp_removedbreplication 'database name'

There's a big mistake in here - try this

DECLARE @name varchar(129)

END

CLOSE list_pubs
DEALLOCATE list_pubs
GO

DECLARE @name varchar(129)

DECLARE list_replicated_tables CURSOR FOR
SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE replinfo <>0
