Syntax

sys.sp_cdc_disable_db

Return Code Values

0 (success) or 1 (failure)

Result Sets

None

Remarks

sys.sp_cdc_disable_db disables change data capture for all tables in the database currently enabled. All system objects related to change data capture, such as change tables, jobs, stored procedures and functions, are dropped. The is_cdc_enabled column for the database entry in the sys.databases catalog view is set to 0.

Note

If there are many capture instances defined for the database at the time change data capture is disabled, a long running transaction can cause the execution of sys.sp_cdc_disable_db to fail. This problem can be avoided by disabling the individual capture instances by using sys.sp_cdc_disable_table before running sys.sp_cdc_disable_db.

Permissions

Requires membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.

Examples

The following example disables change data capture for the AdventureWorks2008R2 database.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
EXECUTE sys.sp_cdc_disable_db;
GO
