I have a UI that needs certain portions to be disabled if the SQL Server it’s connecting to does not support replication and which types of replication it supports (snapshot, merge, transactional). I looked through the doc for the SERVERPROPERTY function, but didn’t see anything that looked like it was what I needed. Any suggestions?

Note – It would be preferable to not have to resort to switching on the Edition.

    So it looks like there is no easy way to determine if replication is supported, however, it is possible to determine if the database is being replicated:

    SELECT name, CASE WHEN is_published = 1 OR is_merge_published = 1 OR is_distributor = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS uses_replication FROM sys.databases

    That’s about as close as I can get I think.
