Add column to table

Hi everybody.
Does anyone know if it is possible to add a formula field as column of a
replicated table?
How can I do it?
Thanks,
Marco
You can add a formula column the same as would if you added a non-formula
column to a published table. See BOL topic Schema Changes on Publication
Databases for more details.
To add columns to an article
1. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, under Replication, expand Publications
and then right-click the publication where you want to modify a schema.
2. Click Properties, click Filter Columns, and then click Add Column.
3. In the Add Column to Replicated Table dialog box, enter the name of the
column and the SQL syntax that defines the column. For example if I want
to add a new formula column with a value of 10 greater than an existing
column col1, the SQL syntax should be: "AS ([col1] + 10)" . (For
information about the syntax required to define the column, see the
Transact-SQL ALTER TABLE statement)
4. In the Add Column to Replicated Table dialog box, select the
publications to which you want to add the column.

|||Try something like:
sp_repladdcolumn @.source_object = 'tablename',
@.column = 'columnname',
@.typetext = ' as (ID + 1)'
I just used this on a test system where ID is an existing column and it was
added on the publisher and subscriber (through synchronization) fine.
