Can I alter column property let say assign primary key or change datatype on Article that part of replication (has subscriber)?

Yes but it won't be replicated as in SQL 2005 to Subscribers. Your replication will fail as result of datatype mismatch. You have to Reinitialize Subscription.

That was my thinking. My understanding is that no changes can be made to a column without dropping article. To drop article first must drop subscription. Am I right?
