Upon set up of a replication, a couple of tables gets created
inside the distribution database.

Is there a way to store these tables in a different place, for
example in a separate database?

Background: I have to write a routine that copies the same database
into another one, but I do not want to copy these replication tables
together with the actual data.

Thanks
Daniel

You can name that database whatever you want. Drop your distributor and then set it up again.

I don't see why you'd want to do this though. These aren't your tables in there. These tables are for replication purposes only.
