It indeed seems to be that.
My initial thought of "
will be disallowed on those tables" was "on the subscriber side". After all, why have a publication be of any effect if there's nobody subscribing to it.
But it appears the publication influences behavior, regardless of there being a subscriber, which feels counter-intuitive to me.
Thanks for stepping me through it.
