Each row in the pri_articles table identifies a single primary article.

When you create a primary article, a row is added to the pri_articles table for the new article.

When you create or delete a replicate article, the row that identifies the primary article subscribed to by that replicate article is updated in the pri_articles table to change the value of the rarts_count column.

When you delete a primary article, the row that identifies that primary article is deleted from the pri_articles table.
