SQL Namespace API
The SQL Namespace (SQL-NS) application programming interface (API) is a set of objects that encapsulate the SQL Server Enterprise Manager user interface. SQL-NS allows applications written in languages that support Automation or COM to include parts of the SQL Server Enterprise Manager user interface in their own user interface.
Using SQL-NS, an application can incorporate the following SQL Server Enterprise Manager elements into its user interface:
- Wizards
- Dialog boxes (including property dialog boxes)
When an application uses the SQL-NS objects, SQL Server Enterprise Manager must be installed on any client that attempts to run the SQL-NS application.
