Remarks

The Names collection is implemented for the Parameters property of the Configuration object, and for the KeyColumns and ReferencedColumns properties of the Key object. For more information about using the Names collection in Microsoft® SQL Server™ administration, see Configuration Object and Key Object.

When using the Item method, the Names collection supports member identification using only ordinal reference syntax. For example:

Dim     strKeyColumnName as String
Dim     iColumn as Integer
For iColumn = 1 to oKey.KeyColumns.Count
    strKeyColumnName = oKey.KeyColumns(iColumn)
Next iColumn

When using the Remove method, the Names collection supports member identification using either name or ordinal reference syntax. For example:

oKey.KeyColumns.Remove("EmployeeID")

Or:

oKey.KeyColumns.Remove(1)
