BindRule Method
The BindRule method implements Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 rule binding and unbinding for columns and user-defined data types.
Applies To
| Column Object | UserDefinedDatatype Object |
Syntax
object.BindRule( RuleOwner , RuleName , Bind )
Parts

Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT BindRule(SQLDMO_LPCSTR RuleOwner,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR RuleName, BOOL Bind);
Settings
When Bind is TRUE, the rule named is bound to the column or user-defined data type referenced.
When Bind is FALSE, any rule is unbound from the referenced column or user-defined data type. The RuleOwner and RuleName properties are ignored.
Remarks
The BindRule method of the Column or UserDefinedDatatype objects, and the BindToColumn and BindToDatatype methods of the Rule object, associate a SQL Server rule with a user-defined data type or column.
The BindDefault method does not cause a check of existing values when a new rule is indicated for a column or user-defined data type.
