Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GenerateSQL(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Returns
A Transact-SQL command batch as a string

The GenerateSQL method generates a Transact-SQL batch that creates a database. The method fails if the Database object used references an existing SQL Server database. Use the Script method of the Database object to create a Transact-SQL command batch defining an existing database.
