GenerateSQL Method (Table, UserDefinedDatatype)
The GenerateSQL method returns a string that contains a Transact-SQL command batch used to create the Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 database object defined by the properties of the SQL-DMO object used.
Applies To
| Table Object | UserDefinedDatatype Object |
Syntax
object.GenerateSQL( Database ) as String
Parts
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
Database
Expression that evaluates to a SQL-DMO Database object
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GenerateSQL(
LPSQLDMODATABASE pDB,
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
Remarks
The GenerateSQL method generates a Transact-SQL batch that creates a database object. The method fails if the SQL-DMO object used references an existing SQL Server database object. Use the Script method of the Table or UserDefinedDatatype objects to create a Transact-SQL command batch defining an existing table or user-defined data type.
