HRESULT GetCatalog(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetCatalog(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewVal);
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.
Remarks
The Catalog property provides a value for the OLE DB DBPROP_INIT_CATALOG initialization property when a connection is attempted to the data source referenced by the LinkedServer object. For more information about values for the Catalog property, see the OLE DB provider documentation.
