Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetLocation(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetLocation(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
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 Location property provides a value for the OLE DB initialization property DBPROP_INIT_LOCATION. Initialization properties are set for the provider when an attempt is made to connect to the OLE DB data source referenced by the LinkedServer object. For more information about values for the Location property, see the OLE DB provider documentation.
