Text Property
The Text property exposes the Transact-SQL or other script that defines the referenced Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 database object.
Applies To
| Check Object | StoredProcedure Object |
| Default Object | Trigger Object |
| DRIDefault Object | UserDefinedFunction Object |
| Rule Object | View Object |
Syntax
object.Text [= value]
Parts
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value
String that satisfies the constraints on definition text for the referenced object
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write when using a SQL-DMO object to create a SQL Server database object. Read-only when a SQL-DMO object references an existing database object.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetText(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetText(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
Constraints apply to strings used to set the Text property. For example, the Text property of a Check object contains an expression that evaluates to TRUE or FALSE. For a Trigger object, the Text property contains a Transact-SQL statement that creates a trigger when executed. For more information, see documentation for the applicable SQL-DMO object.
