Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies how quoted identifies are handled for the table.
If True, quoted identifiers are used to allow characters not usually allowed by the Transact-SQL syntax rules.
If False (default), quoted identifiers are used to specify Transact-SQL reserved keywords.

Implements

ITableOptions.QuotedIdentifierStatus

Examples

The following code example gets and displays the quoted identifier status of each table in the AdventureWorks2008R2 database.

C#

Server srv = new Server("(local)");
Database db = srv.Databases["AdventureWorks2008R2"];

foreach (Table tb in db.Tables) 
{
   if (tb.QuotedIdentifierStatus == true)
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Quoted identifiers in " + tb.Name + " may be used to allow characters that are normally prohibited by 
                         SQL syntax rules.");
   }
   else
   {
      Console.WriteLine("Quoted identifiers in " + tb.Name + " can only be used to specify reserved SQL keywords.");
   }
}

Powershell

$srv = new-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$db = $srv.Databases.Item("AdventureWorks2008R2")

Foreach ($tb in $db.Tables) 
{
   if ($tb.QuotedIdentifierStatus -eq $TRUE)
   {
      Write-Host "Quoted identifiers in" $tb.Name "may be used to allow characters that are normally prohibted by SQL syntax 
                  rules."
   }
   else
   {
   Write-Host "Quoted identifiers in" $tb.Name "can only be used to specify reserved SQL keywords."
   }
}
