ListAvailableSQLServers Method
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The ListAvailableSQLServers method returns a NameList object that enumerates network-visible instances of Microsoft SQL Server.
Syntax
object.ListAvailableSQLServers()asNameList
Parts
- object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT ListAvailableSQLServers(
LPSQLDMONAMELIST* ppServerNames);
Returns
A NameList object that enumerates instances of SQL Server.
Remarks
Nondefault instances of SQL Server are displayed in the form of SERVERNAME/INSTANCENAME.
Note
The ListAvailableSQLServers method maps to the ODBC SQLBrowseConnectfunction, which does not support connection pooling. Therefore, an application that enables connection pooling might encounter the error "Microsoft SQL-DMO (0x800A000E) [SQL-DMO] Not enough storage is available to complete this operation." when calling ListAvailableSQLServers.
