RecoveryModel Property

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 RecoveryModel property specifies the recovery model for a database.

Syntax

Parts

  • object

Remarks

Microsoft SQL Server provides the Simple, Bulk-Logged, and Full Recovery models to simplify recovery planning, to simplify backup and recovery procedures, and to clarify tradeoffs between system operational requirements. An application can use the RecoveryModel property to specify which recovery model to use.

Note

If an application calls RecoveryModel on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.

Applies To:

DBOption2 Object
