Name 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 Name property is a character string identifying a Microsoft SQL Server database, SQL Server Agent, or a replication object.

Syntax

object
.Name [= value]

Parts

• object
  An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

• value
  A string

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (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

For restrictions on modifiability and content of the Nameproperty, see the documentation for the applicable object.
