LogFolder 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 LogFolder property identifies the operating system directory storing the file that maintains Microsoft SQL Server database transaction log records.
Syntax
object
.LogFolder [=value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A string that identifies an existing operating system directory by name
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write if the DistributionDatabase object is used to create a database used by replication for publication distribution. Read-only if the DistributionDatabase object references an existing replication distribution database.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetLogFolder(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetLogFolder(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
The LogFolder property is a string of up to 260 characters.
Specify an operating system file using the LogFile property. Specify an operating system directory using the LogFolder property. Use drive-and-directory-based or universal naming convention (UNC) file naming. For example, the strings "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data" and "\\Seattle1\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data" are each valid for LogFolder.
