SetIndexedColumnDESC 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 SetIndexedColumnDESC method specifies a column to sort in descending order as part of an index.
Syntax
object
.SetIndexedColumnDESC(
ColumnName
,
Descending
)
Parts
- object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
- ColumnName
String that specifies the column name.
- Descending
Boolean that specifies whether to sort a column in descending order.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT SetIndexedColumnDESC(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR ColumnName,
BOOL NewValue);
Remarks
By default, columns in an index are sorted in ascending order. Use the ColumnName parameter to specify a column on which to perform a descending sort. Set the Descending parameter to TRUE to specify that the column must be sorted in descending order. You must call SetIndexedColumnDESC once for each column to be sorted in descending order as part of the index.
Prior to using SetIndexedColumnDESC, use the IndexedColumns property to define the list of columns participating in the index. SetIndexedColumnDESC can only be specified before an index is created and cannot be used on an existing index.
Note
If an application calls SetIndexedColumnDESC 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.
