ScriptDestinationObject 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 ScriptDestinationObject method generates a Transact-SQL command batch that can be used to create the replicated image of the database object published by the referenced replication article.

Syntax

object
.ScriptDestinationObject( [ ScriptType ] , [ ScriptFile ] , [ Script2Type ] )asString

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
  • ScriptType
    Optional. A long integer that overrides default scripting behavior as described in Settings.
  • ScriptFile
    Optional. A string that specifies an operating system file as an additional target for the generated Transact-SQL script.
  • Script2Type
    Optional. A long integer that overrides default scripting behavior as described in Settings.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT ScriptDestinationObject(
SQLDMO_SCRIPT_TYPE ScriptType = SQLDMOScript_Default,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR ScriptFilePath = NULL,
SQLDMO_LPBSTR ScriptText = NULL,
SQLDMO_SCRIPT2_TYPE Script2Type = SQLDMOScript2_Default);

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.

Settings

When setting the ScriptType argument specifying multiple behaviors, combine values using an OR logical operator. Use these values to set ScriptType.

Generate Transact-SQL to remove referenced component. Script tests for existence prior attempt to remove component.

SQLDMOScript_/IncludeHeaders

131072

Generated script is prefixed with a header containing date and time of generation and other descriptive information.

SQLDMOScript_/IncludeIfNotExists

4096

Transact-SQL creating a component is prefixed by a check for existence. When script is executed, component is created only when a copy of the named component does not exist.

Remarks

For SQL-DMO objects that publish database objects, SQL-DMO implements the ScriptDestinationObject method to generate command batches that re-create the objects published.

Note

SQL-DMO object scripting methods are fully compatible with an instance of SQL Server version 7.0. However, database compatibility level affects Transact-SQL command batch contents.

When scripting a database with a compatibility level of less than 7.0, or when scripting any of its objects, the resulting Transact-SQL command batch includes only keywords reserved by that level.

Transact-SQL command syntax is always compliant with an instance of SQL Server version 7.0. Where provided, you can use optional scripting arguments, such as SQLDMOScript2_NoFG to remove some syntax of an instance of SQL Server 7.0.
