tagBUFFERCOL Structure

Contains metadata that describes the data stored in a buffer column.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap (in Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Structure tagBUFFERCOL
'Usage
Dim instance As tagBUFFERCOL

public struct tagBUFFERCOL

public value class tagBUFFERCOL

[<SealedAttribute>]
type tagBUFFERCOL =  struct end

JScript suports the use of structures, but not the declaration of new ones.

The tagBUFFERCOL type exposes the following members.

Fields

	Name	Description
	DataType	Specifies the data type of the value contained in the column.
	lCodePage	Specifies the character set used to interpret the data in a buffer column.
	lLengthOffset	Indicates the number of bytes from the beginning of a buffer row to the end of the column data.
	lMaxLength	Indicates the maximum length of the data stored in a buffer column.
	lOffset	Indicates the number of bytes from the beginning of a buffer row to the beginning of the column data.
	lPrecision	Indicates the number of decimal places of precision contained in a buffer column.
	lScale	Indicates the number of decimal places contained in the buffer column.
	lStatusOffset	Indicates the length in bytes from the beginning of a buffer row to the status value of a column.

Remarks

The columns in an IDTSBuffer100 contain metadata about the column data. This information is represented by the tagBUFFERCOL structure. This structure is retrieved for an individual column by calling the GetColumnInfo method.

The values contained in the fields within the structure reflect the values contained in the IDTSOutputColumn100 that originally inserted the column into the data flow.

Note

The tagBUFFERCOL structure is also represented by the DTP_BUFFCOL and BufferColumn structures. The DTP_BUFFCOL structure is a C++ type definition. When writing managed code, you will use the BufferColumn structure.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
