AddObjectByName 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 AddObjectByName method appends the database object named to the list of those objects copied when the Transfer method of the Database object is used to copy database schema or data.

Syntax

object.AddObjectByName(Object , ObjectType, [ Owner ] )

Parts

  • ObjectType

Remarks

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) implements copying of database schema and data by using the Transfer object and methods implemented on the Database object. The Transfer object is used to define what database objects are affected by the copy and how the copy is performed. Use the AddObject and AddObjectByName methods to add database objects to those affected by the copy.
