BindToDatatype 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 BindToDatatype method enables a default or rule on the user-defined data type specified.

Syntax

object.BindToDatatype(DatatypeName, [ FutureOnly ] )

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

  • DatatypeName
    String specifying an existing user-defined data type by name.

  • FutureOnly
    When TRUE, binding does not cause a check of columns existing and defined using the data type. When FALSE (default), existing values are checked for agreement with the rule.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT BindToDatatype(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR DatatypeName,
BOOL bFutureOnly = FALSE);
