DropDestObjectsFirst Property

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 DropDestObjectsFirst property manipulates Microsoft SQL Server database object copying.

Syntax

object.DropDestObjectsFirst [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • Value
    TRUE or FALSE

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetDropDestObjectsFirst(LPBOOL pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDropDestObjectsFirst(BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

If TRUE, the transfer attempts to drop a database object from the target database before copying the object from the source database.

If FALSE, the transfer copies database objects.

Note

The value of the DropDestObjectsFirst property applies only if database objects are copied in the transfer. To copy database objects, the CopySchema property value must be TRUE.
