Size 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 Size property exposes the total size, in megabytes, of the Microsoft SQL Server component referenced.

Syntax

object.Size [= value]

Parts

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

  • value
    A long integer

Data Type

Long

Modifiable

Read-only for the Database, FileGroup, and TransactionLog objects.

The Size property is used to set the initial size of operating system files referenced by DBFile and LogFile objects. The property is read/write if a SQL-DMO object is used to create a new SQL Server database or log file. The property is read-only if a DBFile or LogFile object references an existing component.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetSize(LPLONG pRetVal);
HRESULT SetSize(long NewValue);
