OLE Automation Sample Script

  • Article

Applies to: SQL Server

This article contains an example of a Transact-SQL statement batch that uses the OLE Automation stored procedures to create and use a SQL-DMO SQLServer object in the local instance of the Database Engine. Parts of the code are used as examples in the reference articles for the OLE Automation system stored procedures.
