Removing a Column from a SQL Server Table

The SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider exposes the **ITableDefinition::DropColumn **function. This allows consumers to remove a column from a SQL Server table. 

Consumers specify the table name as a Unicode character string in the pwszNamemember of the uName union in the pTableID parameter. The eKindmember of pTableID must be DBKIND_NAME.

The consumer indicates a column name in the pwszNamemember of the uName union in the pColumnID parameter. The column name is a Unicode character string. The eKind member of pColumnID must be DBKIND_NAME.

Example

Code

DBID TableID;
DBID ColumnID;
HRESULT hr;

TableID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;
TableID.uName.pwszName = L"MyTableName";

ColumnID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;
ColumnID.uName.pwszName = L"MyColumnName";

hr = m_pITableDefinition->DropColumn(&TableID, &ColumnID);
