DataFilePath 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 DataFilePath property indicates the target or source for a Microsoft SQL Server bulk-copy operation.

Syntax

object
.DataFilePath [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
  • value
    A string that specifies an operating system file

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetDataFilePath(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDataFilePath(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.

Remarks

The operating system file specified by the DataFilePath property is the destination for the data copy performed by the ExportData method of Table and View objects. It is the source file for the ImportData method of Table objects.
