DatabaseFileGroups 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 DatabaseFileGroups property identifies filegroups targeted by a backup or restore operation.
Syntax
object
.DatabaseFileGroups [=value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) multistring identifying one or more filegroups by name
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetDatabaseFileGroups(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDatabaseFileGroups(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note
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
Setting DatabaseFileGroups directs backup or restore processing to include only those filegroups listed.
Set DatabaseFileGroups to an empty string to reset processing and target the entire database.
