GenerateCreationSQL Method

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 GenerateCreationSQL method returns a string that contains a Transact-SQL command batch used to create the Microsoft SQL Server index defined by the properties of the Index object used.

Syntax

object
.GenerateCreationSQL(
Table
)
as
String

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
  • Table
    Expression that evaluates to a SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) Table object.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GenerateCreationSQL(
LPSQLDMOTABLE TargetTable,
SQLDMO_LPBSTR Messages);

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.

Returns

A Transact-SQL command batch as a string.

Remarks

The Index object exposes the GenerateSQL and GenerateCreationSQL methods. Both methods generate a command batch that creates an index. However, the Transact-SQL command batch returned by the GenerateCreationSQL method prefixes an index creation statement with a statement conditionally dropping the index.

For more information about using the GenerateSQL and GenerateCreationSQL methods, see GenerateSQL Method (Index).
