AutoClose 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 AutoClose property exposes server behavior for databases not accessed by a user.

Syntax

object.AutoClose [=value]

Parts

• object
  An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

• value
  TRUE or FALSE

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetAutoClose(LPBOOL pRetVal);
HRESULT SetAutoClose(BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

If TRUE, the database is closed, and its resources are freed when no user connection accesses the database.

If FALSE, the server maintains the database in an open and ready state regardless of user activity.
