Transfer Object

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 Transfer object is used as a parameter for methods of the Database object. The Transfer object defines schema and data elements moved from one Microsoft SQL Server database to another.

SQL-DMO object model that shows the current object

Remarks

SQL Server provides a database object-scripting and data export and import mechanism to move schema and data from one database to another. SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) provides access to the database-transfer utility through the Transfer object and the ScriptTransfer and Transfer methods of the Database object.

With the Transfer object, you can:

  • Identify schema or data to move from one SQL Server database to another.

  • Identify the destination for schema and data transferred.

  • Monitor the progress of the ScriptTransfer and Transfer methods of the Database object.

  • Stop an in-progress database-to-database transfer operation.

Note

The Transfer object is compatible with instances of and SQL Server versions 7.0 and later. However, the Transfer2 object extends the functionality of the Transfer object for use with features that were introduced in SQL Server 2000.
