How to: View and Set Database Properties

  • Article

Databases and database objects, such as connections and views, have properties you can view and some you can set. You can view and set these properties using the DBGETPROP( ) and DBSETPROP( ) functions. For more information, see DBGETPROP( ) Function and DBSETPROP( ) Function.

However, you can set the Comment property for a database using the Visual FoxPro interface.

To add comments to the current database

  1. Open the database in the Database Designer.

  2. On the Database menu, click Properties to open the Database Properties dialog box.

  3. In the Comment box, type a comment for the database.

  4. When you are finished, click OK.
