IsVariableLength Property

Cette fonctionnalité sera supprimée dans une prochaine version de Microsoft SQL Server. Évitez d'utiliser cette fonctionnalité dans de nouveaux travaux de développement et prévoyez de modifier les applications qui utilisent actuellement cette fonctionnalité.

The IsVariableLength property specifies data length representation handling for a data type.

Syntaxe

object.IsVariableLength

Parts

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

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read-only

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetIsVariableLength(LPBOOL pRetVal);

Notes

If TRUE, the data type represents strings that vary in length, such as those defined as varchar(4).

If FALSE, the data type does not represent strings that vary in length, such as those defined as char(4).

Variability in string representation is easily visible in client software. For example, the string AK retrieved from a column defined as varchar(4) is returned to a client as two characters. If retrieved from a column defined as char(4), the string is padded using a space character so that four characters are returned.
