ColumnName 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 ColumnName property exposes a descriptive identifier for a column in the current result set of a QueryResults object.

Syntax

object
.ColumnName(
OrdinalColumn
)

Parts

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

• OrdinalColumn
  A long integer that specifies the column in the results by position

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read-only

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetColumnName(long nColumn,SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (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.

Remarks

ColumnName is an empty string for unnamed columns, such as the unqualified results of a Transact-SQL expression.

Applies To:

QueryResults Object
