Shutdown Method

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 Shutdown method stops a running Microsoft SQL Server service.

.Shutdown( [ Wait ] )

Parts

• object
  Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

• Wait
  Optional. TRUE or FALSE as described in Remarks.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT Shutdown(BOOL bWait = TRUE);

Remarks

When Wait is TRUE (default), SQL Server performs an orderly shutdown: disabling logins, waiting for transaction or stored procedure completion, and checkpointing open databases.

When Wait is FALSE, the SQL Server service performs an immediate shutdown.
