Examples
The following example shows the creation of several SqlMetaData objects, which describe the column metadata of a record, and the creation of a SqlDataRecord. The column values of the SqlDataRecord are set and the SqlDataRecord is sent to the calling program using the SqlContext class.
// using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.Server;
[Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void CreateNewRecord()
{
// Variables.
SqlMetaData column1Info;
SqlMetaData column2Info;
SqlMetaData column3Info;
SqlDataRecord record;
// Create the column metadata.
column1Info = new SqlMetaData("Column1", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 12);
column2Info = new SqlMetaData("Column2", SqlDbType.Int);
column3Info = new SqlMetaData("Column3", SqlDbType.DateTime);
// Create a new record with the column metadata.
record = new SqlDataRecord(new SqlMetaData[] { column1Info,
column2Info,
column3Info });
// Set the record fields.
record.SetString(0, "Hello World!");
record.SetInt32(1, 42);
record.SetDateTime(2, DateTime.Now);
// Send the record to the calling program.
SqlContext.Pipe.Send(record);
}
Constructors
| SqlMetaData(String, SqlDbType, Boolean, Boolean, SortOrder, Int32) |
Initializes a new instance of the SqlMetaData class with the specified column name, and default server. This form of the constructor supports table-valued parameters by allowing you to specify if the column is unique in the table-valued parameter, the sort order for the column, and the ordinal of the sort column. |
| SqlMetaData(String, SqlDbType, Byte, Byte, Boolean, Boolean, SortOrder, Int32) |
Initializes a new instance of the SqlMetaData class with the specified column name, type, precision, scale, and server default. This form of the constructor supports table-valued parameters by allowing you to specify if the column is unique in the table-valued parameter, the sort order for the column, and the ordinal of the sort column. |
| SqlMetaData(String, SqlDbType, Byte, Byte) |
Initializes a new instance of the SqlMetaData class with the specified column name, type, precision, and scale. |
| SqlMetaData(String, SqlDbType, Int64, Boolean, Boolean, SortOrder, Int32) |
Initializes a new instance of the SqlMetaData class with the specified column name, type, maximum length, and server default.
