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 ProductName property is a representation of an OLE DB provider name that is specific to Microsoft SQL Server.
Syntax
object
.ProductName [= value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A string with a maximum of 128 characters that specifies an OLE DB provider product
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetProductName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetProductName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewVal);
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
The ProductName property is implemented to support a shortcut method for creation of LinkedServer object-referenced, OLE DB data source definitions. For example, an instance of SQL Server can be linked by setting only two properties in a LinkedServer object. First, set the ProductName to SQL Server, and second, set the Name property to the name of an instance of SQL Server to be linked.
