How to create an OLE Automation object (Transact-SQL)

To create an OLE Automation object

1. Call sp_OACreate to create the object.
2. Use the object.
   • Call sp_OAGetProperty to get a property value.
   • Call sp_OASetProperty to set a property to a new value.
   • Call sp_OAMethod to call a method.
   • Call sp_OAGetErrorInfo to get the most recent error information.
3. Call sp_OADestroy to destroy the object.

Note All of these steps must be performed within a single Transact-SQL statement batch. All created OLE objects are destroyed automatically at the end of each statement batch.
