The BaseType property exposes the system data type from which a user-defined data type has been derived.
object.BaseType [= value]
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list |
| value | Text string identifying a Microsoft® SQL Server™ system data type |
The BaseType property is only modifiable before the UserDefinedDatatype object has been added to the UserDefinedDatatypes collection of a Database object. After the object has been added to the collection and the user-defined data type has been created on the SQL Server installation, the property is read-only.

HRESULT GetBaseType(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetBaseType(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note 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 by using SysFreeString.
