The ProductName property is a Microsoft® SQL Server™ specific representation of an OLE DB provider name.
object.ProductName [ = value]
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list |
| value | String of up to 128 characters specifying an OLE DB provider product |
The ProductName property is implemented to support a short-cut method for creation of LinkedServer object-referenced, persisted OLE DB data source definitions. For example, a SQL Server installation can be linked by setting only two properties in a LinkedServer object: set the ProductName to SQL Server, then set the Name property to the name of the SQL Server installation to be linked.
String
Read/write
HRESULT GetProductName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetProductName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewVal);
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.
