The RelocateFiles property specifies database logical file names and operating system physical file names used to redirect database storage when a Microsoft® SQL Server™ database is restored to a new physical location.
object.RelocateFiles [= value]
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list |
| value | SQL-DMO multistring built as specified in Remarks |
When creating a string directing physical file relocation, build the string as the current logical name of the database file, then the new operating system file name. Repeat pairings of logical name and physical name until all files implementing the database are specified. For example:
oBackup.RelocateFiles = "[Northwind1]" + "," + "[D:\Data\North_1.mdf]" _
+ "," + "[Northwind2]" + "," + "[D:\Data\North_2.mdf]"
String
Read/write
HRESULT GetRelocateFiles(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetRelocateFiles(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.
