Use6xCompatible Property (SQL-DMO)

The Use6xCompatible property controls interpretation of Microsoft® SQL Server™ bulk copy native format data files.

Applies To

Syntax

object.Use6xCompatible [= value]

Part	Description
object	Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value	True or False

Remarks

A SQL Server bulk copy operation either creates or reads from a data file. SQL Server bulk copy data files are created in either native (proprietary) or character format. SQL Server bulk copy native data file format has changed for SQL Server version 7.0. The user must direct version-dependent handling of source files when processing native format files created by an earlier version of SQL Server.

If True, a bulk copy operation interprets file data based on the pre-SQL Server 7.0 format for native data files.

If False, default, a bulk copy operation interprets file data based on the SQL Server 7.0 format.
