Remarks

In SMO, rules are represented by the Rule object. The rule is defined by the TextBody property, which is a text string that contains a condition expression that uses operators or predicates, such as IN, LIKE, or BETWEEN. A rule cannot reference columns or other database objects. Built-in functions that do not reference database objects can be included.
