Alias Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The Alias property identifies an alternate name for a Microsoft SQL Server language.
Syntax
object.Alias
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read-only
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetAlias(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (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.
Remarks
For localized versions of SQL Server, the Alias property is an English name for the language record. For all other versions, Alias is the localized language name.
