LogFile 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 LogFile property identifies the operating system file maintaining Microsoft SQL Server database transaction log records.

Syntax

object.LogFile [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string that names an operating system file

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write is the DistributionDatabase object is used to create a database used by replication for publication distribution. Read-only if the DistributionDatabase object references an existing replication distribution database.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetLogFile(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetLogFile(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

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 using SysFreeString.

Remarks

The LogFileproperty is a string of up to 260 characters.

Specify an operating system file by using the LogFile property. Specify drive and directory using the LogFolder property.
