DBReadOnly 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 DBReadOnly property returns TRUE if the current Microsoft SQL Server database is read-only.

Syntax

Object
.DBReadOnly

Parts

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

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read-only

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetDBReadOnly(LPBOOL pRetVal);

Remarks

If a database is in read-only mode, no objects can be added to, modified in, or removed from the database. This includes replication objects such as publications and subscriptions. A database should not be in read-only mode if a user expects replication to function properly.

Note

If an application calls DBReadOnly on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.
