CheckTables Method
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 CheckTables method tests the integrity of database pages implementing storage for all tables and indexes defined on the tables of the referenced database.
Syntax
object
.CheckTables( [ RepairType ] )as String
Parts
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.RepairType
Optionally specifies a database repair action.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT CheckTables(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pResult
SQLDMO_DBCC_REPAIR_TYPE lType = SQLDMORepair_None);
Returns
A string that contains detailed status and error information. For errors with severity 11 or greater, the string is returned as a trappable error in the Err object in Visual Basic.
Remarks
The database referenced by the SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) object must be in single-user mode when using the RepairType argument of the CheckTables method to perform database repair. To set single-user mode on a database using SQL-DMO, use the SingleUser property of the DBOption object.
The CheckTables method is implemented using the Transact-SQL DBCC CHECKDB statement. The return value of the CheckTables method is a string representation of the error messages returned by DBCC CHECKDB.
Note
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.
