Remove Method (Collections)

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 Remove method drops the referenced database, agent, or replication object from an instance of Microsoft SQL Server connected to, and removes the SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) object from its containing collection.

Syntax

object.Remove(index)

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

  • index
    Long integer that indicates the ordinal location of the object within the collection or string indicating the name of the object.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT RemoveByOrd(long lOrdinal);
HRESULT RemoveByName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR szName);

Remarks

For more information about using the Remove method of a SQL-DMO collection, including information on privilege required, see documentation for the collection.

Note

Some collections support the Remove method using only the ordinal location of the object within the collection. For more information, see documentation for the collection.

If an application calls Remove with the MergeArticles collection after the initial snapshot is created, a new snapshot must be generated.
