Transfer2 Object

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 Transfer2 object is used as a parameter for methods of the Transfer2 object. The Transfer2 object defines schema and data elements moved from one Microsoft SQL Server database to another. The Transfer2 object extends the functionality of the Transfer object.

Remarks

The Transfer2 object extends the functionality of the Transfer object for use with features that were introduced in SQL Server 2000. It also inherits the properties and methods of the Transfer object. With the Transfer2 object, you can:

  • Create the source database during a transfer operation.

  • Transfer user-defined functions and column-level collation settings.

  • Specify whether character data translation is performed on a source or target server.

The methods and properties of the Transfer2 object may not be compatible with instances of SQL Server version 7.0 or earlier. For information about using the Transfer2 object in an application that also runs with an instance of SQL Server 7.0, refer to the Remarks section for specific methods and properties. For more information, see Programming Extended SQL-DMO Objects.
