EnumGeneratedSubsetFilters 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 EnumGeneratedSubsetFilters method applies the filter clause specified to the article indicated, performs temporary filter generation, and then returns a QueryResults object that enumerates default filters generated by the test case specified.

Syntax

object
.EnumGeneratedSubsetFilters(
Article
,
SubsetFilterClause
)
as 
QueryResults

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
  • Article
    String that identifies an article in the publication by name.
  • SubsetFilterClause
    String of 1,002 characters or less that specifies a filter clause to apply to the article. Use an empty string to enable test generation of default filter clauses.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT EnumGeneratedSubsetFilters(
LPSQLDMOQUERYRESULTS* ppResults,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR szArticle,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR szSubsetFilterClause);

Returns

A QueryResults object that contains one result set defined by these columns.

Column Data type Description

article name

nvarchar(129)

Name of the article that contains the joined from table.

base table name

nvarchar(129)

Name of the table joined to in the filter clause.

base table owner

nvarchar(129)

Name of the owner of the table joined to in the filter clause.

filtername

nvarchar(129)

Name of the filter.

join article name

nvarchar(129)

Name of the article on which the filter is defined.

join_filterclause

nvarchar(1001)

Transact-SQL WHERE clause defining the filter.

join_filterid

integer

System-generated identifier.

join table name

nvarchar(129)

Name of the table joined from in the filter clause.

join table owner

nvarchar(129)

Name of the owner of the table joined from in the filter clause.

join_unique_key

integer

When 1, the filter depends on a unique or key value. When 0, the filter does not depend on a unique value.

Remarks

The EnumGeneratedSubsetFilters method explicitly begins a transaction prior to generating any filters, and then explicitly rolls back the transaction when the result set is generated. No permanent change is made to publication or article definition by the method.
