CreateForAttach 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 CreateForAttach property controls database file creation when the Database object is added to the Databases collection of a connected SQLServer object.

Remarks

If TRUE, the database is created from files specified in the FileGroups and LogFiles collections.

If FALSE, data files are created as directed by the FileGroups and LogFiles collections.

Creating databases from existing data files is constrained. For more information, see CREATE DATABASE (Transact-SQL).
