Data Types (Extended Stored Procedure API)

Important

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible. Use CLR integration instead.

To use the Extended Stored Procedure API data types, include the Srv.h header file in your program.
