Syntax

object.CheckTables( [ RepairType ] ) as String

Parts

object

Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

RepairType

Optionally specifies a database repair action

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT CheckTables(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pResult
SQLDMO_DBCC_REPAIR_TYPE lType = SQLDMORepair_None);

Returns

A string that contains detailed status and error information. For errors with severity 11 or greater, the string is returned as a trappable error in the Err object in Visual Basic.

Remarks

The database referenced by the SQL-DMO object must be in single-user mode when using the RepairType argument of the CheckTables method to perform database repair. To set single-user mode on a database using SQL-DMO, use the SingleUser property of the DBOption object.

The CheckTables method is implemented using the Transact-SQL DBCC CHECKDB statement. The return value of the CheckTables method is a string representation of the error messages returned by DBCC CHECKDB.

Note  SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
