Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT IsDetachedPrimaryFile(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR MDFName,
LPBOOL pRetVal);

Remarks

Prior to calling IsDetachedPrimaryFile, an application should call the ListDetachedDBFiles property to retrieve a complete list of detached database files or ListDetachedLogFiles property to retrieve a complete list of detached log files. The application can then call IsDetachedPrimaryFile to determine which of the files is the primary file.

Note  If an application calls IsDetachedPrimaryFile on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
