Syntax

object.SetIndexedColumnDESC(
ColumnName ,
Descending)

Parts

object

Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

ColumnName

String that specifies the column name

Descending

Boolean that specifies whether to sort a column in descending order

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT SetIndexedColumnDESC(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR ColumnName,
BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

By default, columns in an index are sorted in ascending order. Use the ColumnName parameter to specify a column on which to perform a descending sort. Set the Descending parameter to TRUE to specify that the column must be sorted in descending order. You must call SetIndexedColumnDESC once for each column to be sorted in descending order as part of the index.

Prior to using SetIndexedColumnDESC, use the IndexedColumns property to define the list of columns participating in the index. SetIndexedColumnDESC can only be specified before an index is created and cannot be used on an existing index.

Note  If an application calls SetIndexedColumnDESC 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.
