OLE Automation Sample Script

This topic contains an example of a Transact-SQL statement batch that uses the OLE Automation stored procedures to create and use an SQL-DMO SQLServer object in the local instance of the Database Engine. Parts of the code are used as examples in the reference topics for the OLE Automation system stored procedures.
