ExportWideChar Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The ExportWideChar property controls character set used in the data file when a data file is created using the ExportData method of the Table and Viewobject.

Syntax

object
.ExportWideChar [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    TRUE or FALSE

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetExportWideChar(LPBOOL pRetVal);
HRESULT SetExportWideChar(BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

If TRUE, the data file is created as a Unicode text file.

If FALSE, the data file is created as a multibyte character text file.

The ExportWideChar property is evaluated only if the BulkCopy object is used as an argument to the ExportData method, and the bulk-copy operation specifies a character format target file (the DataFileType property of the BulkCopy object is SQLDMODataFile_CommaDelimitedChar, SQLDMODataFile_SpecialDelimitedChar, or SQLDMODataFile_TabDelimitedChar).
