Description

Component Integration Services only Allows the user to pass a SQL command buffer to a remote server.

Syntax

sp_passthru server, command, errcode, errmsg, rowcount
	[, arg1, arg2, ... argn]

Parameters

server

is the name of a remote server to which the SQL command buffer will be passed. The class of this server must be a supported, non-local server class.

command

is the SQL command buffer. It can hold up to 255 characters.

errcode

is the error code returned by the remote server, if any. If no error occurred at the remote server, the value returned is 0.

errmsg

is the error message returned by the remote server. It can hold up to 1024 characters. This parameter is set only if errcode is a nonzero number; otherwise NULL is returned.

rowcount

is the number of rows affected by the last command in the command buffer. If the command was an insert, delete, or update, this value represents the number of rows affected even though none were returned. If the last command was a query, this value represents the number of rows returned from the external server.

arg1argn
