The id parameter specifies the ID of the table/procedure. The column parameter specifies the name of
the column/parameter. The property parameter specifies the data that should be returned for the
column or procedure parameter. The property parameter can be one of the following values:
❑ AllowsNull — Allows NULL values.
❑ IsComputed — The column is a computed column.
❑ IsCursorType — The procedure is of type CURSOR.
❑ IsFullTextIndexed — The column has been full-text indexed.
❑ IsIdentity — The column is an IDENTITY column.
❑ IsIdNotForRepl — The column checks for IDENTITY NOT FOR REPLICATION.
❑ IsOutParam — The procedure parameter is an output parameter.
❑ IsRowGuidCol — The column is a ROWGUIDCOL column.
❑ Precision — The precision for the data type of the column or parameter.
❑ Scale — The scale for the data type of the column or parameter.
❑ UseAnsiTrim — The ANSI padding setting was ON when the table was created.
The return value from this function will be 1 for True, 0 for False, and NULL if the input was not
valid — except for Precision (where the precision for the data type will be returned) and Scale
(where the scale will be returned).
DATABASEPROPERTY
The DATABASEPROPERTY function returns the setting for the specified database and property name. The
syntax is as follows:
DATABASEPROPERTY(‘’, ‘’)

❑ IsAnsiNullsEnabled — All comparisons made with a NULL cannot be evaluated.
❑ IsAnsiWarningsEnabled — Warning messages are issued when standard error conditions
occur.
❑ IsAutoClose — The database frees resources after the last user has exited.
❑ IsAutoShrink — Database files can be shrunk automatically and periodically.
