Summary

For the non–Visual Basic DBAs in the crowd, I hope that these explanations and code examples were easy for you to follow and that they motivated you to learn Visual Basic.

If you are unfamiliar with Visual Basic but quite comfortable with Transact SQL, the BCP example of using the OLE automation procedures and SQL-DMO provides you with an example you can learn from and use in your existing applications.

Using SQL-DMO, you can create powerful DBA tools that can be used to simplify your job!
