[!INCLUDE SQL Server]
[!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] supports the following system stored procedures that allow OLE Automation objects to be used within a [!INCLUDE tsql] batch. By default, [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] blocks access to OLE Automation stored procedures because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable access to OLE Automation procedures by using sp_configure. For more information, see Surface area configuration.
- sp_OACreate
- sp_OADestroy
- sp_OAGetErrorInfo
- sp_OAGetProperty
- sp_OAMethod
- sp_OASetProperty
- sp_OAStop
- Object hierarchy syntax (Transact-SQL)
Note
Don't directly or indirectly call Automation procedures from any SQL Server common language runtime (CLR) objects. Doing so can cause SQL Server to crash unexpectedly. Additionally, an error message that resembles the following is logged in the application event log:
