5. Get file group name Filegroup_name

The Filegroup_name function is used to get the name of the filegroup (nvarchar data type).

Syntax structure:

Filegroup_name (filegroup_id)

The filegroup_id in the parameter is the filegroup identifier of the int data type, and to obtain the identifier, you can query the Sys.filegroups system view

return value:

nvarchar (128) file group name for data type

Example:

Filegroup_name (1)    -- output PRIMARY  

　　6. Get Filegroup attribute value Filegroupproperty

The Filegroupproperty function is used to obtain the specified attribute value for the specified filegroup.

Syntax structure:

Filegroupproperty (Filegroupname,property)

Parameter description:

Filegroup_name: Represents the filegroup name for which to return property information, the nvarchar (128) data type, which can be obtained through the sys.filegroups column.

Property: Represents the attribute to be returned with a data type of varchar (128).

List of common property attribute values

Property value	Description	return value
IsReadOnly	Whether the filegroup is read-only	Int, Null
Isuserdefinedeg	is a user-defined filegroup	Int, Null
IsDefault	Whether the default filegroup	Int, Null

Example:

Filegroupproperty ('PRIMARY','isreadonly-- output 0      

　　7. Get the file identifier file_id

The FILE_ID function is used to get the database files, including the log files and the identifiers of the data files. The file identifiers are used to uniquely differentiate in the database.

Syntax structure:

file_name)

The file_name in the parameter is the file name of the sysname type, which can be obtained by querying the Name column in the System view sys.database_files.

return value:

The file identifier for the smallint data type.

Example:

　　　　From Sys.database_files    -- Find out which database files are file_id ('NHibernate-  -  

　　8. Get the file name file_name

The file_name function is used to get the logical name of the current database (the nvarchar data type), which is the logical name instead of the physical name of the containing path.

Syntax structure:

　　file_name (file_id)

The file_id in the parameter is the database identifier of the INT data type. You can query the file_id column of the sys.master_files system view of the master database for the file ID of all databases on the server, or you can query the Sys.database_files system view of a database File_ ID column gets the ID of the file for the database.

return value:

nvarchar (128) The logical file name of the data type.

Example:

　　　　From Sys.database_files    -- Find out what database files are file_id ('NHibernate-- Output 1 Locate the NHibernate database file corresponding to the Fileid file_name (-- output NHibernate        

　　9. Get the file attribute value Fileproperty

The Fileproperty function is used to obtain the specified property value for the specified file.

Syntax structure:

Fileproperty (file_name, property)

 　　　　 SelectFileproperty (‘NHibernate‘,‘IsReadOnly‘)--Output 0SelectFileproperty (‘NHibernate‘,‘Isprimaryfile ") -- output 1 select fileproperty ( ' nhibernate  ",  islogfile ') -- output 0 select fileproperty ( ' nhibernate  ",  spaceused ') -- output 184        

　　10. Get the Database object identifier object_id

The OBJECT_ID function is used to obtain a unique ID (int data type) for a particular database, a specific data object under a specific schema, and an object's ID is used to differentiate the unique within the database.
