Posted By: Sarita Patel     Category: SQL Server     Views: 2674

This article explains about @@Options function in sql server with examples.

@@OPTIONS function returns information about current set options. Set options can be modified as a whole by using sp_configure user options configuration option. Each user has an @@OPTIONS function that represents the configurations. When user does first time login, it has been assigned a default configuration set by the system administrator. You can change language and query-processing options by using the SET statement.


Syntax of @@OPTIONS Function :

Return type of @@OPTIONS function is int.



Examples of @@OPTIONS Function :

Example 1 : Use of @@OPTIONS function in select clause

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF

IF @@OPTIONS & 256 > 0
PRINT 'Single quotation and double quotation marks are differentiated, when evaluating an expression.'
ELSE
