FairCom DB API for C

ctdbSwitchContext

Force an ISAM context switch.

Declaration

CTDBRET ctdbSwitchContext(CTHANDLE Handle)

Description

Force a switch to the FairCom DB ISAM context indicated by the record handle. Each record handle has its own c-tree ISAM context id.

When most FairCom DB API record handling functions are called, they automatically perform a c-tree ISAM context switch. ctdbSwitchContext() may be useful before calling specific c-tree ISAM or low level calls to make sure the correct ISAM context is active before making those calls.

Handle is a record handle. The handle must be a record handle. No other type of FairCom DB API handle is acceptable.

Return

Value	Symbolic Constant	Explanation
0	CTDBRET_OK	Successful function.

See Appendix A "c-tree Plus Error Codes" in c-tree Plus Programmer's Reference Guide for a complete listing of valid c-tree Plus error values.

Example

/* force a context switch */

if (ctdbSwitchContext(hRecord) != CTDBRET_OK)

printf("ctdbSwitchContext failed\n");

/* call ResetRecord */

if (ResetRecord((COUNT)ctdbGetDatno(hRecord), SWTCURI))

printf("ResetRecord failed\n");
