There are situations where an existing connection to c-tree already exists, via a call to a low level or ISAM c-tree initialization function, but FairCom DB API functionality is required without terminating the existing connection and starting a new FairCom DB API session. The following functions are available to permit a session handle to be attached and detached from an existing c-tree connection.
ctdbAttachSession() attaches an inactive session handle to an existing c-tree Plus or FairCom DB API session. Attached sessions have no information on server, user name or user password, and these values are set to NULL. If a ctdbLogout() is performed on an attached session handle, no session logout is performed and a ctdbDetachSession() call is executed instead.
There are three valid mode values:
mode Parameter |
Description |
CTATTACH_SESSION |
Attach to a FairCom DB API session whose session handle is pointed by parameter source. |
CTATTACH_CTREEID |
Attach to a FairCom DB session whose instance id string is pointed by parameter source. |
CTATTACH_CURRENT |
Attach to the current c-tree instance. Contents of parameter source is ignored, as the c-tree instance id is obtained by calling WCHCTREE() function. |
ctdbDetachSession() detaches a FairCom DB API session handle. The c-tree ISAM or low-level un-initialization is not called, but the session handle control structures are released and re-initialized. Handle is a session handle allocated by ctdbAllocSesison(). ctdbDetachSession() returns CTDBRET_OK on success.
Example
/* logon to c-tree using ISAM function */
INTISAMX(10, 32, 32, 10, (USERPRF_NTKEY | USERPRF_CLRCHK));
/* attach session to server handle */
if (ctdbAttachSession(hSession, NO) != CTDBRET_OK)
printf("ctdbAttachSession failed\n");
/*
... do something useful ...
*/
/* detach from session */
if (ctdbDetachSession(hSession) != CTDBRET_OK)
printf("ctdbDetachSession failed\n");
/* perform an ISAM logout */
CLISAM();
