FairCom DB API for C

ctdbCreateMRTTable

ctdbCreateMRTTable() creates a new MRTTable based on a host table.

Declaration

CTDBRET ctdbCreateMRTTable (CTHANDLE Handle, pTEXT VTableName, pTEXT ParentName, CTCREATE_MODE CreateMode, pTEXT filter);

Description

Handle: MRTTable handle
VtableName: name of the MRTTable
ParentName: name of the host (or parent) table
CreateMode: virtual table create mode
filter: the filter to apply to the host table to identify the record belonging to this MRTTable

Once created, an MRTTable behaves as a regular FairCom DB API table.

Limitations: At this time it is not possible to use record filters and the ctdbAlterTable() function on a MRTTable Table.

Return Values

Value	Symbolic Constant	Description
4130	CTDBRET_NOMOREVTRES	No more RESOURCE for VTable available on parent table.
4131	CTDBRET_VTABLEEXIST	The table has VTable defined in the dictionary.
4132	CTDBRET_VTABLETYPE	VTable type mismatch between dictionary and resource.

Example

CTHANDLE pField0, pField1, pField2, pField3, pField4;

pField0 = ctdbAddField(hTableCustOrdr, "rectype", CT_FSTRING, 1);

pField1 = ctdbAddField(hTableCustOrdr, "co_ordrnumb", CT_FSTRING, 4);

pField2 = ctdbAddField(hTableCustOrdr, "co_ordrdate", CT_DATE, 4);

pField3 = ctdbAddField(hTableCustOrdr, "co_promdate", CT_DATE, 4);

pField4 = ctdbAddField(hTableCustOrdr, "co_custnumb", CT_FSTRING, 4);

if (!pField0 || !pField1 || !pField2 || !pField3 || !pField4)
