Define() establishes specific data definitions. This involves defining columns/fields and creating the tables/files with optional indexes.
Below is the code for Define():
//
// Define()
//
// Open the table, if it exists. Otherwise create and open the table
//
static void Define()
{
Console.WriteLine("DEFINE");
Create_CustomerMaster_Table();
}
//
// Create_CustomerMaster_Table()
//
// Open table CustomerMaster, if it exists. Otherwise create it
// along with its indexes and open it
//
static void Create_CustomerMaster_Table()
{
bool do_create = false;
// define table CustomerMaster
Console.WriteLine("\ttable CustomerMaster");
try
{
MyTable.Open("custmast", OPEN_MODE.NORMAL_OPEN);
}
catch (CTException)
{
// table does not exist
do_create = true;
}
if (do_create)
{
try
{
// define table fields
CTField field1 = MyTable.AddField("cm_custnumb", FIELD_TYPE.FSTRING, 4);
MyTable.AddField("cm_custzipc", FIELD_TYPE.FSTRING, 9);

MyTable.AddField("cm_custcity", FIELD_TYPE.VSTRING, 47);
// define index
CTIndex index1 = MyTable.AddIndex("cm_custnumb_idx", KEY_TYPE.FIXED_INDEX, false, false);
index1.AddSegment(field1, SEG_MODE.SCHSEG_SEG);
// create table
Console.WriteLine("\tCreate table...");
MyTable.Create("custmast", CREATE_MODE.NORMAL_CREATE);

}
else

//
// this scenario arises out of the fact that this table was created in tutorial 1
// without indexes. The index is now created by the call to ctdbAlterTable
