OpenAccess SDK SQL Engine Core Functions API : Function Reference : dam_add_damobj_table
 

dam_add_damobj_table

This function is used to return schema information about tables. Add a table schema object with the specified values to the list of objects returned to the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine. Use the Unicode versions when using this function: OAIP_schemaW or OAIP_schemaExW.
All values should be set. Set Null values as follows:
*For char *, set the pointer to NULL.
*For integer, set the value to DAMOBJ_NOTSET.
Refer to "Schema Definition and Management" in OpenAccess SDK SQL Engine Programmer's Guide for details about each of the values to set.

Table 49. Parameters for dam_add_damobj_table
Parameter
Type
Description
IN
pMemTree
XM_Tree *
The memory tree on which to allocate memory for the new object.
pList
DAM_OBJ_LIST
The list on which the objects are to be added. It is passed in the call to the IP. The IP can pass the pSearchObj filter to have the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine filter the objects before adding to the list.
pSearchObj
DAM_OBJ
The object to use for filtering the objects added to the list. If you have taken care of only adding the objects that are requested, then set this to NULL. If you want the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine to do the filtering, then pass in the same value as passed into your IP.
table_qualifier
char *
The name of the database in which the table falls. Can be used to distribute tables into physically different databases. You would normally specify SCHEMA. If you want to expose this field as an empty value, then return 0 when OAIP_getInfo(SQL_MAX_QUALIFIER_NAME) is called and set this field value to NULL.
table_owner
char *
The owner of the table. You would normally set it to system or user.
SYSTEM - the table is managed by the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine.
OAUSER - the table is managed by the IP.
The value for this parameter and OA_COLUMNS must match.If you want to expose this field as an empty value, then return 0 when OAIP_getInfo(SQL_MAX_OWNER_NAME) is called and set this field value to NULL.
table_name
char *
The name of the table. This is how the end user refers to it.
table_type
char *
Affects how the table is handled. Set to:
SYSTEM TABLE - This table is managed by the CSV IP.
TABLE - The table is managed by the IP.
TABLE FUNCTION - The table function is managed by the IP.
table_path
char *
The full pathname of the file holding this table (if any). File name by itself defaults to the current directory. You can use the relative path specifier to define a file name relative to the schema path as defined in the DataSourceIPSchemaPath data source attribute.
Place a single period (.) to indicate the schema directory.
Place a forward or backward slash and follow by remainder of the name. For example: ./mem_db/test.dbf expands to {schema_path}/mem_db/test.dbf, where schema_path is as defined in the DataSourceIPPath data source attribute.
table_userdata
char *
A place for the IP to maintain IP-specific data. The IP can read it by using the dam_describeTable/dam_describeTableW function.
function_support
char *
A place for the IP to maintain what functionality it supports for the table (SELECT, INSERT and so on). The OpenAccess SDK SQL engine allows a user to perform only these operations for the table. This value is used if the GETSUPPORT function returns false for that capability.
The value in this field is specified as a hex number with the 0x convention. It is bitwise OR of the following bit masks:
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_SELECT - 0x01
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_INSERT - 0x02
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_UPDATE - 0x04
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_DELETE - 0x08
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE - 0x10
For example, set this field to '0x1F' to indicate full support. This number is the result of 0x01 | 0x02 | 0x04 | 0x08 | 0x10 where the '|' indicates bitwise OR.
remarks
char *
The description of the table.
RETURN
int
Function call status:
DAM_SUCCESS - values set.
DAM_FAILURE - values not set. One of the values was null when it cannot be.

Table 50. Parameters for dam_add_damobj_tableW
Parameter
Type
Description
IN
pMemTree
XM_Tree *
The memory tree on which to allocate memory for the new object.
pList
DAM_OBJ_LIST
The list on which the objects are to be added. It is passed in the call to the IP. The IP can pass the pSearchObj filter to have the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine filter the objects before adding to the list.
pSearchObj
DAM_OBJ
The object to use for filtering the objects added to the list. If you have taken care of only adding the objects that are requested, then set this to NULL. If you want the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine to do the filtering, then pass in the same value as passed into your IP.
table_qualifier
OAWCHAR *
The name of the database in which the table falls. Can be used to distribute tables into physically different databases. You would normally specify SCHEMA. If you want to expose this field as an empty value, then return a 0 when OAIP_getInfo(SQL_MAX_QUALIFIER_NAME) is called and set this field value to NULL.
table_owner
OAWCHAR *
The owner of the table. You would normally set it to system or user.
SYSTEM - the table is managed by the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine.
OAUSER - the table is managed by the IP.
In future releases, this entry will be used to control access rights to the table and will represent the actual user who owns the table. The entry in here and in the OA_COLUMNS must match.
If you want to expose this field as an empty value, then return 0 when OAIP_getInfo(SQL_MAX_OWNER_NAME) is called and set this field value to NULL.
table_name
OAWCHAR *
The name of the table. This is how the end user refers to it.
table_type
OAWCHAR *
Affects how the table is handled. Set to:
SYSTEM TABLE - This table is managed by the CSV IP.
TABLE - The table is managed by the IP.
table_path
OAWCHAR *
The full pathname of the file holding this table (if any). File name by itself defaults to the current directory. You can use the relative path specifier to define a file name relative to the schema path as defined in the DataSourceIPPath data source attribute.
Place a single period (.) to indicate the schema directory.
Place a forward or backward slash and follow by remainder of the name. For example: ./mem_db/test.dbf expands to {schema_path}/mem_db/test.dbf, where schema_path is as defined in the DataSourceIPPath data source attribute.
table_userdata
OAWCHAR *
A place for the IP to maintain IP-specific data. The IP can read it by using the dam_describeTable/dam_describeTableW function.
function_support
OAWCHAR *
A place for the IP to maintain what functionality it supports for the table (SELECT, INSERT and so on). The OpenAccess SDK SQL engine allows a user to perform only these operations for the table. This value is used if the GETSUPPORT function returns false for that capability.
The value in this field is specified as a hex number with the 0x convention. It is bitwise OR of the following bit masks:
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_SELECT - 0x01

IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_UPDATE - 0x04
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_DELETE - 0x08
IP_TABLE_SUPPORT_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE - 0x10
For example, set this field to '0x1F' to indicate full support. This number is the result of 0x01 | 0x02 | 0x04 | 0x08 | 0x10 where the '|' indicates bitwise OR.
remarks
