Inquiry function structures are supplied by the application. These function calls return descriptive information.

 

Example

The following example shows how to retrieve all the index descriptors with one function call:

DBIResult   rslt;

hDBICur     hCursor;

CURProps    curProps;

pIDXDesc    pIdxArray;

// Open the table

rslt = DbiOpenTable(hDb, "Sample", szPARADOX, NULL, NULL, 0, dbiREADWRITE, dbiOPENSHARED, xltFIELD, TRUE, NULL, &hCursor);

if (rslt == DBIERR_NONE)

{

  // Get the properties for the cursor

  DbiGetCursorProps(hCursor, &curProps);

  // Allocate the buffer for the index descriptors

  pIdxArray = (pIDXDesc) malloc(sizeof(IDXDesc) * curProps.iIndexes);

  // Get the indexes

  rslt = DbiGetIndexDescs(hCursor, pIdxArray);

  if (rslt == DBIERR_NONE)

  {

    …

  }

  // Clean up

  free((pCHAR) pIdxArray);

  DbiCloseCursor(&hCursor);

}
