Gets a table definition.
struct resbuf*
ade_odtabledefn(
char* table);
Returns a table definition or NULL.
| table | Table name can be up to 25 characters long. Must be unique, contain no spaces, and start with an alphanumeric character. |
You must release the resbuf.
The table definition returned by ade_odtabledefn has the same format as the tab_defn argument in ade_oddefinetab. The entry for this function has source code examples.
The following sample populates a resbuf with object data table schema information using ade_odtabledefn(). The contents of the resbuf are displayed and the resbuf is released as required.
char* pszOdTable = "rirds";
struct resbuf* pOdTableDefRb = ade_odtabledefn(pszOdTable);
if(NULL != pOdTableDefRb) {
acutPrintf(
"\nThe following information was obtained about the \"%s\" table:"
, pszOdTable);
struct resbuf* rb = pOdTableDefRb;
while(NULL != rb) {
if (rb->restype == RTSTR) {
acutPrintf(
"\n\t\"%s\""
, rb->resval.rstring);
}
rb = rb->rbnext;
}
}
acutRelRb(pOdTableDefRb);
