Examples
This example gets the number of columns in a result
set and allocates an array to hold the types of each column:
CRsltSet::CRsltSet(IPB_ResultSetAccessor* rsAccessor)
:m_lRefCount (0), d_rsAccessor(rsAccessor)
{
rsAccessor->AddRef();
// for each column
ULONG nNumColumns = d_rsAccessor->GetColumnCount();
d_arrColTypes = new USHORT[nNumColumns + 1];
for (ULONG nColumn=1; nColumn <= nNumColumns;
++nColumn)
{
// get the column type into the array
pbvalue_type type;
d_rsAccessor->GetColumnMetaData (nColumn,
NULL, &type, NULL);
d_arrColTypes[nColumn] = (USHORT)type;
}
}
