dbtabbrowse
Determines whether the specified table can be updated with the DB-Library browse-mode facilities.
Syntax
BOOL dbtabbrowse (
PDBPROCESS dbproc,
INT tabnum );
Arguments
dbproc
Is the DBPROCESS structure that is the handle for a particular workstation or Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 process. It contains all the information that DB-Library uses to manage communications and data between the workstation and SQL Server.
tabnum
Is the number of the table as specified in the SELECT statement's FROM clause. Table numbers start at 1.
Returns
TRUE or FALSE. If you drop the unique index of a table while browsing, dbtabbrowse continues to return TRUE.
Remarks
The dbtabbrowse function is one of the DB-Library browse-mode functions. For a detailed discussion of browse mode, see Browse Mode in Programming DB-Library for C.
The dbtabbrowse function provides a way to identify tables that can be browsed. It is useful for examining ad hoc queries prior to performing browse-mode updates based on the queries. If the query has been hard-coded into the program, this function is unnecessary.
A table must have a unique index and a timestamp column before it can be browsed.
Call dbtabbrowse any time after calling dbresults.
