This function unmounts a volume that was previously mounted with the CeMountDBVolEx (EDB) function.

Syntax

BOOL CeUnmountDBVol(
  PCEGUID pGuid
);

Parameters

  • pGuid
    Specifies the CEGUID structure of the mounted volume to be unmounted. You can mount a volume with CeMountDbVolEx.

Return Value

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. The following table shows possible values.

Return Value Description

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

The pGuid parameter is set to NULL.

ERROR_NOT_FOUND

The volume identified by pGuid is not currently mounted.

Remarks

This function is used to unmount a volume that was previously mounted with CeMountDbVolEx. A single database volume can be mounted more than once by different applications. Each time the volume is mounted, a reference count is incremented. A mounted database volume does not fully unmount and close until all applications that mounted the volume call this function. When a volume is unmounted, all cached data is flushed.

After calling this function, pGuid ** becomes invalid. As a result, if you call CeEnumDBVolumes (EDB) after unmounting the volume, the call fails.

Note

If there are open handles on databases within a volume, CeUnmountDbVol does not unmount the volume, but still returns TRUE.

Requirements
