CeCreateDatabaseEx (RAPI) (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

  • Article

1/6/2010

This function creates a new database in the object store or in amounted volume on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based remote.

Syntax

CEOID CeCreateDatabaseEx( 
  PCEGUID pceguid, 
  CEDBASEINFO * lpCEDBInfo 
);

Parameters

  • pceguid
    [in] Pointer to the CEGUID that contains the globally unique identifierof a mounted database volume.
  • lpCEDBInfo
    [in] Pointer to the CEDBASEINFO structure that determines the name, type, sort orders, and characteristics of the database.

Return Values

The object identifier of the newly created database indicates success. NULL indicates failure. To get extended error information, call CeGetLastError or CeRapiGetError. Possible values for CeGetLastError include the following:

  • ERROR_DISK_FULL
    The destination source does not contain enough space to create the new database.
  • ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
    A parameter was invalid.
  • ERROR_DUP_NAME
    A database already exists with the specified name.

Remarks

Because sort orders increase the system resources needed to perform each insert and delete operation, you should keep the number of sort orders to a minimum. Use the CeSetDatabaseInfoEx function to change the sort order later.

Note

Only objects in the object store have valid object identifiers.

Do not create a database name that end with a backslash character "\".

Requirements

Header rapi.h
Library rapi.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 3.0 and later
