CeCreateDatabaseEx (CEDB) (Windows CE 5.0)
This function creates a new database in the object store or in a mounted volume. This function is obsolete. Applications should call CeCreateDatabaseEx2 (CEDB) instead.
This function does not work with EDB databases. For more information on EDB, see EDB Functions.
A RAPI version of this function exists named CeCreateDatabaseEx (RAPI).
CEOID CeCreateDatabaseEx( PCEGUID pceguid,CEDBASEINFO* lpCEDBInfo);
Parameters
- pceguid
[in] Pointer to the CEGUID that contains the globally unique identifier of a mounted database volume or of the object store. Use CREATE_SYSTEMGUID (CEDB) to obtain the GUID of the object store. - lpCEDBInfo
[in] Pointer to the CEDBASEINFO (CEDB) 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 GetLastError. The following table lists possible values for GetLastError.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| ERROR_DISK_FULL | Indicates that the destination source does not contain enough space to create the new database. |
| ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER | Indicates that a parameter was invalid. |
| ERROR_DUP_NAME | Indicates that 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 (CEDB) function to change the sort order later.
A CEGUID and CEOID together uniquely identify a record or database in a database volume or in the object store.
