CeCreateDatabaseEx2 (CEDB) (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This function creates a new database in the object store or in a mounted database volume. Use the CREATE_SYSTEMGUID function to obtain the GUID of the object store.

This function does not work with EDB databases. For more information, see EDB Functions.

Syntax

CEOID CeCreateDatabaseEx2( 
  PCEGUID pguid, 
  CEDBASEINFOEX* pInfo
);

Parameters

• pguid
  [in] Pointer to the CEGUID that contains the globally unique identifierof a mounted database.

• pInfo
  [in] Pointer to the CEDBASEINFOEX (CEDB) structure that determines the name, type, sort orders, and characteristics of the database.

Return Value

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.

Value	Description
ERROR_DISK_FULL	Indicates that the destination source does not contain enough space to create the new database.
ERROR_DUP_NAME	Indicates that a database already exists with the specified name.
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Indicates that a parameter was invalid.

Remarks

Because sort orders increase the system resources needed to perform each insert and delete operation, keep the number of sort orders to a minimum. Use the CeSetDatabaseInfoEx2 (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.

Requirements

Header	windbase.h
Library	coredll.lib
Windows Embedded CE	Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later
