Find Database by UID

ctdbFindDatabaseByUID() locates a database given the database UID and retrieves the database name and path. ctdbFindDatabaseByUID() requires a session or database handle. The following example shows how to implement a database connect procedure using the database UID instead of the database name.

/* Database Connect using UID */

CTDBRET ConnectByUID(CTHANDLE hDatabase, ULONG uid)

{

   TEXT dbName[MAX_NAME];

   TEXT dbPath[MAX_PATH];

   CTDBRET Retval;

   Retval = ctdbFindDatabaseByUID(hDatabase, uid, dbName, sizeof(dbName), Path,

            sizeof(dbPath));

   if (Retval == CTDBRET_OK)

   {

      Retval = ctdbConnect(hDatabase, dbName);

   }

   return Retval;

}
