Working with Sessions

The c-treeDB interface requires a session handle to perform any data structure initialization or manipulation. The following steps must be executed within a session before any database or table operations are attempted:

• Allocate a session handle by calling ctdbAllocSession()
• Logon to a c-tree session by calling ctdbLogon()
• Perform database and table operations
• Logout from a c-tree session by calling ctdbLogout()
• Release the allocated session handle by calling ctdbFreeSession()
