Init

First we need to open a connection to a database by providing the c-treeACE Database Engine with a user name, password and the database name.

Below is the code for Initialize():

/*

 * Initialize()

 *

 * Perform the minimum requirement of logging onto the c-tree Server

 */

#ifdef PROTOTYPE

VOID Initialize(VOID)

#else

VOID Initialize()

#endif

{

   printf("INIT\n");

   /* allocate session handle */

   if ((hSession = ctdbAllocSession(CTSESSION_CTREE)) == NULL)

      Handle_Error("Initialize(): ctdbAllocSession()");

   hDatabase = hSession; /* database not used in this tutorial */

   /* connect to server */

   printf("\tLogon to server...\n");

   if (ctdbLogon(hSession, "FAIRCOMS", "", ""))

      Handle_Error("Initialize(): ctdbLogon()");

}
