Find Database by UID

The overloaded method CTSession::FindDatabase() locates a database given the database UID and retrieves the database name and path. The following example shows how to implement a database connect procedure using the database UID instead of the database name.

// Database Connect using UID

CTDatabase* ConnectByUID(CTSession &ASession, ULONG uid)

{

   CTString dbName;

   CTString dbPath;

   CTDatabase *Retval = NULL;

   if (ASession.FindDatabase(uid, dbName, dbPath)

   {

      Retval = new CTDatabase(ASession);

      if (Retval)

      {

         Retval->Connect(dbName);

      }

      else

      {

         throw CTException(CTDBRET_NOMEMORY);

      }

   }

   else

   {

      throw CTException(FNOP_ERR);

   }

   return Retval;

}
