Creating a Database object

A valid database object is required to perform any database operation. You need to pass a valid CTSession object to the CTDatabase constructor.

// create a CTDatabase object

CTDatabase ADatabase(ASession);

try

{

// connect to database “MyDatabase”

ADatabase.Connect(“MyDatabase”);

}

catch (CTException &err)

{

printf(“Database connect failed with error %d\n”, err.GetErrorCode);

}

If you create a dynamic CTDatabase object with the new operator, you are required to destroy the object with the delete operator.

// create a dynamic CTDatabase object

CTDatabase* pDatabase = new CTDatabase(ASession);

if (!pDatabase)

{

   printf(“CTDatabase creating failed\n”);

}  

... other operations ..

// destroy the CTDatabase object

delete pDatabase;

If you destroy an active database handle, all open tables associated with the database will be closed and the database will be disconnected from the session.
