Creating a Table object

A valid table object is required before most table operations can take place. You need to pass a valid CTDatabase object to the CTTable constructor.

// create a CTTable object

CTTable ATable(ADatabase);

try

{

// open table “MyTable”

ATable.Open(“MyTable”, CTOPEN_NORMAL);

}

catch (CTException &err)

{

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

}

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

// create a dynamic CTTable object

CTTable* pTable = new CTTable(ADatabase);

if (!pTable)

{

   printf(“CTTable creation failed\n”);

}  

... other operations ..

// destroy the CTTable object

delete pTable;

If you destroy an active table object, all record objects associated with the table will be reset and the table closed before the object is destroyed.
