ODPI-C Rowid Functions¶
Rowid handles are used to represent the unique identifier of a row in the
database. They cannot be created or set directly but are created implicitly
when a variable of type DPI_ORACLE_TYPE_ROWID is created. They are destroyed
when the last reference is released by a call to the function
dpiRowid_release()
.
-
int dpiRowid_addRef(dpiRowid *rowid)¶
Adds a reference to the rowid. This is intended for situations where a reference to the rowid needs to be maintained independently of the reference returned when the rowid was created.
The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.
rowid [IN] – the rowid to which a reference is to be added. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
-
int dpiRowid_getStringValue(dpiRowid *rowid, const char **value, uint32_t *valueLength)¶
Returns the sting (base64) representation of the rowid.
The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.
rowid [IN] – the rowid from which the string representation is to be returned. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
value [OUT] – a pointer to the value as a byte string in the encoding used for CHAR data, which will be populated upon successful completion of this function. The string returned will remain valid as long as a reference is held to the rowid.
valueLength [OUT] – a pointer to the length of the value parameter, in bytes, which will be populated upon successful completion of this function.
-
int dpiRowid_release(dpiRowid *rowid)¶
Releases a reference to the rowid. A count of the references to the rowid is maintained and when this count reaches zero, the memory associated with the rowid is freed.
The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.
rowid [IN] – the rowid from which a reference is to be released. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
