CeDeleteDatabase
This function removes a database from the object store. This function is obsolete. Applications should call CeDeleteDatabaseEx instead.
A remote application interface (RAPI) version of this function exists, and it also named CeDeleteDatabase.
BOOL CeDeleteDatabase(
CEOID oidDbase);
Parameters
- oidDbase
[in] Object identifier of the database to be deleted.
Return Values
TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To get extended error information within a Windows CE–based program, call GetLastError. Possible values for GetLastError include the following:
- ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
A parameter was invalid. - ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION
Another thread has an open handle to the database.
Remarks
The CeDeleteDatabase function deletes a database, including all records in the database.
Note Earlier versions (2.12 and prior) of Windows CE assigned OIDs to objects in other file systems, such as the FAT file system. These OIDs were guaranteed to be unique within a volume, but not across multiple volumes. Effective with version 3.0, only objects in the object store have valid, unique OIDs and the object store is the only volume that can return an object identifier.
