This function creates a new database in the object store or in a mounted database volume. Use the CREATE_SYSTEMGUID function to obtain the GUID of the object store.

Syntax

CEOID CeCreateDatabaseEx2( 
  PCEGUID pguid, 
  CEDBASEINFOEX* pInfo
);

Parameters

  • pguid
    [in] Pointer to the CEGUID that contains the globally unique identifierof a mounted database.
  • pInfo
    [in] Pointer to the CEDBASEINFOEX [CEDB] structure that determines the name, type, sort orders, and characteristics of the database.

Return Value

The object identifier of the newly created database indicates success. NULL indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. The following table lists possible values.

Value

Description

ERROR_DISK_FULL

Indicates that the destination source does not contain enough space to create the new database.

ERROR_DUP_NAME

Indicates that a database already exists with the specified name.

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

Indicates that a parameter was invalid.

Remarks

Because sort orders increase the system resources needed to perform each insert and delete operation, keep the number of sort orders to a minimum. Use the CeSetDatabaseInfoEx2 (CEDB) function to change the sort order later.

A CEGUID and CEOID together uniquely identify a record or database in a database volume or in the object store.
