Function Documentation

rdm_cursorGetRowsAtPosition()

RDM_RETCODE rdm_cursorGetRowsAtPosition ( RDM_CURSOR sourceCursor,
RDM_CURSOR * pCursor
)

#include <rdmcursorapi.h>

Associate an RDM_CURSOR with rows from a table ordered by rowid and positioned to the same row as the source cursor.

This function associates the RDM_CURSOR pointed to by pCursor with a row set ordered by rowid. The row set for the RDM_CURSOR contains all of the rows for the table of sourceCursor. The RDM_CURSOR will be initially positioned to the same row as sourceCursor.

Cursor Association Rules
  • If pCursor points to NULL then a new cursor will be allocated and associated with the same RDM_DB as sourceCursor.
  • If pCursor points to an RDM_CURSOR that has been allocated, but not associated with an RDM_DB then the RDM_CURSOR will be associated with the same RDM_DB as sourceCursor.
  • If pCursor points to an RDM_CURSOR that is associated with an RDM_DB other than the RDM_DB associated with sourceCursor then an error will be returned.
  • If pCursor points to a RDM_CURSOR that has been previously used and held a set of rows from a different table then memory may need to be reallocated to handle the new set of rows. If you are interacting with more than one set of tables it can be more efficient to use multiple RDM_CURSOR than to share a single RDM_CURSOR.
Locking Requirements
Read lock on the table associated with the sourceCursor
Return values
sOKAY Normal, successful return.
eNOSTARTREAD A read operation was attempted when no rdm_dbStartSnapshot(), rdm_dbStartRead(), or rdm_dbStartUpdate() is active.
eNOTLOCKED Attempt to access a table for reading or update without proper locks.
eDBNOTOPEN Database not open.
eNOCURRENTROW The cursor is not positioned to a valid row.
eOWNERDELETED The owner row for a set cursor has been deleted.
eSINGLETONDELETED The row for a singleton cursor has been deleted.
