This function removes a database from the object store. CeCreateDatabase (RAPI)is a remote application interface, which enables an application running on a desktop computer to make function calls on a Windows CE–based device.

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 RAPI program, call CeGetLastError. Possible values for CeGetLastErrorinclude the following:

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

A parameter was invalid.

ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION

Remarks

The CeDeleteDatabase (RAPI)function deletes a database, including all records in the database.

Note Earlier versions 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.
