This function sets various database parameters, including the name, type, and sort-order descriptions. CeSetDatabaseInfo (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
CeSetDatabaseInfo(
CEOID
oidDbase
,
CEDBASEINFO
*
pNewInfo
);

Parameters

oidDbase

[in] Object identifier of the database for which parameters are to be set.

pNewInfo

[in] Pointer to a CEDBASEINFOstructure that contains new parameter information for the database. The wNumRecordsmember of the structure is not used.

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_DISK_FULL

The object store is full and any size changes required could not be accommodated. Changing sort orders can change the size of the stored records, though not by much.

ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION

CeSetDatabaseInfo (RAPI)tried to remove a sort order that is being used by a currently open database.

Remarks

The CeSetDatabaseInfo (RAPI)function can be used to change the database parameters passed in while creating the database. Note that changing the sort order of the database can take several minutes. Before calling CeSetDatabaseInfo (RAPI), an application should warn the user that this operation can be lengthy.

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.
