Members
Member Description
version DBTools version number.
connectparms

Parameters needed to connect to the database. They take the form of connection strings, such as the following:

"UID=DBA;PWD=sql;DBF=samples-dir\demo.db"

The database server would be started by the connection string START parameter. For example:

"START=d:\sqlany11\bin32\dbeng11.exe"

A full example connection string including the START parameter:

"UID=DBA;PWD=sql;DBF=samples-dir\demo.db;START=d:\sqlany11\bin32\dbeng11.exe"

For a list of connection parameters, see Connection parameters.

msgqueuertn

Function called by DBMLSync when it wants to sleep. The parameter specifies the sleep period in milliseconds. The function should return the following, as defined in dllapi.h.

  • MSGQ_SLEEP_THROUGH indicates that the routine slept for the requested number of milliseconds. In most cases this is the value you should return.

  • MSGQ_SHUTDOWN_REQUESTED indicates that you would like the synchronization to terminate as soon as possible.

  • MSGQ_SYNC_REQUESTED indicates that the routine slept for less than the requested number of milliseconds and that the next synchronization should begin immediately if a synchronization is not currently in progress.
