Purpose
Used for reading a data buffer and supports multiple input streams.
Syntax
int FNC_TblOpReadBufEx(FNC_TblOpHandle_t *handle, BYTE **bufptr, int *length)
- FNC_TblOpHandle_t *handle
- the handle associated with an input stream.
For details about the FNC_TblOpHandle_t structure, see Table Operator Data Structures.
- BYTE **bufptr
- a pointer to the location of the data buffer.
- int *length
- a pointer to the actual length in bytes of the buffer specified by bufptr.
Return Value
An integer that indicates TBLOP_SUCCESS, TBLOP_EOF (no more data), TBLOP_ABORT, or TBLOP_ERROR.
Usage Notes
FNC_TblOpReadBufEx is similar to FNC_TblOpReadBuf, except it takes an input stream handle as an argument so that it can handle multiple input streams.
The function is used for high performance direct buffer read access and requires that the buffer be in a standard row format. The buffer format is IndicData.
If the buffer is empty, the call blocks after requesting the database to fill the buffer with more data.
