## ◆ dblastrow()

Parameters

See also
  DBLASTROW(), dbclrbuf(), DBCURROW(), DBFIRSTROW(), dbgetrow(), dbnextrow(), dbsetopt().

## ◆ dbperror()

int dbperror | ( | DBPROCESS * | dbproc,
|  | DBINT | msgno,
|  | long | errnum,
|  |  | ...
| ) |  |

Call client-installed error handler.

Parameters

  dbproc | contains all information needed by db-lib to manage communications with the server.
  msgno | identifies the error message to be passed to the client's handler.
  errnum | identifies the OS error (errno), if any. Use 0 if not applicable.

Returns
  the handler's return code, subject to correction and adjustment for vendor style:
  - INT_CANCEL The db-lib function that encountered the error will return FAIL.
  - INT_TIMEOUT The db-lib function will cancel the operation and return FAIL. dbproc remains useable.
  - INT_CONTINUE The db-lib function will retry the operation.

Remarks
  The client-installed handler may also return INT_EXIT. If Sybase semantics are used, this function notifies the user and calls exit(3). If Microsoft semantics are used, this function returns INT_CANCEL.

If the client-installed handler returns something other than these four INT_* values, or returns timeout-related value for anything but SYBETIME, it's treated here as INT_EXIT (see above).

Instead of sprinkling error text all over db-lib, we consolidate it here, where it can be translated (one day), and where it can be mapped to the TDS error number.
The libraries don't use consistent error numbers or messages, so when libtds has to emit an error message, it can't include the text. It can pass its error number to a client-library function, which will interpret it, add the text, call the application's installed handler (if any) and return the handler's return code back to the caller.

The call stack may look something like this:

1. application
2. db-lib function (encounters error)
3. dbperror
4. error handler (installed by application)

The error handling in this case is unambiguous: the caller invokes this function, the client's handler returns its instruction, which the caller receives. Quite often the caller will get INT_CANCEL, in which case it should put its house in order and return FAIL.

The call stack may otherwise look something like this:

1. application
2. db-lib function
3. libtds function (encounters error)
4. _dblib_handle_err_message
5. dbperror
6. error handler (installed by application)

Because different client libraries specify their handler semantics differently, and because libtds doesn't know which client library is in charge of any given connection, it cannot interpret the raw return code from a db-lib error handler. For these reasons, libtds calls _dblib_handle_err_message, which translates between libtds and db-lib semantics.

  dberrhandle(), _dblib_handle_err_message().

## ◆ dbrows()

RETCODE dbrows | ( | DBPROCESS * | dbproc | ) |

Indicate whether a query returned rows.

Parameters

  dbproc | contains all information needed by db-lib to manage communications with the server.

See also
  DBROWS(), DBCMDROW(), dbnextrow(), dbresults(), DBROWTYPE().

## ◆ dbrowtype()

STATUS dbrowtype | ( | DBPROCESS * | dbproc | ) |

Get returned row's type.

Parameters

  dbproc | contains all information needed by db-lib to manage communications with the server.

See also
  DBROWTYPE().

## ◆ dbsetavail()

void dbsetavail | ( | DBPROCESS * | dbproc | ) |

Mark a `DBPROCESS` as "available".

Parameters

  dbproc | contains all information needed by db-lib to manage communications with the server.

Remarks
  Basically bogus. `FreeTDS` behaves the way Sybase's implementation does, but so what?
  Many `db-lib` functions set the `DBPROCESS` to "not available", but only dbsetavail() resets it to "available".

See also
  DBISAVAIL(). DBSETAVAIL().

## ◆ default_err_handler()

static int default_err_handler | ( | DBPROCESS * | dbproc,
|  | int | severity,
|  | int | dberr,
|  | int | oserr,
|  | char * | dberrstr,
|  | char * | oserrstr
| ) |  |
| static

default error handler for db-lib (handles library-generated errors)

The default error handler doesn't print anything. If you want to see your messages printed, install an error handler. If you think that should be an optional compile- or run-time default, submit a patch. It could be done.

See also
  DBDEAD(), dberrhandle().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

## ◆ tdsdbopen()

DBPROCESS * tdsdbopen | ( | LOGINREC * | login,
|  | const char * | server,
|  | int | msdblib
| ) |  |

Form a connection with the server.

Called by the `dbopen()` macro, normally. If FreeTDS was configured with `--enable-msdblib`, this function is called by (exported) `dbopen()` function. `tdsdbopen` is so-named to avoid namespace conflicts with other database libraries that use the same function name.

Parameters

  login | `LOGINREC*` carrying the account information.
  server | name of the dataserver to connect to.

Returns
  valid pointer on successful login.

Return values

  NULL | insufficient memory, unable to connect for any reason.

  dbopen()

Todo:

  use `asprintf()` to avoid buffer overflow.

  separate error messages for no-such-server and no-such-user.
