Client Session Management
Every client program that accesses a Universal Server database must establish a connection to a database server before the program attempts to query or manipulate data. The program can establish a connection with the following DataBlade API function or functions:
mi_open()
mi_server_connect()
and
mi_login()
An
MI_CONNECTION
data structure represents a connection to the database server. This data structure is similar to a file descriptor in UNIX.
The DataBlade API functions that establish a connection return a pointer to an
MI_CONNECTION
. This pointer can then be passed to invoke subsequent functions on the same connection.
