mi_server_connect()

The mi_server_connect() function establishes a connection between a client and a database server and initializes the DataBlade API.

Syntax

MI_CONNECTION *mi_server_connect(conn_info)

		MI_CONNECTION_INFO *conn_info; 


conn_info
is a pointer to an MI_CONNECTION_INFO structure. 



For a description of the MI_CONNECTION_INFO structure, see the description of the mi_get_connection_info() function. For additional information about this and other data structures, see "Information Descriptors".







 



Valid in Client Application?

Valid in Server Routine?

Yes
No

Usage

One of the functions listed under "Initialization" must be the first DataBlade API function called in a DataBlade API session. If one of these functions is not called first, DataBlade API is not initialized and all subsequent DataBlade API calls return error status.

The mi_server_connect() function is used for portable applications that run against different database servers. If mi_server_connect() is used to establish a connection to a database server, mi_login() is used to open a database. For general information about establishing a session with mi_server_connect() and mi_login(), see "Connections with mi_server_connect() and mi_login()".

Return Values

Returns a pointer to a new MI_CONNECTION descriptor. This descriptor can then be passed to subsequent routines called on the connection.
