.. _dpiSodaCollCursorFunctions:
ODPI-C SODA Collection Cursor Functions
---------------------------------------
SODA collection cursor handles are used to represent SODA collection cursors.
They are created by calling the function :func:`dpiSodaDb_getCollections()`
and are destroyed when the last reference is released by calling the function
:func:`dpiSodaCollCursor_release()`.
See `this tracking issue <https://github.com/oracle/odpi/issues/110>`__ for
known issues with SODA.
.. function:: int dpiSodaCollCursor_addRef(dpiSodaCollCursor* cursor)
Adds a reference to the SODA collection cursor. This is intended for
situations where a reference to the cursor needs to be maintained
independently of the reference returned when the cursor was created.
The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.
.. parameters-table::
* - ``cursor``
- IN
- The cursor to which a reference is to be added. If the reference
is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
.. function:: int dpiSodaCollCursor_close(dpiSodaCollCursor* cursor)
Closes the cursor and makes it unusable for further work immediately,
rather than when the reference count reaches zero.
The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.
.. parameters-table::
* - ``cursor``
- IN
- A reference to the cursor which is to be closed. If the reference
is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
.. function:: int dpiSodaCollCursor_getNext(dpiSodaCollCursor* cursor, \
uint32_t flags, dpiSodaColl** coll)
Gets the next collection from the cursor, if there is one.
The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.
.. parameters-table::
* - ``cursor``
- IN
- The cursor from which the next collection is to be retrieved. The
reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
* - ``flags``
- IN
- One or more of the values from the enumeration
:ref:`dpiSodaFlags<dpiSodaFlags>`, OR'ed together. Only the value
DPI_SODA_FLAGS_DEFAULT is currently supported.
* - ``coll``
- OUT
- A pointer to a reference to the next collection in the cursor, if
one exists. If no further collections are available from the
cursor, NULL is returned instead. The function
:func:`dpiSodaColl_release()` should be called when the collection
is no longer required.
.. function:: int dpiSodaCollCursor_release(dpiSodaCollCursor* cursor)
Releases a reference to the SODA collection cursor. A count of the
references to the cursor is maintained and when this count reaches zero,
the memory associated with the cursor is freed.
The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.
.. parameters-table::
* - ``cursor``
- IN
- The cursor from which a reference is to be released. If the
reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
