Struct odbc_api::handles::Environment

pub struct Environment { /* fields omitted */ }

An Environment is a global context, in which to access data.

Associated with an Environment is any information that is global in nature, such as:

• The Environment's state
• The current environment-level diagnostics
• The handles of connections currently allocated on the environment
• The current stetting of each environment attribute

Implementations

impl Environment

pub unsafe fn new() -> Result<Self, Error>

An allocated ODBC Environment handle

Safety

There may only be one Odbc environment in any process at any time. Take care using this function in unit tests, as these run in parallel by default in Rust. Also no library should probably wrap the creation of an odbc environment into a safe function call. This is because using two of these "safe" libraries at the same time in different parts of your program may lead to race condition thus violating Rust's safety guarantees.

Creating one environment in your binary is safe however.

pub fn declare_version(&self, version: AttrOdbcVersion) -> Result<(), Error>

Declares which Version of the ODBC API we want to use. This is the first thing that should be done with any ODBC environment.

pub fn allocate_connection(&self) -> Result<Connection<'_>, Error>

Allocate a new connection handle. The Connection must not outlive the Environment.

pub fn as_raw(&self) -> HEnv

Provides access to the raw ODBC environment handle.

Trait Implementations

impl AsHandle for Environment

fn as_handle(&self) -> Handle

The raw underlying ODBC handle used to talk to the ODBC C API. The handle must be valid.

fn handle_type(&self) -> HandleType

The type of the ODBC handle returned by as_handle.

impl Debug for Environment

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for Environment

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
