SQL::ConnectionCreateTable Method
Syntax
Arguments
- TableInfoSQL::TableInfo
A SQL::TableInfo object.
Returns
- Result_FlagLogical
TRUE (.T.) if the operation was successful; otherwise FALSE (.F.).
Description
Create a table in the currently connected database using the TableInfo specification.
Discussion
The CreateTable() method creates a table in the currently connected database using the TableDef specification. SQL::Connection::CreateTable (which calls GenerateCreateTableSyntax) can recognize and map geography types. This can be a fairly complicated process as described in Database-specific Geography Tasks V11. Oracle, for example, requires that a spatial index be created to use comparison functions. Some databases require separate code to add geography/geometry columns.
Example
Note that a new field must have a name, length, and an Intermediate type.
dim ti as SQL::TableInfo dim conn as SQL::Connection dim dt as SQL::DataTypeInfo if .not. conn.open("{A5API=Access,FileName='C:\Program Files\A5V8\MDBFiles\Alphasports.mdb', UserName='Admin'}") then ui_msg_box("Error", conn.CallResult.text) end end if dt.Name = "Name" dt.Length = 50 dt.IntermediateType = "Character" ti.name = "NewTable" if ti.AddColumn(dt) = 0 then end end if if .not. conn.CreateTable(ti) then ui_msg_box("Error", conn.CallResult.text) end if conn.close()
