BTI_API PvCountDSNs(

BTI_LONG hConnection,

BTI_ULONG_PTR pdsnCount,

BTI_CHAR filtering);


In	hConnection	Connection handle that identifies the server. Connection handles are obtained with the PvConnectServer() function.
Out	pdsnCount	Address of an unsigned long to receive the number of DSNs.
In	filtering	Set to 1 if you only want PSQL DSNs. Set to 0 if you want all DSNs.


P_OK	The operation was successful.
P_E_INVALID_HANDLE	Invalid connection handle.
P_E_NULL_PTR	Call with NULL pointer
P_E_FAIL	Failed for other reasons.

The following preconditions must be met:

•

DTI session started by calling PvStart().

•

Connection established by PvConnectServer() or if you are performing the operation on a local machine, P_LOCAL_DB_CONNECTION may be used as the connection handle.

To retrieve the number of DSNs without having to prompt the user to login, pass empty strings for username and password when establishing the server connection with PvConnectServer().

Note: The connection established by passing empty strings for username and password is an insecure connection, and will not have sufficient rights to perform most of the other operations in DTI.
