Creates a new engine data source name (DSN) and specifies the encoding option for data.

Header File: catalog.h (See also Header Files)

Function First Available In Library: w3dbav90.dll (Windows), libpsqldti.so (Linux), libpsqldti.dylib (OS X) (See also Link Libraries)

This function is deprecated in PSQL v11 and higher versions. Use the ODBC API to create client DSNs (or dsnadd utility on Linux and OS X).

BTI_API PvCreateDSN2(

BTI_LONG hConnection,

BTI_CHAR_PTR pdsnName,

BTI_CHAR_PTR pdsnDesc,

BTI_CHAR_PTR pdsnDBQ,

BTI_LONG openMode,

BTI_LONG translate);

Connection handle that identifies the server. Connection handles are obtained with the PvConnectServer() function.

Name for the new DSN.

Description for the new DSN.

Database name to which this DSN will connect. This name must already exist. To create a database name, see PvCreateDatabase().

Open mode for the DSN, which is one of the following:

•

•

ACCELERATED_MODE

•

•

See also DSN Open Mode in ODBC Guide.

Encoding option for data, which can be one of the following:

•

DSNFLAG_DEFAULT

•

DSNFLAG_OEMANSI

•

See also Encoding Translation in ODBC Guide. Note that DSNFLAG_DEFAULT corresponds to the “None” encoding option in ODBC Administrator.


P_OK	The operation was successful.
P_E_INVALID_HANDLE	Invalid connection handle.
P_E_NULL_PTR	Call with NULL pointer
P_E_INVALID_NAME	The specified DSN name is invalid.
P_E_DSN_ALREADY_EXIST	The specified DSN name already exists.
P_E_ACCESS_RIGHT	Insufficient access right for the operation.
P_E_INVALID_OPEN_MODE	The specified open mode is invalid.
P_E_INVALID_TRANSLATE_OPTION	The specified encoding translation option is invalid.
P_E_FAIL	Failed to retrieve data path.

This function creates engine DSNs only and requires a PSQL v10 client or later. To create a client DSN, you must use the ODBC API. (On Linux and OS X, you can also use the dsnadd utility to create a client DSN.)

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.

•

The database name referenced in the pdsnDBQ parameter must already exist. To create a database name, see PvCreateDatabase().
