BTI_LONG hConnection,

BTI_CHAR_PTR dbName,

BTI_ULONG_PTR pDbFlags);


In	hConnection	Connection handle that identifies the server. Connection handles are obtained with the PvConnectServer() function.
In	dbName	Name of the database. A list of all database names for a particular server is obtained with the PvGetDbNamesData() function. A single database name from the resulting list can be obtained with the PvGetDbName() function.
Out	pDbFlags	Database flags, which can be a combination of the P_DBFLAG_ constants. P_DBFLAG_RI (integrity constraints, including referential integrity and triggers) P_DBFLAG_BOUND (DDF files stamped with the database name so only that database can use them) P_DBFLAG_DBSEC_AUTHENTICATION (Mixed security policy. See Btrieve Security Policy.) P_DBFLAG_DBSEC_AUTHORIZATION (Database security policy. See Btrieve Security Policy.) P_DBFLAG_LONGMETADATA (see Metadata Version)

P_E_INVALID_HANDLE	Invalid connection handle.
P_E_NULL_PTR	Call with NULL pointer
P_E_NOT_EXIST	Named database does not exist.
P_E_FAIL	Failed for other reasons.
