Usage

The mi_get_dbnames() function copies database names into dbnamesb (up to dbnamesbsize) and copies database-name pointers into dbnameps (up to dbnamepssize). The user allocates dbnamesb and dbnameps.

If the connection is not logged in, this function retrieves the names of databases available on $INFORMIXSERVER. If the connection is not provided (conn argument is NULL), this function retrieves the names of databases on all database servers.

Return values

>=0
The number of retrieved database names.
MI_ERROR
The function was not successful.
