The mi_streamwrite_row() function

The mi_streamwrite_row() function writes a row structure (row type) value to a stream, converting any difference in the internal representation to that of the stream representation.

Syntax

mi_integer mi_streamwrite_row(strm_desc, rowstruc_ptr, fparam_ptr)
   MI_STREAM *strm_desc;
   MI_ROW *rowstruc_ptr;
   MI_FPARAM *fparam_ptr;
strm_desc
A pointer to the stream descriptor for the open stream to which to write the row structure (MI_ROW).
rowstruc_ptr
A pointer to the row structure to write to the stream.
fparam_ptr
A pointer to the MI_FPARAM structure for the user-defined routine that calls mi_streamwrite_row().
Valid in client LIBMI application? Valid in user-defined routine?
No Yes
Important: Enterprise Replication does not support this function.

Usage

The mi_streamwrite_row() function writes a row structure to the stream that strm_desc references. The function writes the value that rowstruc_ptr references. The write operation begins at the current stream seek position. You can use mi_stream_tell() or mi_stream_getpos() to obtain this seek position.

The mi_streamwrite_row() function is useful in a streamwrite() support function of an opaque data type that contains a row structure (MI_ROW).
Important: The mi_streamwrite_row() function requires the caller to have an open connection to the database server.

Return values

>=0
The number of bytes that the function has written to the open stream.
MI_STREAM_EEOF
The end of the stream has been reached.
MI_STREAM_EBADARG
The stream descriptor that strm_desc references or the value that rowstruc_ptr references is invalid.
MI_ERROR
The function was not successful.
