The mi_qual_stratnum() accessor function
The mi_qual_stratnum() function locates a strategy function that a WHERE clause specifies in the list of strategy functions for the corresponding operator class.
Syntax
mi_integer mi_qual_stratnum(MI_AM_QUAL_DESC *qualDesc)- qualDesc
- Points to the qualification descriptor.
Usage
The return value from mi_qual_stratnum() provides
an offset to retrieve the strategy function name from the key descriptor.
To obtain the strategy-function name, the access method can pass the
return value from mi_qual_stratnum() to the mi_key_opclass_strat() function.
Tip: The access method can alternatively use the mi_qual_funcname() function
to obtain the name of a particular strategy function that the WHERE
clause specifies from the qualification descriptor.
Return values
The return integer indicates
the order in which the strategy function name occurs in the key descriptor.
The mi_qual_stratnum() returns 0 for
the first strategy function and 1 for the second
strategy function name. For each subsequent strategy function, the
return value increments by 1.
