A version of this page is also available for
4/8/2010
This function removes a database from the object store on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based device.
Note
This method has been deprecated. Use CeDeleteDatabaseEx instead.
Syntax
BOOL CeDeleteDatabase(
CEOID oidDbase
);
Parameters
- oidDbase
[in] Object identifier of the database to be deleted.
Return Value
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call CeGetLastError and CeRapiGetError. Possible values for CeGetLastError include the following:
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
Note
A parameter was invalid.
ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION
Note
Another thread has an open handle to the database.
Remarks
The CeDeleteDatabase (RAPI) function deletes a database, including all records in the database.
Note
Earlier versions of Windows Embedded CE assigned object identifiers to objects in other file systems, such as the file allocation table (FAT) file system. These object identifiers were guaranteed to be unique within a volume, but not across multiple volumes. Effective with version 3.0, only objects in the object store have valid, unique object identifiers and the object store is the only volume that can return an object identifier.
