OCISvcCtxToLda()

Purpose

Toggles between a V8 or later service context handle and a V7 Lda_Def.

Syntax

sword OCISvcCtxToLda ( OCISvcCtx    *srvhp,
                       OCIError     *errhp,
                       Lda_Def      *ldap );

Parameters

svchp (IN/OUT)

The service context handle.

errhp (IN/OUT)

An error handle you can pass to OCIErrorGet() for diagnostic information in the event of an error.

ldap (IN/OUT)

A Logon Data Area for Oracle7-style OCI calls which is initialized by this call.

Comments

Toggles between an OCI release 8 or later service context handle and an Oracle7 Lda_Def.

This function can only be called after a service context has been properly initialized.

Once the service context has been translated to an Lda_Def, it can be used in release 7.x OCI calls (for example, obindps(), ofen()).

The action of this call can be reversed by passing the resulting Lda_Def to the OCILdaToSvcCtx() function.

The OCI_ATTR_IN_V8_MODE attribute of the server handle or service context handle enables an application to determine whether the application is currently in Oracle release 7 mode or Oracle release 8 or later mode.
