Enumeration Type Documentation

A comparison result type that describes the result of a comparison.

Enumerator
A_lt_B 

The result for the comparison operation is A <= B.

A_equ_B 

The result for the comparison operation is A == B.

A_gt_B 

The result for the comparison operation is A >= B.

Definition at line 116 of file dictionary_types.h.

116  {
117  A_lt_B = -1,
118  A_equ_B = 0,
119  A_gt_B = 1
enum ION_COMPARISON ion_comparison_t
A comparison result type that describes the result of a comparison.

A status type describing the current state of an initialized cursor.

Enumerator
cs_invalid_index 

A cursor status stating that the cursor has an invalid index.

cs_invalid_cursor 

A cursor status stating that the cursor is generally invalid.

cs_end_of_results 

A cursor status stating that the the cursor has reached the end of the results.

cs_cursor_initialized 

A cursor status stating that the cursor has been initialized but has data that hasn't yet been accessed. Cursor is valid but data has need been accessed.

cs_cursor_uninitialized 

A cursor status stating that the cursor has not yet been attached to a predicate statement and associated data.

cs_cursor_active 

A cursor status stating that the cursor is active and is traversing data.

cs_possible_data_inconsistency 

A cursor status stating that the data in the underlying dictionary has been changed, making the cursor invalid.

Definition at line 125 of file dictionary_types.h.

The status codes describing various states a dictionary can be in.

Enumerator
ion_dictionary_status_ok 

A status describing the situation when a dictionary is ready to be used.

ion_dictionary_status_closed 

A status describing the situation when a dictionary has been closed.

ion_dictionary_status_error 

A status describing the situation when a dictionary operation modifying

the dictionary has failed.

Definition at line 163 of file dictionary_types.h.

The predicate type flag list.

These type flags tell internal code what type of predicate is being described.

Enumerator
predicate_equality 

Predicate type for equality cursors.

predicate_range 

Predicate tyoe for range cursors.

predicate_all_records 

Predicate type for cursors over all records.

predicate_predicate 

Predicate type for predicate cursors.

Definition at line 304 of file dictionary_types.h.

The list of write concern options for supported dictionary implementations.

The write concern level describes dictionary behaviour when multiple values are inserted with the same key. Not all implementations are required to support different write concern levels.

Enumerator
wc_update 

Write concern which allows for values to be overwritten if their associated key already exists in the dictionary.

wc_insert_unique 

Write concern which allows for unique inserts only (no overwrite).

wc_duplicate 

Write concern which allows for duplicate keys to be inserted into dictionary.

Definition at line 426 of file dictionary_types.h.
