STDBPATH module routines

STDBPATH module routines - WIN32

STDBPATH.C - SeT DataBase PATH

The standard database path routines. These 6 routines have been broken out from DTFL_ACC.C (which is where they belong) so programs like FIB_CALC could use them and not suck in all the data access routines they don't need. The define_database() call is used by programs that don't use program configuration files. Program that do use prc_cnfg.c will get the validate_data_type() and validate_data_path_str() called for them from the cnfg_table and just need to call set_database_vars().

Function	dspy_stdbpath_prc_globals
Include file	STDBPATH.H
Prototype	void dspy_stdbpath_prc_globals( void )
Remarks	Display the process global vars for module - stdbpath.

Function	define_database
Include file	STDBPATH.H
Prototype	void define_database( char database_type , char database_path )
Remarks	Define and validate a database.

Function	validate_data_type
Include file	STDBPATH.H
Prototype	void validate_data_type( char *str )
Remarks	Validate the user requested data_type with the module local char *data_types[]. Set GLOBAL var database_type with either the valid type or DATA_UNKNOWN.

Function	validate_data_path_str
Include file	STDBPATH.H
Prototype	void validate_data_path_str( char *str )
Remarks	This routine just validates that the user str is a valid terminated file path str. The actual validation of the data directory can't happen until we also know the database_type so we'll have to wait till the next routine for that. The GLOBAL var data_path will be set with its own copy of the final str.

Function	set_database_vars
Include file	STDBPATH.H
Prototype	void set_database_vars( void )
Remarks	Set the GLOBAL vars master_rec_size & data_rec_size. Also now validate that the data_path directory does have a master file.

Function	set_database_vars_from_registry
Include file	STDBPATH.H
Prototype	void set_database_vars_from_registry( void )
Remarks	Define and validate a database using the entries in the registry.
