A version of this page is also available for

4/8/2010

This function creates a new database in the object store or in amounted volume on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based remote.

CEOID CeCreateDatabaseEx( 
  PCEGUID pceguid, 
  CEDBASEINFO * lpCEDBInfo 
);

• pceguid
  [in] Pointer to the CEGUID that contains the globally unique identifierof a mounted database volume.

• lpCEDBInfo
  [in] Pointer to the CEDBASEINFO structure that determines the name, type, sort orders, and characteristics of the database.

The object identifier of the newly created database indicates success. NULL indicates failure. To get extended error information, call CeGetLastError or CeRapiGetError. Possible values for CeGetLastError include the following:

• ERROR_DISK_FULL
  The destination source does not contain enough space to create the new database.

• ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
  A parameter was invalid.

• ERROR_DUP_NAME
  A database already exists with the specified name.

Because sort orders increase the system resources needed to perform each insert and delete operation, you should keep the number of sort orders to a minimum. Use the CeSetDatabaseInfoEx function to change the sort order later.

Do not create a database name that end with a backslash character "\".
