1 Version 4.0 -- 5/1/89 dbprtype
______________________________________________________________________
NAME: dbprtype
FUNCTION:
Convert a token value to a readable string.
SYNTAX:
char *dbprtype(token)
int token;
COMMENTS:
o Certain routines-dbcoltype(), dbalttype(), dbrettype(), and
dbprtype Version 4.0 -- 5/1/89 2
______________________________________________________________________
dbaltop()-return token values representing SQL Server datatypes
or aggregate operators. dbprtype() provides a readable string
version of a token value.
o For example, dbprtype() will take a dbcoltype() token value
representing the SQL Server binary datatype (SYBBINARY) and
return the string "binary".
o Here's a list of the token strings that dbprtype() can return
and their token value equivalents:
Token String Token Value Description
char SYBCHAR char datatype
text SYBTEXT text datatype
binary SYBBINARY binary datatype
image SYBIMAGE image datatype
tinyint SYBINT1 1-byte integer datatype
smallint SYBINT2 2-byte integer datatype
3 Version 4.0 -- 5/1/89 dbprtype
______________________________________________________________________
int SYBINT4 4-byte integer datatype
float SYBFLT8 8-byte float datatype
bit SYBBIT bit datatype
money SYBMONEY money datatype
datetime SYBDATETIME datetime datatype
sum SYBAOPSUM sum aggregate operator
avg SYBAOPAVG average aggregate operator
count SYBAOPCNT count aggregate operator
min SYBAOPMIN minimum aggregate operator
max SYBAOPMAX maximum aggregate operator
PARAMETERS:
token - The SQL Server token value (SYBCHAR, SYBFLT8, etc.)
returned by dbcoltype(), dbalttype(), dbrettype(), or dbal-
top().
RETURNS:
dbprtype Version 4.0 -- 5/1/89 4
______________________________________________________________________
A pointer to a null-terminated string that is the readable trans-
lation of the token value. The pointer points to space that is
never overwritten, so it is safe to call this routine more than
once in the same statement. If the token value is unknown, the
routine returns a pointer to an empty string.
