1 Version 4.0 -- 5/1/89 dbtxtsput
______________________________________________________________________
NAME: dbtxtsput
FUNCTION:
Put the new value of a text timestamp into the specified column
of the current row in the DBPROCESS.
SYNTAX:
RETCODE dbtxtsput(dbproc, newtxts, colnum)
DBPROCESS *dbproc;
DBBINARY *newtxts;
int colnum;

COMMENTS:
o Every database column of type SYBTEXT or SYBIMAGE has an asso-
ciated text timestamp, which is updated whenever the column's
value is changed. The text timestamp is useful in conjunction
with the dbwritetext() function, to ensure that two competing
application users do not inadvertently wipe out each other's
modifications to the same value in the database. It is
returned to the DBPROCESS when a Transact-SQL SELECT is per-
formed on a SYBTEXT or SYBIMAGE column and may be examined by
calling dbtxtimestamp().
o After each successful dbwritetext() operation (which may
include a number of calls to dbmoretext()), SQL Server will
send the updated text timestamp value back to DB-Library.
dbtxtsnewval() allows the application to get this new timestamp
value. The application can then use dbtxtsput() to put the new

timestamp value into the DBPROCESS row buffer, for future
access via dbtxtimestamp(). This is particularly useful when
the application is buffering result rows and does not need the
new timestamp immediately.
PARAMETERS:
dbproc - A pointer to the DBPROCESS structure that provides the
connection for a particular front-end/SQL Server process. It
contains all the information that DB-Library uses to manage
communications and data between the front end and SQL Server.
newtxts - A pointer to the new text timestamp value. It is
returned by dbtxtsnewval().
colnum - The number of the column associated with this text
timestamp. Column numbers start at 1.
RETURNS:
SUCCEED or FAIL.
