ENCINA(3) — Subroutines

NAME

tisam_intro - introduction to T-ISAM

DESCRIPTION

The Encina Transactional Indexed Sequential Access Method (T-ISAM) library provides an X/Open ISAM compliant method of accessing data stored in the Transarc Encina Structured File Server (SFS). Applications that use the T-ISAM interface can share data with applications that use the SFS, allowing existing ISAM-based applications to interact easily with new SFS-based applications. T-ISAM also provides compatibility functions for the Informix C Indexed Sequential Access Method (C-ISAM) interface.

Header Files

The tisam/tisam.h header file must be included in all applications that require access to the T-ISAM functions or global variables. Do not declare any X-ISAM or C-ISAM functions or global variables outside of the supplied T-ISAM header file.

Functions

The RQS interface exports functions for the following types of operations:

T-ISAM functions

tisam_DumpState

tisam_ErrorToString

tisam_Initialize

tisam_issettimeout

tisam_SetCaching

tisam_SetVolume

T-ISAM function extensions

isbegin

iscommit

isrollback

Data Types

The T-ISAM interface defines the following data type:

tisam_interface_t
