Set the duplicate data item comparison function. The comparison
|
||
function is called whenever it is necessary to compare a data item
|
||
specified by the application with a data item currently stored in the
|
||
database. Calling <code class="methodname">DB->set_dup_compare()</code> implies calling
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbset_flags.html" title="DB->set_flags()">DB->set_flags()</a> with the
|
||
<a class="link" href="dbset_flags.html#dbset_flags_DB_DUPSORT">DB_DUPSORT</a>
|
||
flag.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If no comparison function is specified, the data items are compared
|
||
lexically, with shorter data items collating before longer data items.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">DB->set_dup_compare()</code> method may not be called after the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB->open()">DB->open()</a> method is called. If
|
||
the database already exists when <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB->open()">DB->open()</a>
|
||
is called, the information specified to <code class="methodname">DB->set_dup_compare()</code> must be the same as
|
||
that historically used to create the database or corruption can occur.

||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">DB->set_dup_compare()</code> <span>
|

<span>

<p>
|

The <span class="bold"><strong>dup_compare_fcn</strong></span> function is the
|
||
application-specified duplicate data item comparison function. The
|
||
function takes three arguments:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code class="literal">db</code>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="bold"><strong>db</strong></span> parameter is the enclosing
|
||
database handle.
|
||
</p>
|

</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code class="literal">dbt1</code>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="bold"><strong>dbt1</strong></span> parameter is a
|
||
<a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a> representing the application
|
||
supplied data item.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code class="literal">dbt2</code>
|

</p>
|

<p>
|

The <span class="bold"><strong>dbt2</strong></span> parameter is a

<a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a> representing the current

</li>
|

</ul>
|

</div>
|

<p>
|
||
The <span class="bold"><strong>dup_compare_fcn</strong></span> function must return an
|
||
integer value less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first data item
|
||
parameter is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than
|
||
the second data item parameter. In addition, the comparison function must cause
|
||
the data items in the set to be <span class="emphasis"><em>well-ordered</em></span>. The
|
||
comparison function must correctly handle any data item values used by the
|
||
application (possibly including zero-length data items). The
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>data</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>size</strong></span>
|
||
fields of the <a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a> are the only fields
|
||
that may be used for the purposes of this comparison, and no particular
|
||
alignment of the memory to which the <span class="bold"><strong>data</strong></span> field
|
||
refers may be assumed.
