SetFlags

NAME SetFlags

PROTOTYPE

#include "ISTable.h"

int ISTable::SetFlags(char newOpts, int colIndex);

EXAMPLE

#include "ISTable.h"

ISTable * pTable = new ISTable();

... // do table construction 

// Set all columns to case insensitive strings
for (int i = 0; i < pTable->GetNumColumns(); i++) {
  pTable->SetFlags(ISTable::DT_STRING |
                   ISTable::CASE_INSENSE, i);
}

PURPOSE

SetFlags set the flags for a particular column. These flags dictate the datatype of the column and the behavior of searches done on the column.

RECEIVES

newOpts	A bit field comprised of the bitwise ORing of the desired options.
colIndex	The index of the column to have flags set.

RETURN VALUE

A negative value indicates an error or warning.

REMARKS

Note that setting one of case (in)sensitivity, white space (in)sensitivity, or datatype does not interfere with the current setting of the other two.
