DataBlade API support data types
The DataBlade API provides additional data types that DataBlade API functions use. These data types are usually enumerated data types that restrict valid values for an argument or return value of a DataBlade API function. Most of these data types start with the MI_ prefix.
| Support data type | Purpose | Location of description |
|---|---|---|
| MI_CALLBACK_STATUS | Enumerates valid return values of a callback function | Return value of a callback function |
| MI_CURSOR_ACTION | Enumerates movements through a cursor | Position the cursor |
| MI_EVENT_TYPE | Classifies an event | DataBlade API event types |
| MI_FUNCARG | Enumerates kinds of arguments that a companion UDR might receive | The MI_FUNCARG data type |
| mi_funcid | Holds a routine identifier | Routine resolution |
| MI_ID | Enumerates the kinds of identifiers that the mi_get_id() function can obtain | Description of mi_get_id() in the IBM® Informix DataBlade API Function Reference |
| MI_SETREQUEST | Enumerates values of the iterator-status constant, which the database server can return to a UDR through the mi_fp_request() function | Write an iterator function |
| MI_TRANSITION_TYPE | Enumerates types of state transitions in a transition descriptor | Understanding state-transition events |
| MI_UDR_TYPE | Enumerates the kind of UDR for which the mi_routine_get_by_typeid() function obtains a function descriptor | Description of mi_routine_get_by_typeid() in the IBM Informix DataBlade API Function Reference |
