The am_drop purpose function
The database server calls am_drop for a DROP TABLE, DROP INDEX, or DROP DATABASE statement.
Syntax
mi_integer am_drop(MI_AM_TABLE_DESC *tableDesc)- tableDesc
- Points to the index descriptor.
Usage
Even if the access method provides no am_drop purpose function, the database server automatically removes the dropped object from the system catalog tables. The database server no longer recognizes the name of the dropped object.
Return values
- MI_OK
- Indicates success.
- MI_ERROR
- Indicates failure.
