BTI_SINT PvGetDbNamesData( 
	BTI_LONG           hConnection, 
	BTI_ULONG_PTR      pCount);

Arguments


In	hConnection	Connection handle that identifies the server. Connection handles are obtained with the PvConnectServer() function.
Out	pCount	Address of an unsigned long to receive the number of database names on the server.

Return Values


P_OK	The operation was successful.
P_E_INVALID_HANDLE	Invalid connection handle.
P_E_NULL_PTR	Call with NULL pointer.
P_E_FAIL	Failed for other reasons.

Remarks

The following precondition must be met:

DTI session started by calling PvStart().

Connection established by PvConnectServer() or if you are performing the operation on a local machine, P_LOCAL_DB_CONNECTION may be used as the connection handle.

This function should be called first before calling any other functions to get database names information. The caller should call PvFreeDbNamesData() to free the resources allocated for database names.
