DictionaryHandle :: CopyStructure - Copy structure definition
The function copies a structure definition from one dictionary to another.
Implementation details
- srce_dicthandle - Reference to source dictionary handle
- strname - Type name
- namespace_id - Internal namespace number
- newnames
- New name
String that defines the new name/key for a object that is about to be renamed or copied
- topname
- Name of top-type
This field should contain the name of the type to be copied on top (when calling the function from an application). When processing recursive copy operations the name is used to avoid recursion while copying.
Default: NString::Null()
- db_replace
- Replace option
Replace options can be passed in order to control the behavior of copy functions.
Default: REPL_none
- retainSID
- Retain internal type numbers
If this option is set to true the function tries to reuse the internal type number defined for the type in the source dictionary. If this is not possible the type gets a new number in the target dictionary. This option is used, only, when copying a complete dictionary.
Default: NO
- retain_schemav
- Retain schema version
This option indicates, that the schema version from the source type should be copied (true). When the option is false, the schema version for the target type definition is set to 0.
Default: NO
