Types

The Undofile class defines no public types.

Undofile Constructor

Description

The class constructor can be used to create a new Undofile instance, or to copy an existing one.

Signatures

Create a new instance:

Undofile
    (
      void
    )

Copy constructor:

Undofile
    (
      const Undofile& undoFile
    )
Parameters

New instance: None. The copy constructor takes a single argument—a reference to the Undofile object to be copied.

Return value

An Undofile object.

Destructor.  The class defines a virtual destructor which takes no arguments and has the return type void.

Undofile::getFileNo() (OBSOLETE)

Description

This method did not work as intended, and was removed in NDB 7.5.0 (Bug #47960, Bug #11756088).

Signature
Uint32 getFileNo
    (
      void

It is also possible to obtain the name of the log file group directly. See Undofile::getLogfileGroup()

Signature
Uint32 getLogfileGroupId
    (
      void
    ) const
Parameters

None.

Return value

The ID of the log file group, as an unsigned 32-bit integer.

Signature
Uint32 getNode
    (
      void
    ) const
Parameters

Description

This method retrieves the undo file's object ID.

Signature
virtual int getObjectId
    (
      void
    ) const
Parameters

None.

Return value

The object ID, as an integer.

Signature
Uint64 getSize
    (
      void

None.

Return value

The size in bytes of the undo file, as an unsigned 64-bit integer.

Undofile::setLogfileGroup()

Description

Given either a name or an object reference to a log file group, the setLogfileGroup() method assigns the undo file to that log file group.

Signature

Using a log file group name:

void setLogfileGroup
    (
      const char* name
    )

Using a reference to an instance of LogfileGroup:
