2.5.15 Common Files for NDB API Array Examples

In the NDB Cluster source distribution, the storage/ndb/ndbapi-examples directory storage/ndb/ndbapi-examples/common contains four header files with utilities for use in example NDB API programs. (Bug #70550, Bug #17592990) The names of these files are listed here:

  • array_adapter.hpp: Contains utility classes for converting between C++ style strings or byte arrays and the format used by NDB internally for VARCHAR, CHAR, and VARBINARY types.

  • error_handling.hpp: Contains error handling functions.

  • ndb_util.hpp: Defines a column_type_to_string() function which handles NDB column types.

  • util.hpp: Provides a method for generating strings of arbitrary length.

Following in this section are source listings for each of the header files.

 Utility classes to convert between C++ strings/byte arrays and the
 internal format used for [VAR]CHAR/BINARY types.

 Base class that can be used for read operations. The column type is
 taken from the NdbRecAttr object, so only one object is needed to
 convert from different [VAR]CHAR/BINARY types. No additional memory
 is allocated.
