OCITerminate()

Purpose

Detaches the process from the shared memory subsystem and releases the shared memory.

Syntax

sword OCITerminate ( ub4    mode);

Parameters

mode (IN)

Call-specific mode. Valid value:

• OCI_DEFAULT - executes the default call

Comments

OCITerminate() should be called only once for each process and is the counterpart of OCIInitialize() call. The call will try to detach the process from the shared memory subsystem and shut it down. It also performs additional process cleanup operations. When two or more processes connecting to the same shared memory are calling OCITerminate() simultaneously, the fastest one will release the shared memory subsystem completely and the slower ones will have to abort.
