OCIRefAssign()

Purpose

Assigns one REF to another, such that both reference the same object.

Syntax

sword OCIRefAssign ( OCIEnv             *env, 
                     OCIError           *err, 
                     CONST OCIRef       *source, 
                     OCIRef             **target );

Parameters

env (IN/OUT)

The OCI environment handle initialized in object mode.

See Also: OCIEnvCreate() and OCIInitialize()

err (IN/OUT)

The OCI error handle. If there is an error, it is recorded in err and this function returns OCI_ERROR. Obtain diagnostic information by calling OCIErrorGet().

source (IN)

REF to copy from.

target (IN/OUT)

REF to copy to.

Comments

Copies source REF to target REF; both then reference the same object. If the target REF pointer is null (*target == NULL), then OCIRefAssign() will allocate memory for the target REF in the OCI object cache prior to the copy.
