PX_SET_BLOB_FILE(3)					     Library Functions Manual					       PX_SET_BLOB_FILE(3)

NAME

       PX_set_blob_file -- Associate blob file with database

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_set_blob_file(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, const char *filename)

DESCRIPTION

       Opens  or  creates  the	given blob file and associates it with the Paradox database. This function must be called before accessing records
       whose blob data is stored in a .MB file. It must also be called after opening or creating the paradox database. If the blob  data  is  con-
       tained in the record itself or can be stored in the record, this function may not be called.

       This  function  must  be called after opening or creating the database file, because it uses the same file open mode. If you call it before
       PX_open_file(3) or PX_create_file(3)	       it will quit with an error.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a value < 0 in case of an error, otherwise 0.

PX_CREATE_FP(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   PX_CREATE_FP(3)

NAME

       PX_create_fp -- create a new Paradox file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_create_fp(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, pxfield_t *fields, int numfields, FILE *fp, int type)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates	a  new Paradox document in an already open file with the given field specification. pxdoc must be created before with PX_new(3) or
       PX_new2(3).  The file must be opened in read/write mode (w+) with fopen(3). fields is an array of numfields field specifications to set the
       schema of the database. The memory for the field specifications and field names must be allocated by the caller and may not be freed, since
       the memory is freed when the document is deleted. Make sure to use the same memory allocation function as passed to PX_new(3).  The  memory
       for the field names is usually allocated with PX_strdup(3).  The field name can be left empty if a primary index file is to be created. The
       type of the file can be set in the last parameter. Currently only database  (pxfFileTypIndexDB,	pxfFileTypNonIndexDB)  and  primary  index
       (pxfFileTypPrimIndex) files are supported.

       After  creating	the paradox database you may want to call PX_set_tablename(3) in order to set the table name as it is stored in the header
       of the database.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
