I write a dbdriver (as described in c-api samples\misc\dbdrive). How can I get the database which is currently selected on workspace?TeamStudio utility and scanEZ can do it, thus it is possible.

Help please

It is very easy (although I’ve been doing this since Notes 3.3, so maybe it just seems easy now). In the call

STATUS LNPUBLIC

DBDSetOpenContext(DBVEC far *vec, HDBDSESSION hSession,

              char far *DefaultDBName, DBOPENBYIDPROC Proc,

              HANDLE hNames, DWORD hParentWnd)

the third argument is the DefaultDBName. Copy this into someplace where you can use it later and you have the default database. This could be a line as simple as

strcpy (database_default, DefaultDBName);

To break it into its component parts, just use

sError = OSPathNetParse (database_default, NULL,

                         server,

                         filepath);

It there any way to pass several DBs? :)I’ve selected three bases and click on the button, and all three bases are know in the code…

Guess not, but…
