DL_DataInsert

NAME
  DL_DataInsert, CSSM_DL_DataInsert - Create new persistent data
                                      record (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cssm.h>

   API:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_DL_DataInsert
       (CSSM_DL_DB_HANDLE DLDBHandle,
       CSSM_DB_RECORDTYPE RecordType,
       const CSSM_DB_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE_DATA *Attributes,
       const CSSM_DATA *Data,
       CSSM_DB_UNIQUE_RECORD_PTR *UniqueId)
   SPI:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMDLI DL_DataInsert
       (CSSM_DL_DB_HANDLE DLDBHandle,
       CSSM_DB_RECORDTYPE RecordType,
       const CSSM_DB_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE_DATA *Attributes,
       const CSSM_DATA *Data,
       CSSM_DB_UNIQUE_RECORD_PTR *UniqueId)

LIBRARY
  Common Security Services Manager library (CDSA$INCSSM300_SHR.EXE)

PARAMETERS
  DLDBHandle (input)
          The handle pair that describes the add-in data storage
          library module to be used to perform this function and the
          open data store in which to insert the new data record.

  RecordType (input)
          Indicates the type of data record being added to the data
          store

  Attributes (input/optional)
          A list of structures containing the attribute values to be
          stored in that attribute, and the meta information (schema)
          describing those attributes.  The list contains at most one
          entry per attribute in the specified record type.  The
          specified AttributeFormat for each attribute must match that
          of the database schema, otherwise the error
          CSSMERR_DL_INCOMPATIBLE_FIELD_FORMAT is returned. If an
          attribute is of type CSSM_DB_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_STRING and the
          value specified for that string includes a null-terminator,
          then the length count in the CSSM_DATA structure containing
          the input string should include the terminating character.
          (If null-terminators are used, they should be used
          consistently when storing, searching, and retrieving the
          string value, otherwise selection predicates will not locate
          expected matches.) For those attributes that are not assigned
          values by the caller, the DL module may assume the values to be
          the empty set, or assume default values, or return an error.
          If the specified record type does not contain any attributes,
          this parameter must be NULL.

  Data (input/optional)
          A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure which contains the
          opaque data object to be stored in the new data record. If
          the specified record type does not contain an opaque data
          object, this parameter must be NULL.

  UniqueId (output)
          A pointer to a CSSM_DB_UNIQUE_RECORD_PTR containing a unique
          identifier associated with the new record. This unique
          identifier structure can be used in future references to
          this record during the current open data base session. The
          pointer will be set to NULL if the function fails. The
          CSSM_DL_FreeUniqueRecord() function must be used to
          deallocate this structure.

DESCRIPTION
  This function creates a new persistent data record of the specified
  type by inserting it into the specified data store. The values
  contained in the new data record are specified by the Attributes and
  the Data. The attribute value list contains zero or more attribute
  values. The Attributes parameter also specifies a record type. This
  type must be the same as the type specified by the RecordType input
  parameter. The DL module may require initial values for the CSSM
  pre-defined attributes. The DL module can assume default values for
  any unspecified attribute values or can return an error condition
  when DLM-required attribute values are not specified by the caller.
  The Data is an opaque object to be stored in the new data record.

  If a primary key (concatination of all unique indexes in the relation)
  exists, the error CSSMERR_DL_INVALID_UNIQUE_INDEX_DATA is returned.
  The client should call CSSM_DL_DataGetFirst(), followed by
  CSSM_DL_DataModify() to change an existing record.

RETURN VALUE
  A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular
  error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other
  values represent an error condition.

ERRORS
  Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.  See CDSA.
