ITableDefinition::DropTable

OLE DB Programmer's Reference

Drops a base table in the data store.

HRESULT DropTable (    DBID *pTableID);

Parameters

pTableID: [in]
A pointer to the DBID of the base table to drop.

Return Code

S_OK: The method succeeded and the table is dropped.
E_FAIL: A provider-specific error occurred.
E_INVALIDARG: pTableID was a null pointer.
DB_E_DROPRESTRICTED: The provider could not drop the table because pTableID was referenced in a view definition.
The provider could not drop the table because pTableID was referenced in a constraint belonging to a table other than pTableID.
DB_E_NOTABLE: The specified table does not exist in the current data store.
DB_E_TABLEINUSE: The specified table was in use and could not be dropped.
DB_SEC_E_PERMISSIONDENIED: The consumer did not have sufficient permission to drop the table.
XACT_E_XTIONEXISTS: The provider supports transactional DDL, the session is participating in a transaction, and the value of DBPROP_SUPPORTEDTXNDDL is DBPROPVAL_TC_DML.

Comments

If the session is participating in a transaction, if DBPROP_SUPPORTEDTXNDDL is DBPROPVAL_TC_DDL_IGNORE, and if the method succeeds, the operation is complete and is unaffected by subsequent calls to abort or commit the transaction.

If the session is participating in a transaction, if DBPROP_SUPPORTEDTXNDDL is DBPROPVAL_TC_DDL_COMMIT, and if the method succeeds, the transaction is committed without retention. No new transaction is created. Any new work done on the session is outside the scope of a transaction. Attempting to explicitly commit or abort when there is no outstanding transaction returns an error.
