15.17.3. create

Purpose

Creates a new table.

Synopsis

virtual int create ( name,  
  form,  
  info);  
const char *  name ;
TABLE *  form ;
HA_CREATE_INFO *  info ;

Description

This is the create method.

create() is called to create a table. The variable name will have the name of the table. When create() is called you do not need to open the table. Also, the .frm file will have already been created so adjusting create_info is not recommended.

Called from handler.cc by ha_create_table().

Parameters

  • name

  • form

  • info

Return Values

There are no return values.

Usage

Example from the CSV storage engine:

int ha_tina::create(const char *name, TABLE *table_arg,
                    HA_CREATE_INFO *create_info)
{
  char name_buff[FN_REFLEN];
  File create_file;
  DBUG_ENTER("ha_tina::create");

  if ((create_file= my_create(fn_format(name_buff, name, "", ".CSV",
                                        MY_REPLACE_EXT|MY_UNPACK_FILENAME),0,
                              O_RDWR | O_TRUNC,MYF(MY_WME))) < 0)
    DBUG_RETURN(-1);

  my_close(create_file,MYF(0));

  DBUG_RETURN(0);
}
