InformixChannel

Inherits from: EOAdaptorChannel : NSObject

Package: com.apple.yellow.informixeoadaptor

Class Description

An InformixChannel represents an independent communication channel to the database server its InformixAdaptor is connected to. All of an InformixChannel's operations take place within the context of transactions controlled or tracked by its InformixContext. An InformixContext can manage multiple InformixChannels, and a channel is associated with only one context.

The features InformixChannel adds to EOAdaptorChannel are as follows:

Informix-specific error handling (see InformixChannel.Delegate)
The ability to configure the fetch buffer
The ability to read a list of table names from the database
