DataBlade® API data types
The DataBlade®
API provides
platform-independent data types, such as mi_smallint (two-byte
integer), mi_integer (four-byte integer), and mi_double_precision (floating-point
values). For a complete list of DataBlade®
API data
types, see DataBlade
API, C,
and SQL data types.
The mitypes.h header file defines these data
types.
Tip: The mi.h header file
automatically includes the milib.h header, which
in turn includes the mitypes.h header file. Therefore,
you do not need to explicitly include mitypes.h to
use the DataBlade®
API data
types.
To ensure maximum portability of your code, use these platform-independent data types instead of their C-language equivalents.
