RenameDatabase()
Summary
Renames a geographic file.
Syntax
RenameDatabase(string old_name, string new_name)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| old_name | The full path and file name of the geographic file |
| new_name | The full path and new file name of the geographic file |
Notes
-
The old_name can include a full file specification, and must have an extension of either .dbd (standard geographic file) or .cdf (compact geographic file).
-
The extension of new_name must match that of old_name.
-
If you omit the path from new_name, and the current drive and directory are not the location of the geographic file, RenameDatabase() will move the geographic file to the current drive and directory.
Example
RenameDatabase("c:\\data\\states.cdf", " c:\\data\\mystate.cdf")Error Codes
