Parameters

Data

[MKI_CONST_DATABASE_DATA_REF] Data for the database to be opened. If InternalDatabase is true (loading to internal database) and Data->FileName is set to MKI_CHAR_SYSTEM or is empty then a database file named like the current drawing (the extension is either set to "csv" or "dbf" depending on Data->FileType) is loaded into the internal database. If the name specified in Data->DatabaseName already exists, i.e. a database with the same name has already been opened, then the already existing database is updated only.

InternalDatabase New in Version 2019.0

[bool] Pass true if the database shall be loaded as an internal database or false if the database shall be loaded as an external database.

NoDialog New in Version 2025.1

[bool] If true, no error messages and no progress dialog will be displayed.

Return Value

Index of the database if successful, otherwise a negative value is returned.
