Each database in the object store contains information about that database as a whole, including its name, type identifier, and sort order specifications. This information is defined in the CEDBASEINFO structure through the CeCreateDatabase and CeSetDatabaseInfo functions. As discussed earlier, this information can be accessed using CeOidGetInfo.
The database name is a null-terminated string that contains up to 32 characters. The type identifier is a double-word value that can be used for any application-defined purpose, typically to differentiate one type of database from another while enumerating them. The sort order specification determines the order in which the database seek functions examine the records in a database.
