InputFileByAlias

Gets the name of the assigned database with the specified alias.

Compatibility

Available as of IDEA version 9.1.1

Syntax

InputFileByAlias (aliasName as string) as String

Parameter

aliasName

The alias whose corresponding assigned database name is requested.

Return Value

The name without path of the assigned database with the specified alias.

Remark

Aliases are case insensitive.

If aliasName is null, empty or if it consists only of white space characters, the method interprets the call as a request to resolve the primary database.

An exception is thrown if a database with the specified alias does not exist.

Example

Dim Aliases() As String 
Dim i As Integer 
Redim Aliases(2) 
Aliases(0) = "" 'Represents the primary database 
Aliases(1) = "aaa1" 
Aliases(2) = "aaa2" 

Sub Main 

	'Log database name for each assigned database if the collection of assigned databases contains an element with the specified alias 
	For i = 0 to 2 
	If SmartContext.InputFilesContainsAlias(Aliases(i)) Then 
		SmartContext.Log.LogMessage "Assigned database name for aliases <" & Aliases(i) & ">: " &_ 
		SmartContext.InputFileByAlias(Aliases(i)) 
	Else 
		SmartContext.Log.LogMessage "InputFilesContainsAlias("""" & Aliases(i) & """"): " &_ 
		SmartContext.InputFilesContainsAlias(Aliases(i)) 
	End If 
	Next 
End Sub
