<a href="intro.html"><h2>SQLite C Interface</h2></a><h2>Virtual Table Instance Object</h2><blockquote><pre>struct sqlite3_vtab {
121
const sqlite3_module *pModule; /* The module for this virtual table */
122
int nRef; /* NO LONGER USED */
123
char *zErrMsg; /* Error message from sqlite3_mprintf() */
124
/* Virtual table implementations will typically add additional fields */
126
</pre></blockquote><p>
127
Every <a href="../c3ref/module.html">virtual table module</a> implementation uses a subclass
128
of this object to describe a particular instance
129
of the <a href="../vtab.html">virtual table</a>. Each subclass will
130
be tailored to the specific needs of the module implementation.
131
The purpose of this superclass is to define certain fields that are
132
common to all module implementations.</p>
134
<p>Virtual tables methods can set an error message by assigning a
135
string obtained from <a href="../c3ref/mprintf.html">sqlite3_mprintf()</a> to zErrMsg. The method should
136
take care that any prior string is freed by a call to <a href="../c3ref/free.html">sqlite3_free()</a>
137
prior to assigning a new string to zErrMsg. After the error message
138
is delivered up to the client application, the string will be automatically
139
freed by sqlite3_free() and the zErrMsg field will be zeroed.
