unsigned short db_find_engine(
SQLCA *sqlca,
char *name );
Returns an unsigned short value, which indicates status information about the database server whose name is name. If no server can be found with the specified name, the return value is 0. A non-zero value indicates that the server is currently running.
Each bit in the return value conveys some information. Constants that represent the bits for the various pieces of information are defined in the sqldef.h header file. If a null pointer is specified for name, information is returned about the default database environment.
