Return Value
A RowBuffer used to set the values of user-defined fields of the attributed relationship.
Exception | Description |
---|---|
GeodatabaseException | A geodatabase-related exception has occurred. |
No row is created in the database.
The returned RowBuffer does not have an object ID value.
Values can be set on the row buffer and it can be used as an argument to CreateRelationship(Row,Row,RowBuffer). If values are set for the origin foreign key field or destination foreign key field, they will be overwritten by the origin primary key value and destination primary key value at relationship creation time.
