NAME
       DtMmdbSectionGetData -- obtains the data for a section

SYNOPSIS
       #include <DtMmdb.h>
       const char* DtMmdbSectionGetData(
       DtMmdbInfoRequest* request,
       unsigned int* length);

DESCRIPTION
       The  DtMmdbSectionGetData  function returns the data for the specified section. Do not use the free function on the returned pointer. Table
       lookup is involved if the section identifier is specified by the locator_ptr field.

ARGUMENTS
       request	 Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field and either the section's Database Engine identifier (in  the  primary_oid
		 field) or the section's logical identifier (in the locator_ptr field). If both of these fields have a value, DtMmdbSectionGetData
		 ignores the locator_ptr value.

       length	 Specifies the variable to receive the length of the returned data, if the returned pointer to the data is not NULL.

RETURN VALUE
       If DtMmdbSectionGetData completes successfully, it returns a pointer to a NULL-terminated data string.  If it  fails,  it  returns  a  NULL
       pointer.

EXAMPLE
       The following shows how a DtMmdbSectionGetData call might be coded.

       DtMmdbInfoRequest request;
       /* fill the request */
       DtMmdbSectionGetData(&request, 0);
