the criteria in the pWhereClause.
-If typeOfUpd is DB\_UPD\_KEYFIELDS, then the current values in the bound columns
+If typeOfUpdate is DB\_UPD\_KEYFIELDS, then the current values in the bound columns
are used to determine which row(s) in the table are to be updated. The
exception to this is when a datasource supports ROW IDs (Oracle). The ROW ID
column is used for efficiency purposes when available.

sure you have adequate space allocated for the SQL statement, allocate
DB\_MAX\_STATEMENT\_LEN bytes.}

\wxheading{Parameters}
-\docparam{idxName}{Name of the Index. Name must be unique within the table
+\docparam{IndexName}{Name of the Index. Name must be unique within the table
space of the datasource.}
\docparam{unique}{Indicates if this index is unique.}

+\docparam{numIndexColumns}{Number of columns in the index.}

\docparam{attemptDrop}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Indicates if the function should try
to execute a \helpref{wxDbTable::DropIndex}{wxdbtabledropindex} on the index
name provided before trying to create the index name. Default is true.}
The first parameter, index name, must be unique and should be given a
meaningful name. Common practice is to include the table name as a prefix
in the index name (e.g. For table PARTS, you might want to call your index
-PARTS\_IDX1). This will allow you to easily view all
+PARTS\_Index1). This will allow you to easily view all
of the indexes defined for a given table grouped together alphabetically.
The second parameter indicates if the index is unique or not. Uniqueness

In the third parameter, specify how many columns are in your index. This
-number must match the number of columns defined in the 'pIdxDefs' parameter.

The fourth parameter specifies which columns make up the index using the

things, the column name and the sort order (ascending / descending). See

+Using the first form of this function, if the column definition is not able

Both forms of this function provide a shortcut for defining the columns in
your wxDbTable object. Use this function in any derived wxDbTable
constructor when describing the column/columns in the wxDbTable object.
