Remarks
The OpenTopology method can be used to open any existing topology in the workspace given its fully qualified name. Note that every topology in a geodatabase has a unique fully qualified name. Use the IDatabaseConnectionInfo interface to determine the User and Database (if applicable). ISQLSyntax::QualifyTableName can be used to determine the fully qualified name for a topology. Use the IWorkspace2::NameExists method to determine if a topology with the appropriate name exists in the geodatabase.
Some examples of how to use the name parameter of OpenTopology are shown below:
For topologies in a Personal or File Geodatabase:
MyTopology
MyTopology
For topologies in an Oracle ArcSDE Geodatabase (the owner prefix is unnecessary if you are connected as the owner of the topology):
gdb.MyTopology
gdb.MyTopology
