gda_connection_add_event ()

void
gda_connection_add_event (GdaConnection *cnc,
                          GdaConnectionEvent *event);

Adds an event to the given connection. This function is usually called by providers, to inform clients of events that happened during some operation.

As soon as a provider (or a client, it does not matter) calls this function with an event object which is an error, the connection object emits the "error" signal, to which clients can connect to be informed of events.

WARNING: the reference to the event object is stolen by this function!

Parameters

cnc

a GdaConnection object.

 

event

is stored internally, so you don't need to unref it.

[skip]

Parameters

cnc

a GdaConnection object.

 

str

a format string (see the printf(3) documentation).

                       GError **error,
                       ...);

Propagates an update to store , the update's contents is represented by new_data , this function is primarily reserved to database providers.

For example tell store to update its list of tables, new_data should contain the same columns as the "_tables" table of store , and contain one row per table in the store; there should not be any more argument after the error argument.

Now, to update only one table, the new_data data model should have one row for the table to update (or no row at all if the table does not exist anymore), and have values for the primary key of the "_tables" table of store , namely "table_catalog", "table_schema" and "table_name".

a SELECT GdaStatement (compound statements not handled)

 

require_pk

TRUE if the created statement have to use a primary key

                               (GdaStatement *update_stmt,
                                GError **error);

Computes a SELECT statement which selects all the rows the update_stmt would update. Beware however that this GdaSqlStatement does not select anything (ie it would be rendered as "SELECT FROM ... WHERE ...") and before being usable, one needs to add some fields to actually select.

[skip]

Parameters

update_stmt

an UPDATE statement

 

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

 

Returns

a new GdaStatement if no error occurred, or NULL otherwise


gda_rewrite_sql_statement_for_null_parameters ()

                               (GdaSqlStatement *sqlst,
                                GdaSet *params,
                                gboolean *out_modified,
                                GError **error);

Modifies sqlst to take into account any parameter which might be NULL: if sqlst contains the equivalent of "xxx = <parameter definition>" and if that parameter is in params and its value is of type GDA_TYPE_NUL, then that part is replaced with "xxx IS NULL". It also handles the "xxx IS NOT NULL" transformation.

If out_modified is not NULL, then it will be set to TRUE if sqlst has been modified by this function, and to FALSE otherwise.

This function is used by provider's implementations to make sure one can use parameters with NULL values in statements without having to rewrite statements, as database usually don't consider that "xxx = NULL" is the same as "xxx IS NULL" when using parameters.

[skip]

Parameters

sqlst

a GdaSqlStatement.

[transfer full]

params

a GdaSet to be used as parameters when executing stmt

 

out_modified

a place to store the boolean which tells if stmt has been modified or not, or NULL.

[nullable]

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

 

Returns

the modified sqlst statement, or NULL if an error occurred.

gda_rewrite_statement_for_null_parameters ()

gboolean
gda_rewrite_statement_for_null_parameters
                               (GdaStatement *stmt,
                                GdaSet *params,
                                GdaStatement **out_stmt,
                                GError **error);

Modifies stmt to take into account any parameter which might be NULL: if stmt contains the equivalent of "xxx = <parameter definition>" and if that parameter is in params and its value is of type GDA_TYPE_NUL, then that part is replaced with "xxx IS NULL". It also handles the "xxx IS NOT NULL" transformation.

For example the following SELECT:

SELECT * FROM data WHERE id = ##id::int::null AND name = ##name::string

in case the "id" parameter is set to NULL, is converted to:

SELECT * FROM data WHERE id IS NULL AND name = ##name::string

if out_stmt is not NULL, then it will contain:

  • the modified statement if some modifications were required and no error occured (the function returns TRUE)

  • NULL if no modification to stmt were required and no erro occurred (the function returns FALSE)

  • NULL if an error occured (the function returns TRUE)

This function is used by provider's implementations to make sure one can use parameters with NULL values in statements without having to rewrite statements, as database usually don't consider that "xxx = NULL" is the same as "xxx IS NULL" when using parameters.

Parameters

stmt

a GdaStatement.

[transfer none]

params

a GdaSet to be used as parameters when executing stmt

 

out_stmt

a place to store the new GdaStatement, or NULL.

[transfer full][nullable]

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

 

Returns

TRUE if stmt needs to be transformed to handle NULL parameters, and FALSE otherwise

Computes a GdaSqlExpr expression which can be used in the WHERE clause of an UPDATE or DELETE statement when a row from the result of the stsel statement has to be modified.

If require_pk is TRUE then this function will return a non NULL GdaSqlExpr only if it can use a primary key of mtable . If require_pk is FALSE, then it will try to use a primary key of mtable , and if none is available, it will use all the columns of mtable to compute a condition statement.

                                  GError **error);

Checks for any error in node 's structure to make sure it is valid. This is the same as gda_sql_statement_check_structure() but for individual GdaSqlAnyPart parts. This function is mainly for database provider's implementations

gda_statement_rewrite_for_default_values ()

GdaSqlStatement *

                               (GdaStatement *stmt,
                                GdaSet *params,
                                gboolean remove,
                                GError **error);

Rewrites stmt and creates a new GdaSqlStatement where all the variables which are to a DEFAULT value (as returned by gda_holder_value_is_default()) are either removed from the statement (if remove is TRUE) or replaced by the "DEFAULT" keyword (if remove is FALSE).

This function is only useful for database providers' implementations which have to deal with default values when executing statements, and is only relevant in the case of INSERT or UPDATE statements (in the latter case an error is returned if remove is TRUE).

For example the

INSERT INTO mytable (id, name) VALUES (23, ##name::string)

is re-written into

INSERT INTO mytable (id, name) VALUES (23, DEFAULT)

if remove is FALSE and into

INSERT INTO mytable (id) VALUES (23)

if remove is TRUE.

[skip]

Parameters

stmt

a GdaStatement object

 

params

a GdaSet containing the variable's values to be bound when executing stmt

 

remove

set to TRUE if DEFAULT fields are removed, of FALSE if the "DEFAULT" keyword is used

 

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

 

Returns

a new GdaSqlStatement, or NULL if an error occurred

  • if surrounded by double quotes or single quotes, then just remove the quotes

  • otherwise convert to lower case

The quoted string:

  • must start and finish with the same single or double quotes character

str

a quoted string

 

Returns

str

Since: 5.0
