Functions

gchar * (*GdaSqlRenderingPSpecFunc) ()
gchar * (*GdaSqlRenderingExpr) ()
gchar * (*GdaSqlRenderingFunc) ()
gchar * gda_statement_to_sql_real ()

Types and Values

struct GdaSqlRenderingContext

Includes

#include <libgda/gda-statement-extra.h>

Description

Libgda is able to render a GdaStatement statement to SQL in a generic way (as close as possible to the SQL standard). However as each database has ultimately its own SQL dialect, some parts of the rendering has to be specialized.

Customization is achieved by providing custom implementations of SQL rendering functions for each kind of part in a GdaSqlStatement structure, all packed in a GdaSqlRenderingContext context structure. Functions which are not customized will be implemented by the default ones.

Functions

GdaSqlRenderingValue ()

gchar *
(*GdaSqlRenderingValue) (const GValue *value,
                         GdaSqlRenderingContext *context,
                         GError **error);

Rendering function type to render a GValue

Parameters

value

the GValue to render

  

context

Returns

a new string, or NULL if an error occurred

GdaSqlRenderingPSpecFunc ()

pointer to a gboolean which is set to TRUE if value should be considered as a default value

  

is_null

pointer to a gboolean which is set to TRUE if value should be considered as NULL

  

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

  

Returns

a new string, or NULL if an error occurred

GdaSqlRenderingExpr ()

gchar *
(*GdaSqlRenderingExpr) (GdaSqlExpr *expr,
                        GdaSqlRenderingContext *context,
                        gboolean *is_default,
                        gboolean *is_null,
                        GError **error);

Rendering function type to render a GdaSqlExpr

Parameters

expr

GdaSqlExpr to render

  

context

the rendering context

  

is_default

pointer to a gboolean which is set to TRUE if value should be considered as a default value

  

is_null

pointer to a gboolean which is set to TRUE if value should be considered as NULL

  

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

  

Returns

a new string, or NULL if an error occurred

GdaSqlRenderingFunc ()

gchar *
(*GdaSqlRenderingFunc) (GdaSqlAnyPart *node,
                        GdaSqlRenderingContext *context,
                        GError **error);

Function to render any GdaSqlAnyPart.

Parameters

node

a GdaSqlAnyPart pointer, to be cast to the correct type depending on which part the function has to render

  

context

the rendering context

  

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

  

Returns

a new string, or NULL if an error occurred

gda_statement_to_sql_real ()

gchar *
gda_statement_to_sql_real (GdaStatement *stmt,
                           GdaSqlRenderingContext *context,
                           GError **error);

Renders stmt to its SQL representation, using context to specify how each part of stmt must be rendered. This function is mainly used by database provider's implementations which require to specialize some aspects of SQL rendering to be adapted to the database,'s own SQL dialect (for example SQLite rewrites the 'FALSE' and 'TRUE' literals as '0' and 'NOT 0').

Parameters

stmt

a GdaStatement object

  

context

a GdaSqlRenderingContext context

  

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

  

Returns

a new string, or NULL if an error occurred

Types and Values
