gda_g_type_to_string ()

const gchar *
gda_g_type_to_string (GType type);

Converts a GType to its string representation (use gda_g_type_from_string() for the operation in the other direction).

This function wraps g_type_name() but for common types it provides an easier to understand and remember name. For Example the G_TYPE_STRING is converted to "string" whereas g_type_name() converts it to "gchararray".

gda_g_type_from_string ()

GType
gda_g_type_from_string (const gchar *str);

Converts a named type to ts GType type (also see the gda_g_type_to_string() function).

This function is a wrapper around the g_type_from_name() function, but also recognizes some type synonyms such as:

gda_default_escape_string ()

gchar *
gda_default_escape_string (const gchar *string);

Escapes string to make it understandable by a DBMS. The escape method is very common and replaces any occurrence of "'" with "''" and "\" with "\"

gda_default_unescape_string ()

gchar *
gda_default_unescape_string (const gchar *string);

Do the reverse of gda_default_escape_string(): transforms any "''" into "'", any "\" into "\" and any "\'" into "'".

gda_identifier_hash ()

guint
gda_identifier_hash (const gchar *id);

computes a hash string from id , to be used in hash tables as a GHashFunc

gda_identifier_equal ()

gboolean
gda_identifier_equal (const gchar *id1,
                      const gchar *id2);

Does the same as strcmp(id1 , id2 ), but handles the case where id1 and/or id2 are enclosed in double quotes. can also be used in hash tables as a GEqualFunc.

gda_completion_list_get ()

gchar **
gda_completion_list_get (GdaConnection *cnc,
                         const gchar *sql,
                         gint start,
                         gint end);

Creates an array of strings (terminated by a NULL) corresponding to possible completions. If no completion is available, then the returned array contains just one NULL entry, and if it was not possible to try to compute a completions list, then NULL is returned.

gda_rfc1738_encode ()

gchar *
gda_rfc1738_encode (const gchar *string);

Encodes string using the RFC 1738 recommendations: the

<>"#%{}|\^~[]'`;/?:@=& and space characters are replaced by "%ab" where ab is the hexadecimal number corresponding to the character.

gda_rfc1738_decode ()

gboolean
gda_rfc1738_decode (gchar *string);

Decodes string using the RFC 1738 recommendations: the

<>"#%{}|\^~[]'`;/?:@=& and space characters are replaced by "%ab" where ab is the hexadecimal number corresponding to the character.

string should respect the RFC 1738 encoding. If this is not the case (for example if there is a "2z" because 2z is not an hexadecimal value), then the part with the problem is not decoded, and the function returns FALSE.

string is decoded in place, no new string gets created.

gda_dsn_split ()

void
gda_dsn_split (const gchar *string,
               gchar **out_dsn,
               gchar **out_username,
               gchar **out_password);

Extract the DSN, username and password from string . in string , the various parts are strings which are expected to be encoded using an RFC 1738 compliant encoding. If they are specified, the returned username and password strings are correctly decoded.

out_username and out_password may be set to NULL depending on string 's format.

gda_connection_string_split ()

void
gda_connection_string_split (const gchar *string,
                             gchar **out_cnc_params,
                             gchar **out_provider,
                             gchar **out_username,
                             gchar **out_password);

Extract the provider, connection parameters, username and password from string . in string , the various parts are strings which are expected to be encoded using an RFC 1738 compliant encoding. If they are specified, the returned provider, username and password strings are correctly decoded.

For example all the following connection strings:

PostgreSQL://meme:pass@DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server
PostgreSQL://meme@DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server;PASSWORD=pass
PostgreSQL://meme@DB_NAME=mydb;PASSWORD=pass;HOST=server
PostgreSQL://meme@PASSWORD=pass;DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server
PostgreSQL://DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server;USERNAME=meme;PASSWORD=pass
PostgreSQL://DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server;PASSWORD=pass;USERNAME=meme
PostgreSQL://DB_NAME=mydb;USERNAME=meme;PASSWORD=pass;HOST=server
PostgreSQL://PASSWORD=pass;USERNAME=meme;DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server
PostgreSQL://:pass@USERNAME=meme;DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server
PostgreSQL://:pass@DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server;USERNAME=meme

will return the following new strings (double quotes added here to delimit strings):

out_cnc_params: "DB_NAME=mydb;HOST=server"
out_provider: "PostgreSQL"
out_username: "meme"
out_password: "pass"

gda_parse_iso8601_date ()

gda_parse_iso8601_date (GDate *gdate,
                        const gchar *value);

Extracts date parts from value , and sets gdate 's contents

Accepted date format is "YYYY-MM-DD" (more or less than 4 digits for years and less than 2 digits for month and day are accepted). Years must be in the 1-65535 range, a limitation imposed by GDate.

gda_parse_iso8601_time ()

gboolean
gda_parse_iso8601_time (GdaTime *timegda,
                        const gchar *value);

Extracts time parts from value , and sets timegda 's contents

Accepted date format is "HH:MM:SS.ms" where TZ is +hour or -hour

gda_parse_iso8601_timestamp ()

gboolean
gda_parse_iso8601_timestamp (GdaTimestamp *timestamp,
                             const gchar *value);

Extracts date and time parts from value , and sets timestamp 's contents

Accepted date format is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.ms" where TZ is +hour or -hour

gda_parse_formatted_date ()

gboolean
gda_parse_formatted_date (GDate *gdate,
                          const gchar *value,

                          GDateDMY second,
                          GDateDMY third,
                          gchar sep);

This function is similar to gda_parse_iso8601_date() (with first being G_DATE_YEAR , second being G_DATE_MONTH , third being G_DATE_DAY and sep being '-') but allows one to specify the expected date format.
