## Detailed Description

Manages a connection to a data source.

This class offers access to all operations involving an opened connection to a database. Connection objects are obtained via the Client class.

Once obtained, applications can use a Connection to execute commands, run transactions, and get information about all objects stored in the underlying database.

## Member Function Documentation

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::add_savepoint | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) |

Adds a SAVEPOINT named name.

Parameters

  name | Name of the savepoint to add.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::async_cancel | ( | guint | task_id | ) |

Requests that a task be cancelled.

This operation may of may not have any effect depending on the task's status, even if it returns `true`. If it returns `false`, then the task has not been cancelled.

Since libgdamm 4.2:

Parameters

  task_id | A task ID returned by async_statement_execute().

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object> Gnome::Gda::Connection::async_fetch_result | ( | guint | task_id,
|  | GdaSet ** | last_insert_row
| ) |  |

Use this method to obtain the result of the execution of a statement which has been executed asynchronously by calling async_statement_execute().

This function is non locking and will return `0` (and no error will be set) if the statement has not been executed yet.

If the statement has been executed, this method returns the same value as statement_execute() would have if the statement had been executed synchronously.

Since libgdamm 4.2:

Parameters

  task_id | A task ID returned by async_statement_execute().
  last_insert_row | A place to store a new Gda::Set object which contains the values of the last inserted row, or `0`.

Returns
  A Object, or `0` if an error occurred.

guint Gnome::Gda::Connection::async_statement_execute | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Statement >& | stmt,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | params,
|  | StatementModelUsage | model_usage,
|  | const std::vector< GType > & | col_types,
|  | bool | need_last_insert_row = `false`
| ) |  |

This method is similar to statement_execute() but is asynchronous as it method returns immediately with a task ID.

It's up to the caller to use async_fetch_result() regularly to check if the statement's execution is finished.

It is possible to call the method several times to request several statements to be executed asynchronously, the statements will be executed in the order in which they were requested.

The parameters, if present, are copied and can be discarded or modified before the statement is actually executed. The stmt object is not copied but simply referenced (for performance reasons), and if it is modified before it is actually executed, then its execution will not occur. It is however safe to call Glib::object_unref() on it if it's not needed anymore.

The execution failure of any statement has no impact on the execution of other statements except for example if the connection has a transaction started and the failure invalidates the transaction (as decided by the database server).

Since libgdamm 4.2:

Parameters

  stmt | A Gda::Statement object.
  params | A Gda::Set object (which can be obtained using Gda::Statement::get_parameters()), or `0`.
  model_usage | In the case where stmt is a SELECT statement, specifies how the returned data model will be used.
  col_types | An array of GType to request each returned Gda::DataModel's column's GType, terminated with the G_TYPE_NONE.
  need_last_insert_row | `true` if the values of the last interted row must be computed.

Returns
  A task ID, or 0 if an error occurred (not an error regarding stmt itself as its execution has not yet started but any other error).

std::vector< Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object> > Gnome::Gda::Connection::batch_execute | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Batch >& | batch,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | params,
|  | StatementModelUsage | model_usage
| ) |  |

Executes all the statements contained in batch (in the order in which they were added to batch), and returns a list of Object objects, at most one Object for each statement; see statement_execute() for details about the returned objects.

If one of the statement fails, then none of the subsequent statement will be executed, and the method returns the list of Object created by the correct execution of the previous statements. If a transaction is required, then it should be started before calling this method.

Parameters

  batch | A Gda::Batch object which contains all the statements to execute.
  params | A Gda::Set object (which can be obtained using Gda::Batch::get_parameters()), or `0`.
  model_usage | Specifies how the returned data model(s) will be used, as a Gda::StatementModelUsage enum.

Returns
  A new list of Object objects.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::begin_transaction | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | TransactionIsolation | level
| ) |  |

Starts a transaction on the data source, identified by the name parameter.

Before starting a transaction, you can check whether the underlying provider does support transactions or not by using the supports_feature() function.

Parameters

  name | The name of the transation to start, or `0`.
  level | The requested transaction level (Gda::TRANSACTION_ISOLATION_UNKNOWN if not specified).

Returns
  `true` if the transaction was started successfully, `false` otherwise.

void Gnome::Gda::Connection::clear_events_list | ( |  | ) |

This function lets you clear the list of Gda::ConnectionEvent's of the given connection.

void Gnome::Gda::Connection::close | ( |  | ) |

Closes the connection to the underlying data source, but first emits the "conn_to_close" signal.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::commit_transaction | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) |

Commits the given transaction to the backend database.

You need to call begin_transaction() first.

Parameters

  name | The name of the transation to commit, or `0`.

Returns
  `true` if the transaction was finished successfully, `false` otherwise.

It is a wrapper around the Gda::ServerProvider::create_operation() method.

Parameters

  type | The type of operation requested.
  options | An optional list of parameters.

Returns
  A new Gda::ServerOperation object, or `0` in the connection's provider does not support the type type of operation or if an error occurred.

|  | const Glib::ustring & | auth_string = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | ConnectionOptions | options = `CONNECTION_OPTIONS_NONE`
| ) |  |
| static

Opens a connection given a provider ID and a connection string.

This allows applications to open connections without having to create a data source (DSN) in the configuration. The format of cnc_string is similar to PostgreSQL and MySQL connection strings. It is a semicolumn-separated series of <key>=

pairs, where each key and value are encoded as per RFC 1738, see gda_rfc1738_encode() for more information.

The possible keys depend on the provider, the "gda-sql-4.0 -L" command can be used to list the actual keys for each installed database provider.

For example the connection string to open an SQLite connection to a database file named "my_data.db" in the current directory would be `"DB_DIR=.;DB_NAME=my_data"`.

The cnc_string string must have the following format: "[<provider>://][<username>[:<password>]@]<connection_params>" (if <username> and/or <password> are provided, and auth_string is `0`, then these username and passwords will be used, and if <provider> is provided and provider_name is `0` then this provider will be used). Note that if provided, <username>, <password> and <provider> must be encoded as per RFC 1738, see gda_rfc1738_encode() for more information.

The auth_string must contain the authentication information for the server to accept the connection. It is a string containing semi-colon seperated named values, usually like "USERNAME=...;PASSWORD=..." where the ... are replaced by actual values. Note that each name and value must be encoded as per RFC 1738, see gda_rfc1738_encode() for more information.

The actual named parameters required depend on the provider being used, and that list is available as the <parameter>auth_params</parameter> member of the Gda::ProviderInfo structure for each installed provider (use Gda::Config::get_provider_info() to get it). Similarly to the format of the connection string, use the "gda-sql-4.0 -L" command to list the possible named parameters.

Additionally, it is possible to have the connection string respect the "<provider_name>://<real cnc string>" format, in which case the provider name and the real connection string will be extracted from that string (note that if provider_name is not `0` then it will still be used as the provider ID).\

This method may fail with a GDA_CONNECTION_ERROR domain error (see the Gda::ConnectionError error codes) or a Gda::CONFIG_ERROR domain error (see the Gda::ConfigError error codes).

Parameters

  provider_name | Provider ID to connect to, or `0`.
  cnc_string | Connection string.
  auth_string | Authentication string, or `0`.
  options | Options for the connection (see Gda::ConnectionOptions).

Returns
  A new Gda::Connection if connection opening was sucessfull or `0` if there was an error.

- if id is a reserved SQL keyword (such as SELECT, INSERT, ...)
- if id contains non allowed characters such as spaces, or if it starts with a digit
- in any other event as necessary for cnc, depending on the the options passed when opening the cnc connection, and specifically the GDA_CONNECTION_OPTIONS_SQL_IDENTIFIERS_CASE_SENSITIVE option.

One can safely pass an already quoted id to this method, either with quoting characters allowed by cnc or using the double quote (") character.

{4,0,3}

|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | params,
|  | StatementModelUsage | model_usage,
|  | Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | last_insert_row
| ) |  |

Executes stmt.

As stmt can, by desing (and if not abused), contain only one SQL statement, the return object will either be:

- a Gda::DataSelect object (which is also a Gda::DataModel) if stmt is a SELECT statement (usually a GDA_SQL_STATEMENT_SELECT, see Gda::SqlStatementType) containing the results of the SELECT. The resulting data model is by default read only, but modifications can be enabled, see the Gda::DataSelect's documentation for more information.
- a Gda::Set for any other SQL statement which correctly executed. In this case (if the provider supports it), then the Gda::Set may contain value holders named: <itemizedlist> <listitem>a (`int`) Gda::Holder named "IMPACTED_ROWS"
- a (GObject) Gda::Holder named "EVENT" which contains a Gda::ConnectionEvent </listitem> </itemizedlist>

If last_insert_row is not `0` and stmt is an INSERT statement, then it will contain (if the provider used by cnc supports it) a new Gda::Set object composed of value holders named "+<column number>" starting at column 0 which contain the actual inserted values. For example if a table is composed of an 'id' column which is auto incremented and a 'name' column then the execution of a "INSERT INTO mytable (name) VALUES ('joe')" query will return a Gda::Set with two holders:

- one with the '+0' ID which may for example contain 1 (note that its "name" property should be "id")
- one with the '+1' ID which will contain 'joe' (note that its "name" property should be "name")

This method may fail with a Gda::SERVER_PROVIDER_ERROR domain error (see the Gda::ServerProviderError error codes).

Note
  If stmt is a SELECT statement which has some parameters and if params is `0`, then the statement can't be executed and this method will return `0`.
  If stmt is a SELECT statement which has some parameters and if params is not `0` but contains some invalid parameters, then the statement can't be executed and this method will return `0`, unless the model_usage has the GDA_STATEMENT_MODEL_ALLOW_NOPARAM flag.
  If stmt is a SELECT statement which has some parameters and if params is not `0` but contains some invalid parameters and if model_usage has the GDA_STATEMENT_MODEL_ALLOW_NOPARAM flag, then the returned data model will contain no row but will have all the correct columns (even though some of the columns might report as GDA_TYPE_NULL). In this case, if (after this method call) any of params' parameters change then the resulting data model will re-run itself, see the GdaDataSelect's auto-reset property for more information.
  if model_usage does not contain the GDA_STATEMENT_MODEL_RANDOM_ACCESS or GDA_STATEMENT_MODEL_CURSOR_FORWARD flags, then the default will be to return a random access data model
  If stmt is a SELECT statement which returns blob values (of type Gda::TYPE_BLOB), then an implicit transaction will have been started by the database provider, and it's up to the caller to close the transaction (which will then be locked) once all the blob ressources have been liberated (when the returned data model is destroyed). See the section about Binary large objects (BLOBs) for more information.

Also see the provider's limitations, and the Advanced GdaDataSelect usage sections.

Parameters

  stmt | A Gda::Statement object.
  params | A Gda::Set object (which can be obtained using Gda::Statement::get_parameters()), or `0`.
  model_usage | In the case where stmt is a SELECT statement, specifies how the returned data model will be used.
  last_insert_row | A place to store a new Gda::Set object which contains the values of the last inserted row, or `0`.

Returns
  A Object, or `0` if an error occurred.

|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | params,
|  | Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | last_insert_row
| ) |  |

Executes a non-selection statement on the given connection.

The gda_execute_non_select_command() method can be easier to use if one prefers to use some SQL directly.

This function returns the number of rows affected by the execution of stmt, or -1 if an error occurred, or -2 if the connection's provider does not return the number of rows affected.

This function is just a convenience function around the statement_execute() function. See the documentation of the statement_execute() for information about the params list of parameters.

See statement_execute() form more information about last_insert_row.

Parameters

  stmt | A Gda::Statement object.
  params | A Gda::Set object (which can be obtained using Gda::Statement::get_parameters()), or `0`.
  last_insert_row | A place to store a new Gda::Set object which contains the values of the last inserted row, or `0`.

Returns
  The number of rows affected (>=0) or -1 or -2.

|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | params,
|  | StatementModelUsage | model_usage,
|  | const std::vector< GType > & | col_types
| ) |  |

Executes a selection command on the given connection.

This function returns a Gda::DataModel resulting from the SELECT statement, or `0` if an error occurred.

This function is just a convenience function around the statement_execute() function.

See the documentation of the statement_execute() for information about the params list of parameters.

Parameters

  stmt | A Gda::Statement object.
  params | A Gda::Set object (which can be obtained using Gda::Statement::get_parameters()), or `0`.
  model_usage | Specifies how the returned data model will be used as a Gda::StatementModelUsage enum.
  col_types | An array of GType to request each returned Gda::DataModel's column's GType, terminated with the G_TYPE_NONE value. Any value left to 0 will make the database provider determine the real GType. col_types can also be `0` if no column type is specified.

Returns
  A Gda::DataModel containing the data returned by the data source, or `0` if an error occurred.

| ) |  |

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::statement_prepare | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Statement >& | stmt | ) |

Ask the database accessed through the cnc connection to prepare the usage of stmt.

This is only useful if stmt will be used more than once (however some database providers may always prepare statements before executing them).

This function is also useful to make sure stmt is fully understood by the database before actually executing it.

Note however that it is also possible that statement_prepare() fails when statement_execute() does not fail (this will usually be the case with statements such as <![CDATA["SELECT* FROM ##tablename::string"]]> because database usually don't allow variables to be used in place of a table name).

Parameters

  stmt | A Gda::Statement object.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

  stmt | A Statement object..
  flags | SQL rendering flags, as StatementSqlFlag OR'ed values

Exceptions

  ConnectionError |

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::supports_feature | ( | ConnectionFeature | feature | ) | const

Asks the underlying provider for if a specific feature is supported.

Parameters

  feature | Feature to ask for.

Returns
  `true` if the provider supports it, `false` if not.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::update_meta_store | ( |  | ) |

Update the full meta store information.

Note that this may take some time for big databases

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::update_meta_store | ( | const Glib::ustring & | id | ) |

Update the meta store information id.

This can speed up the update of the meta store if you only need a specific information

Parameters

  id | An id for the information to update (see http://library.gnome.org/devel/libgda/unstable/information_schema.html)

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::update_meta_store_data_types | ( |  | ) |

Update the meta store information for the data types.

This can speed up the update of the meta store if you only need the data types.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::update_meta_store_table | ( | const Glib::ustring & | table_name,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | schema_name = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  |

Update the meta store information for the table named table_name.

This can speed up the update of the meta store if you only need the information for a specific table

Parameters

  table_name | Name of the table where the information is needed
  schema_name | Name of the schema is in, or "" to update all tables with the given name. As with update_meta_store_table_names(), specifying a non-empty schema_name speeds up the operation, just not as significantly as with update_meta_store_table_names() because the operation itself is already pretty quick.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::update_meta_store_table_names | ( | const Glib::ustring & | schema_name = `Glib::ustring()` | ) |

Update the meta store information for the table names.

This can speed up the update of the meta store if you only need the list of table names.

Parameters

  schema_name | Name of the schema whose tables to update, or "" to update all tables. For example, for postgresql this function takes a considerable amount of time when doing this. If you don't need information about internal postgresql tables, then you can speed up the process by only updating the tables for the "public" schema. Unfortunately, schema names are not common between different database systems.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::Connection::update_row_in_table | ( | const Glib::ustring & | table,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | condition_column_name,
|  | const Value& | condition_value,
|  | const std::vector< Glib::ustring > & | col_names,
|  | const std::vector< Value >& | values
| ) |  |

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::Connection::value_to_sql_string | ( | const Value& | from | ) | const

Produces a fully quoted and escaped string from a GValue.

Parameters

  from | Value to convert from.

Returns
  Escaped and quoted value or `0` if not supported.
