Detailed Description

maintain a connection to an sql database

Abstract base class for all SQL database connection classes. Manages a connection to the database, and is responsible for creating instances of the associated vtkSQLQuery objects associated with this class in order to perform execute queries on the database. To allow connections to a new type of database, create both a subclass of this class and vtkSQLQuery, and implement the required functions:

Open() - open the database connection, if possible. Close() - close the connection. GetQueryInstance() - create and return an instance of the vtkSQLQuery subclass associated with the database type.

The subclass should also provide API to set connection parameters.

This class also provides the function EffectSchema to transform a database schema into a SQL database.

Thanks:
Thanks to Andrew Wilson from Sandia National Laboratories for his work on the database classes and for the SQLite example. Thanks to David Thompson and Philippe Pebay from Sandia National Laboratories for implementing this class.

◆ GetTables()

virtual vtkStringArray * vtkSQLDatabase::GetTables ( )
pure virtual

Get the list of tables from the database.

Implemented in vtkQtSQLDatabase, vtkMySQLDatabase, vtkODBCDatabase, vtkPostgreSQLDatabase, and vtkSQLiteDatabase.

◆ GetRecord()

virtual vtkStringArray * vtkSQLDatabase::GetRecord ( const char *  table)
pure virtual

◆ GetTablePreamble()

virtual vtkStdString vtkSQLDatabase::GetTablePreamble ( bool  )
inlinevirtual

Return the SQL string with the syntax of the preamble following a "CREATE TABLE" SQL statement.

NB: by default, this method returns an empty string. It must be overwritten for those SQL backends which allow such preambles such as, e.g., MySQL.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLDatabase.

Definition at line 150 of file vtkSQLDatabase.h.

◆ GetColumnSpecification()

virtual vtkStdString vtkSQLDatabase::GetColumnSpecification ( vtkSQLDatabaseSchema schema,
int  tblHandle,
int  colHandle 
)
virtual

Return the SQL string with the syntax to create a column inside a "CREATE TABLE" SQL statement.

NB: this method implements the following minimally-portable syntax:

<column name> <column type> <column attributes>

It must be overwritten for those SQL backends which have a different syntax such as, e.g., MySQL.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLDatabase, vtkODBCDatabase, vtkPostgreSQLDatabase, and vtkSQLiteDatabase.

◆ GetIndexSpecification()

virtual vtkStdString vtkSQLDatabase::GetIndexSpecification ( vtkSQLDatabaseSchema schema,
int  tblHandle,
int  idxHandle,
bool &  skipped 
)
virtual

Return the SQL string with the syntax to create an index inside a "CREATE TABLE" SQL statement.

NB1: this method implements the following minimally-portable syntax:

<index type> [<index name>] (<column name 1>,... )

It must be overwritten for those SQL backends which have a different syntax such as, e.g., MySQL. NB2: this method does not assume that INDEX creation is supported within a CREATE TABLE statement. Therefore, should such an INDEX arise in the schema, a CREATE INDEX statement is returned and skipped is set to true. Otherwise, skipped will always be returned false.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLDatabase, and vtkODBCDatabase.

◆ GetTriggerSpecification()

virtual vtkStdString vtkSQLDatabase::GetTriggerSpecification ( vtkSQLDatabaseSchema schema,
int  tblHandle,
int  trgHandle 
)
virtual

Return the SQL string with the syntax to create a trigger using a "CREATE TRIGGER" SQL statement.

NB1: support is contingent on VTK_FEATURE_TRIGGERS being recognized as a supported feature. Not all backends (e.g., SQLite) support it. NB2: this method implements the following minimally-portable syntax:

<trigger name> {BEFORE | AFTER} <event> ON <table name> FOR EACH ROW <trigger action>

It must be overwritten for those SQL backends which have a different syntax such as, e.g., PostgreSQL.

◆ CreateFromURL()

static vtkSQLDatabase * vtkSQLDatabase::CreateFromURL ( const char *  URL)
static

Create a the proper subclass given a URL.

The URL format for SQL databases is a true URL of the form: 'protocol://'[[username[':'password]'@']hostname[':'port]]'/'[dbname] .

◆ EffectSchema()

virtual bool vtkSQLDatabase::EffectSchema ( vtkSQLDatabaseSchema ,
bool  dropIfExists = false 
)
virtual

Effect a database schema.

◆ RegisterCreateFromURLCallback()

static void vtkSQLDatabase::RegisterCreateFromURLCallback ( CreateFunction  callback)
static

Provides mechanism to register/unregister additional callbacks to create concrete subclasses of vtkSQLDatabase to handle different protocols.

The registered callbacks are tried in the order they are registered.

◆ UnRegisterCreateFromURLCallback()

static void vtkSQLDatabase::UnRegisterCreateFromURLCallback ( CreateFunction  callback)
static

Provides mechanism to register/unregister additional callbacks to create concrete subclasses of vtkSQLDatabase to handle different protocols.

The registered callbacks are tried in the order they are registered.

◆ UnRegisterAllCreateFromURLCallbacks()

static void vtkSQLDatabase::UnRegisterAllCreateFromURLCallbacks ( )
static

Provides mechanism to register/unregister additional callbacks to create concrete subclasses of vtkSQLDatabase to handle different protocols.

The registered callbacks are tried in the order they are registered.

◆ DATABASE()

static vtkInformationObjectBaseKey * vtkSQLDatabase::DATABASE ( )
static

Stores the database class pointer as an information key.

This is currently used to store database pointers as part of 'data on demand' data objects. For example: The application may have a table/tree/whatever of documents, the data structure is storing the meta-data but not the full text. Further down the pipeline algorithms or views may want to retrieve additional information (full text)for specific documents.

◆ ParseURL()

virtual bool vtkSQLDatabase::ParseURL ( const char *  url)
protectedpure virtual

Subclasses should override this method to determine connection parameters given the URL.

This is called by CreateFromURL() to initialize the instance. Look at CreateFromURL() for details about the URL format.

Implemented in vtkQtSQLDatabase, vtkMySQLDatabase, vtkODBCDatabase, vtkPostgreSQLDatabase, and vtkSQLiteDatabase.
