Detailed Description

executes an sql query and retrieves results

The abstract superclass of SQL query classes. Instances of subclasses of vtkSQLQuery are created using the GetQueryInstance() function in vtkSQLDatabase. To implement a query connection for a new database type, subclass both vtkSQLDatabase and vtkSQLQuery, and implement the required functions. For the query class, this involves the following:

Execute() - Execute the query on the database. No results need to be retrieved at this point, unless you are performing caching.

GetNumberOfFields() - After Execute() is performed, returns the number of fields in the query results.

GetFieldName() - The name of the field at an index.

GetFieldType() - The data type of the field at an index.

NextRow() - Advances the query results by one row, and returns whether there are more rows left in the query.

DataValue() - Extract a single data value from the current row.

Begin/Rollback/CommitTransaction() - These methods are optional but recommended if the database supports transactions.

Thanks:: Thanks to Andrew Wilson from Sandia National Laboratories for his work on the database classes.

virtual const char* vtkSQLQuery::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkRowQuery.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLQuery, vtkODBCQuery, vtkPostgreSQLQuery, and vtkSQLiteQuery.

static int vtkSQLQuery::IsTypeOf ( const char * name ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLQuery, vtkODBCQuery, vtkPostgreSQLQuery, and vtkSQLiteQuery.

virtual int vtkSQLQuery::IsA ( const char * name ) [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

static vtkSQLQuery* vtkSQLQuery::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject * o ) [static]

void vtkSQLQuery::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)			`[virtual]`

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkRowQuery.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLQuery, vtkODBCQuery, vtkPostgreSQLQuery, and vtkSQLiteQuery.

virtual bool vtkSQLQuery::SetQuery ( const char * query ) [virtual]

The query string to be executed. Since some databases will process the query string as soon as it's set, this method returns a boolean to indicate success or failure.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLQuery, vtkODBCQuery, and vtkSQLiteQuery.

virtual const char* vtkSQLQuery::GetQuery ( ) [virtual]

The query string to be executed. Since some databases will process the query string as soon as it's set, this method returns a boolean to indicate success or failure.

Reimplemented in vtkODBCQuery.

bool vtkSQLQuery::IsActive ( ) [inline, virtual]

Return true if the query is active (i.e. execution was successful and results are ready to be fetched). Returns false on error or inactive query.

Implements vtkRowQuery.

Definition at line 89 of file vtkSQLQuery.h.

virtual bool vtkSQLQuery::Execute ( ) [pure virtual]

Execute the query. This must be performed before any field name or data access functions are used.

Implements vtkRowQuery.

Implemented in vtkMySQLQuery, vtkODBCQuery, vtkPostgreSQLQuery, and vtkSQLiteQuery.

virtual bool vtkSQLQuery::BeginTransaction ( ) [inline, virtual]

Begin, commit, or roll back a transaction. If the underlying database does not support transactions these calls will do nothing.

Definition at line 98 of file vtkSQLQuery.h.

virtual bool vtkSQLQuery::CommitTransaction ( ) [inline, virtual]

Begin, commit, or roll back a transaction. If the underlying database does not support transactions these calls will do nothing.

virtual vtkSQLDatabase* vtkSQLQuery::GetDatabase ( ) [virtual]

Return the database associated with the query.

virtual bool vtkSQLQuery::BindParameter	(	int	index,
		unsigned char	value
	)			`[virtual]`

Bind a parameter to a placeholder in a query. A full discussion of this feature is beyond the scope of this header file, but in short, here's how it works: Instead of saying "SELECT foo FROM mytable WHERE myfield = 12345" you can say "SELECT foo FROM mytable WHERE myfield = ?". The ? character is a placeholder for a parameter that must then be bound. Call BindParameter(0, 12345) to bind the integer value 12345 to that field. Placeholders are indexed starting at 0. You are responsible for making sure that the types match when you call BindParameter. You don't have to get it precisely correct: in general, the SQL driver is smart enough to do things like cast a short to a long or a float to a double. Bound parameters were introduced in ANSI SQL 92. Please see that standard for more information. Most of these methods are excluded from wrapping because the Java wrapper treats all integer types from char up through 64-bit long as 'int'. This is incorrect behavior but what else am I going to do? Finally, the default implementation for BindParameter(int, vtkVariant) dispatches to one of the more type-specific versions. It should be OK to use in database drivers without modification.

virtual vtkStdString vtkSQLQuery::EscapeString	(	vtkStdString	s,
		bool	addSurroundingQuotes = `true`
	)			`[virtual]`

Escape a string for inclusion into an SQL query. If addSurroundingQuotes is true, then quotation marks appropriate to the backend database will be added to enclose the escaped string. This argument defaults to true. A default, simple-minded implementation is provided for database backends that do not provde a way to escape strings for use inside queries.

Reimplemented in vtkMySQLQuery, and vtkPostgreSQLQuery.

char* vtkSQLQuery::EscapeString	(	const char *	src,
		bool	addSurroundingQuotes
	)

Escape a string for inclusion into an SQL query. This method exists to provide a wrappable version of the method that takes and returns vtkStdString objects. You are responsible for calling delete [] on the character array returned by this method. This method simply calls the vtkStdString variant and thus need not be re-implemented by subclasses.

void vtkSQLQuery::SetDatabase ( vtkSQLDatabase * db ) [protected]

Set the database associated with the query. This is only to be called by the corresponding database class on creation of the query in GetQueryInstance().
