## Detailed Description

Base class for all the DBMS providers.

The ServerProvider class is an abstract class which all the DBMS providers must inherit, and implement its virtual methods.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::~ServerProvider | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

## Member Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr<ServerOperation> Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::create_operation | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | ServerOperationType | type,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Set >& | options
| ) |  |

Creates a new Gda::ServerOperation object which can be modified in order to perform the type type of action.

The options can contain:

- named values which ID is a path in the resulting GdaServerOperation object, to initialize some value
- named values which may change the contents of the GdaServerOperation, see this section for more information

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object which will be used to perform an action, or `0`.
  type | The type of operation requested.
  options | An optional list of parameters.

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

Glib::RefPtr<ServerOperation> Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::create_operation | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | ServerOperationType | type
| ) |  |

Creates a new Gda::ServerOperation object which can be modified in order to perform the type type of action.

The options can contain: <itemizedlist> <listitem>named values which ID is a path in the resulting GdaServerOperation object, to initialize some value</listitem> <listitem>named values which may change the contents of the GdaServerOperation, see this section for more information</listitem> </itemizedlist>

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object which will be used to perform an action, or `0`.
  type | The type of operation requested.

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

Glib::RefPtr<SqlParser> Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::create_parser | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc | ) |

Creates a new Gda::SqlParser object which is adapted to provider (and possibly depending on cnc for the actual database version).

If prov does not have its own parser, then `0` is returned, and a general SQL parser can be obtained using Gda::SqlParser::new().

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection, or `0`.

Returns
  A new Gda::SqlParser object, or `0`.

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::escape_string | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | str
| ) |  | const

Escapes str for use within an SQL command (to avoid SQL injection attacks).

Note that the returned value still needs to be enclosed in single quotes before being used in an SQL statement.

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object, or `0`.
  str | A string to escape.

Returns
  A new string suitable to use in SQL statements.

std::string Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::find_file | ( | const std::string & | inst_dir,
|  | const std::string & | filename
| ) |  |

Finds the location of a filename.

This function should only be used by database provider's implementations

Parameters

  inst_dir | Directory where prov is installed.
  filename | Name of the file to find.

Returns
  The complete path to filename, or `0` if not found.

|  | GType | type
| ) |  | const

Get the name of the most common data type which has type type.

The returned value may be `0` either if the provider does not implement that method, or if there is no DBMS data type which could contain data of the g_type type (for example `0` may be returned if a DBMS has integers only up to 4 bytes and a G_TYPE_INT64 is requested).

Parameters

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object.

Returns
  A (read only) string, or `0` if an error occurred.

static GType Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::get_type | ( |  | ) |

bool Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::perform_operation | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< ServerOperation >& | op
| ) |  |

Performs the operation described by op.

Note that op is not destroyed by this method and can be reused.

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object which will be used to perform the action, or `0`.
  op | A Gda::ServerOperation object.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::perform_operation_default | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< ServerOperation >& | op
| ) |  |

Performs the operation described by op, using the SQL from the rendering of the operation.

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object which will be used to perform an action, or `0`.
  op | A Gda::ServerOperation object.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::render_operation | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< ServerOperation >& | op
| ) |  |

Creates an SQL statement (possibly using some specific extensions of the DBMS) corresponding to the op operation.

Note that the returned string may actually contain more than one SQL statement.

This function's purpose is mainly informative to get the actual SQL code which would be executed to perform the operation; to actually perform the operation, use perform_operation().

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object which will be used to render the action, or `0`.
  op | A Gda::ServerOperation object.

Returns
  A new string, or `0` if an error occurred or operation cannot be rendered as SQL.

Value Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::string_to_value | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | string,
|  | GType | prefered_type,
|  | Glib::ustring & | dbms_type
| ) |  | const

Use provider to create a new Value from a single string representation.

The preferred_type can optionally ask provider to return a Value of the requested type (but if such a value can't be created from string, then `0` is returned); pass G_TYPE_INVALID if any returned type is acceptable.

The returned value is either a new Value or `0` in the following cases:

- string cannot be converted to preferred_type type
- the provider does not handle preferred_type
- the provider could not make a Value from string

If dbms_type is not `0`, then if will contain a constant string representing the database type used for the conversion if the conversion was successfull, or `0` otherwise.

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object, or `0`.
  string | The SQL string to convert to a value.
  preferred_type | A Type, or G_TYPE_INVALID.
  dbms_type | Place to get the actual database type used if the conversion succeeded, or `0`.

Returns
  A new Value, or `0`.

bool Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::supports_feature | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | ConnectionFeature | feature
| ) |  | const

Tests if a feature is supported.

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object, or `0`.
  feature | Gda::ConnectionFeature feature to test.

Returns
  `true` if feature is supported.

bool Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::supports_operation | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | ServerOperationType | type,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Set >& | options
| ) |  | const

Tells if provider supports the type of operation on the cnc connection, using the (optional) options parameters.

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object which would be used to perform an action, or `0`.
  type | The type of operation requested.
  options | A list of named parameters, or `0`.

Returns
  `true` if the operation is supported.

bool Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::supports_operation | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | ServerOperationType | type
| ) |  | const

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::unescape_string | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | str
| ) |  | const

Unescapes str for use within an SQL command.

This is the exact opposite of escape_string().

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object, or `0`.
  str | A string to escape.

Returns
  A new string.

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::ServerProvider::value_to_sql_string | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Value& | from
| ) |  | const

Produces a fully quoted and escaped string from a GValue.

Parameters

  cnc | A Gda::Connection object, or `0`.
  from | Value to convert from.

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