Dictionary object.
Previous versions of Libgda relied on an XML based file to store dictionary information, such as the database's schema (tables, views, etc) and various other information. The problems were that it was difficult for an application to integrate its own data into the dictionary and that there were some performances problems as the XML file needed to be parsed (and converted into its own in-memory structure) before any data could be read out of it.
The new dictionary now relies on a database structure to store its data (see the database schema section for a detailled description). The actual database can be a single file (using an SQLite database), an entirely in memory database (also using an SQLite database), or a more conventional backend such as a PostgreSQL database for a shared dictionary on a server.

Glib::RefPtr<DataModel> Gnome::Gda::MetaStore::create_modify_data_model | ( | const Glib::ustring & | table_name | ) |
Creates a new Gda::DataModelArray data model which can be used, after being correctly filled, with the gda_meta_store_modify*() methods.
table_name | The name of a table present in store. |
Glib::RefPtr<DataModel> Gnome::Gda::MetaStore::extract | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql | ) |
Extracts some data stored in store using a custom SELECT query.
If the select_sql filter involves SQL identifiers (such as table or column names), then the values should have been adapted using sql_identifier_quote().
For more information about SQL identifiers are represented in store, see the meta data section about SQL identifiers.
select_sql | A SELECT statement. |
Varargs | A list of (variable name (gchar *), GValue *value) terminated with 0 , representing values for all the variables mentioned in select_sql. If there is no variable then this part can be omitted. |
0
if an error occurred. bool Gnome::Gda::MetaStore::get_attribute_value | ( | const Glib::ustring & | att_name, |
Glib::ustring & | att_value | ||
) |
The Gda::MetaStore object maintains a list of (name,value) attributes (attributes names starting with a '_' character are for internal use only and cannot be altered).
This method and the set_attribute_value() method allows the user to add, set or remove attributes specific to their usage.
This method allows to get the value of a attribute stored in store. The returned attribute value is placed at att_value, the caller is responsible for free that string.
If there is no attribute named att_name then att_value is set to 0
and error will contain the GDA_META_STORE_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_FOUND_ERROR error code, and false
is returned.
att_name | Name of the attribute to get. |
att_value | The place to store the attribute value. |
true
if no error occurred. Glib::RefPtr<Connection> Gnome::Gda::MetaStore::get_internal_connection | ( | ) |
Get a pointer to the Gda::Connection object internally used by store to store its contents.
The returned connection can be used to access some other data than the one managed by store itself. The returned object is not owned by the caller (if you need to keep it, then use Glib::object_ref()). Do not close the connection.

bool Gnome::Gda::MetaStore::modify | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql, |
const Glib::RefPtr< DataModel >& | data_model, | ||
const Glib::ustring & | condition | ||
) |
Propagates an update to store, the update's contents is represented by new_data, this function is primarily reserved to database providers.
For example tell store to update its list of tables, new_data should contain the same columns as the "_tables" table of store, and contain one row per table in the store; there should not be any more argument after the error argument.
Now, to update only one table, the new_data data model should have one row for the table to update (or no row at all if the table does not exist anymore), and have values for the primary key of the "_tables" table of store, namely "table_catalog", "table_schema" and "table_name".
table_name | The name of the table to modify within store. |
new_data | A Gda::DataModel containing the new data to set in table_name, or 0 (treated as a data model with no row at all). |
condition | SQL expression (which may contain variables) defining the rows which are being obsoleted by new_data, or 0 . |
Varargs | A list of (variable name (gchar *), GValue *value) terminated with 0 , representing values for all the variables mentioned in condition. |
true

Propagates an update to store, the update's contents is represented by new_data, this function is primarily reserved to database providers.
context | A Gda::MetaContext context describing what to modify in store. |
new_data | A Gda::DataModel containing the new data to set in table_name, or 0 (treated as a data model with no row at all). |

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<Connection> > Gnome::Gda::MetaStore::property_cnc | ( | ) | const |
Connection object internally used.
You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.
bool Gnome::Gda::MetaStore::schema_add_custom_object | ( | const Glib::ustring & | xml_description | ) |
The internal database used by store can be 'augmented' with some user-defined database objects (such as tables or views).
This method allows one to add a new database object.
If the internal database already contains the object, then:
true

The partial DTD for this XML description of the object to add is the following (the top node must be a
a <view>): <![CDATA[<!ELEMENT table (column*,check*,fkey*,unique*)> <!ATTLIST table name NMTOKEN R::EQUIRED>
