## Detailed Description

Data models returned by the execution of a SELECT statement.

This data model implements the Gda::DataModel interface and is the required base object when database providers implement a data model returned when a SELECT statement has been executed. As the GdaDataModel interface is implemented, consult the API to access and modify the data held in a GdaDataSelect object.

The default behaviour however is to disallow modifications, and this section documents how to characterize a Gda::DataSelect to allow modifications. Once this is done, any modification done to the data model whill be propagated to the modified table in the database using INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statements.

After any modification, it is still possible to read values from the data model (even values for rows which have been modified or inserted). The data model might then execute some SELECT statement to fetch some actualized values. Note: there is a corner case where a modification made to a row would make the row not selected at first in the data model (for example is the original SELECT statement included a clause "WHERE id < 100" and the modification sets the "id" value to 110), then the row will still be in the data model even though it would not be if the SELECT statement which execution created the data model in the first place was re-run.

## Member Function Documentation

void Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::compute_columns_attributes | ( | ) |

Computes correct attributes for each of model's columns, which includes the "NOT <tt>0</tt>" attribute, the default value, the precision and scale for numeric values.

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.

void Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::compute_modification_statements | ( | ) |

Makes model try to compute INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements to be used when modifying model's contents.

Note:
  any modification statement set using set_modification_statement() will first be unset

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred. If `false` is returned, then some modification statement may still have been computed.

void Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::compute_row_selection_condition | ( | ) |

Offers the same features as set_row_selection_condition() but the expression is computed from the meta data associated to the connection being used when model was created.

NOTE1: make sure the meta data associated to the connection is up to date before using this method, see Gda::Connection::update_meta_store().

NOTE2: if the SELECT statement from which model has been created uses more than one table, or if the table used does not have any primary key, then this method will fail

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.

Glib::RefPtr<Connection> Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::get_connection | ( | ) |

Get a pointer to the Gda::Connection object which was used when model was created (and which may be used internally by model).

Returns:

void Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::rerun | ( | ) |

Requests that model be re-run to have an updated result.

If an error occurs, then model will not be changed.

Since libgdamm 4.2:

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.

void Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::set_modification_statement | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Statement >& | mod_stmt ) |

Informs model that it should allow modifications to the data in some columns and some rows using mod_stmt to propagate those modifications into the database.

If mod_stmt is: <itemizedlist> <listitem>an UPDATE statement, then all the rows in model will be modifyable</listitem> <listitem>a DELETE statement, then it will be possible to delete rows in model </listitem> <listitem>in INSERT statement, then it will be possible to add some rows to model </listitem> <listitem>any other statement, then this method will return an error</listitem> </itemizedlist>

This method can be called several times to specify different types of modification.

If mod_stmt is an UPDATE or DELETE statement then it should have a WHERE part which identifies a unique row in model (please note that this property can't be checked but may result in model behaving in an unpredictable way).

NOTE1: However, if the set_row_selection_condition() or set_row_selection_condition_sql() have been successfully be called before, the WHERE part of mod_stmt WILL be modified to use the row selection condition specified through one of these methods (please not that it is then possible to avoid specifying a WHERE part in mod_stmt then).

NOTE2: if set_row_selection_condition() or set_row_selection_condition_sql() have not yet been successfully be called before, then the WHERE part of mod_stmt will be used as if one of these functions had been called.

Parameters:

  mod_stmt | A Gda::Statement (INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE).

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.

void Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::set_modification_statement_sql | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql ) |

Offers the same feature as set_modification_statement() but using an SQL statement.

Parameters:

  sql | An SQL text.

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::DataSelect::set_row_selection_condition_sql | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql_where ) |

Specifies the SQL condition corresponding to the WHERE part of a SELECT statement which would return only 1 row (the expression of the primary key).

For example for a table created as <![CDATA["CREATE TABLE mytable (part1 int NOT <tt>0</tt>, part2 string NOT <tt>0</tt>, name string, PRIMARY KEY (part1, part2))"]]>, and if pmodel corresponds to the execution of the <![CDATA["SELECT name, part1, part2 FROM mytable"]]>, then the sensible value for sql_where would be <![CDATA["part1 = ##-1::int AND part2 = ##-2::string"]]> because the values of the 'part1' field are located in pmodel's column number 1 and the values of the 'part2' field are located in pmodel's column number 2 and the primary key is composed of (part1, part2).

For more information about the syntax of the parameters (named <![CDATA["##-1::int"]]> for example), see the documentation, and set_modification_statement().

Parameters:

  sql_where | An SQL condition (without the WHERE keyword).

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.
