struct GdaSelectPrivate; GdaDataModel* gda_select_new (void); void gda_select_add_source (GdaSelect *sel, const gchar *name, const GdaDataModel *source); void gda_select_set_sql (GdaSelect *sel, const gchar *sql); gboolean gda_select_run (GdaSelect *sel);
GdaDataModel* gda_select_new (void);
Create a new GdaSelect object, which allows programs to filter GdaDataModel's based on a given SQL SELECT command..
A GdaSelect is just another GdaDataModel-based class, so it can be used in the same way any other data model class is.
Returns : | the newly created object. |
void gda_select_add_source (GdaSelect *sel, const gchar *name, const GdaDataModel *source);
Add a data model as a source of data for the GdaSelect object. When the select object is run (via gda_select_run), it will parse the SQL and get the required data from the source data models.
sel : | a GdaSelect object. |
name : | name to identify the data model (usually a table name). |
source : | a GdaDataModel from which to get data. |
void gda_select_set_sql (GdaSelect *sel, const gchar *sql);
Set the SQL command to be used on the given GdaSelect object for filtering rows from the source data model (which is set with gda_select_set_source).
sel : | a GdaSelect object. |
sql : | the SQL command to be used for filtering rows. |
gboolean gda_select_run (GdaSelect *sel);
Run the query and fill in the GdaSelect object with the rows that matched the SQL command (which can be set with gda_select_set_sql) associated with this GdaSelect object.
After calling this function, if everything is successful, the GdaSelect object will contain the matched rows, which can then be accessed like a normal GdaDataModel.
sel : | a GdaSelect object. |
Returns : | TRUE if successful, FALSE if there was an error. |
<<< gda-row | GdaTable >>> |
