.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The QSqlDatabase class is used to create SQL database connections and to provide transaction handling.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that transaction handling is not supported by every SQL database. You can find out whether transactions are supported using QSqlDriver::hasFeature().
|
|
.PP
|
|
The QSqlDatabase class provides an abstract interface for accessing many types of database backends. Database-specific drivers are used internally to actually access and manipulate data, (see QSqlDriver). Result set objects provide the interface for executing and manipulating SQL queries (see QSqlQuery).
|
|
.PP
|
|

|
|
.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "QSqlDatabase::QSqlDatabase ( const QString & type, const QString & name, QObject * parent = 0, const char * objname = 0 )\fC [protected]\fR"
|
|
Creates a QSqlDatabase connection called \fIname\fR that uses the driver referred to by \fItype\fR, with the parent \fIparent\fR and the object name \fIobjname\fR. If the \fItype\fR is not recognized, the database connection will have no functionality.

|
|
.SH "QSqlDatabase::QSqlDatabase ( QSqlDriver * driver, QObject * parent = 0, const char * objname = 0 )\fC [protected]\fR"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Creates a database connection using the driver \fIdriver\fR, with the parent \fIparent\fR and the object name \fIobjname\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBWarning:\fR The framework takes ownership of the \fIdriver\fR pointer, so it should not be deleted.
|
|
.SH "QSqlDatabase::~QSqlDatabase ()"
|
|
Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.
|
|
.SH "QSqlDatabase * QSqlDatabase::addDatabase ( const QString & type, const QString & connectionName = defaultConnection )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
Adds a database to the list of database connections using the driver \fItype\fR and the connection name \fIconnectionName\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The database connection is referred to by \fIconnectionName\fR. The newly added database connection is returned. This pointer is owned by QSqlDatabase and will be deleted on program exit or when removeDatabase() is called.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIconnectionName\fR is not specified, the newly added database connection becomes the default database connection for the application, and subsequent calls to database() (without a database name parameter) will return a pointer to it. If \fIconnectionName\fR is given, use database(connectionName) to retrieve a pointer to the database connection.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBWarning:\fR If you add a database with the same name as an existing database, the new database will replace the old one. This will happen automatically if you call this function more than once without specifying \fIconnectionName\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also database() and removeDatabase().

|
|
.SH "QSqlDatabase * QSqlDatabase::addDatabase ( QSqlDriver * driver, const QString & connectionName = defaultConnection )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This function is useful if you need to set up the database connection and instantiate the driver yourself. If you do this, it is recommended that you include the driver code in your own application. For example, setting up a custom PostgreSQL connection and instantiating the QPSQL7 driver can be done the following way:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
#include "qtdir/src/sql/drivers/psql/qsql_psql.cpp"
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
(We assume that \fCqtdir\fR is the directory where TQt is installed.) This will pull in the code that is needed to use the PostgreSQL client library and to instantiate a QPSQLDriver object, assuming that you have the PostgreSQL headers somewhere in your include search path.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
PGconn* con = PQconnectdb( "host=server user=bart password=simpson dbname=springfield" );
|
|
.br
|
|
QPSQLDriver* drv = new QPSQLDriver( con );
|
|
.br
|
|
QSqlDatabase* db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase( drv ); // becomes the new default connection
|
|
.br
|
|
QSqlQuery q;
|
|
.br
|
|
q.exec( "SELECT * FROM people" );
|
|
.br
|
|
...
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
The above code sets up a PostgreSQL connection and instantiates a QPSQLDriver object. Next, addDatabase() is called to add the connection to the known connections so that it can be used by the TQt SQL classes. When a driver is instantiated with a connection handle (or set of handles), TQt assumes that you have already opened the database connection.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Remember that you must link your application against the database client library as well. The simplest way to do this is to add lines like those below to your \fC.pro\fR file:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
unix:LIBS += -lpq
|
|
.br
|
|
win32:LIBS += libpqdll.lib
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
You will need to have the client library in your linker's search path.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The method described above will work for all the drivers, the only difference is the arguments the driver constructors take. Below is an overview of the drivers and their constructor arguments.

|

</center>
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note: The host name (or service name) is needed when constructing the QTDSDriver for creating new connections for internal queries. This is to prevent the simultaneous usage of several QSqlQuery/QSqlCursor objects from blocking each other.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBWarning:\fR The SQL framework takes ownership of the \fIdriver\fR pointer, and it should not be deleted. The returned QSqlDatabase object is owned by the framework and must not be deleted. If you want to explicitly remove the connection, use removeDatabase()
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also drivers().
|
|
.SH "void QSqlDatabase::close ()"
|
|
Closes the database connection, freeing any resources acquired.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also removeDatabase().
|
|
.SH "bool QSqlDatabase::commit ()"
|
|
Commits a transaction to the database if the driver supports transactions. Returns TRUE if the operation succeeded; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also QSqlDriver::hasFeature() and rollback().
|
|
.SH "QString QSqlDatabase::connectOptions () const"
|
|
Returns the database connect options. See the "connectOptions" property for details.
|
|
.SH "bool QSqlDatabase::contains ( const QString & connectionName = defaultConnection )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
Returns TRUE if the list of database connections contains \fIconnectionName\fR; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
.SH "QSqlDatabase * QSqlDatabase::database ( const QString & connectionName = defaultConnection, bool open = TRUE )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
Returns the database connection called \fIconnectionName\fR. The database connection must have been previously added with addDatabase(). If \fIopen\fR is TRUE (the default) and the database connection is not already open it is opened now. If no \fIconnectionName\fR is specified the default connection is used. If \fIconnectionName\fR does not exist in the list of databases, 0 is returned. The pointer returned is owned by QSqlDatabase and should \fInot\fR be deleted.
|
|

|
Returns TRUE if the database connection is currently open; otherwise returns FALSE.
|

|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

|
|
.SH "QSqlRecord QSqlDatabase::record ( const QString & tablename ) const"
|
|
Returns a QSqlRecord populated with the names of all the fields in the table (or view) called \fItablename\fR. The order in which the fields appear in the record is undefined. If no such table (or view) exists, an empty record is returned.

For the QODBC3 driver it can either be a DSN, a DSN filename (the file must have a \fC.dsn\fR extension), or a connection string. MS Access users can for example use the following connection string to open a \fC.mdb\fR file directly, instead of having to create a DSN entry in the ODBC manager:
|

|
|
.br
|
|
db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase( "QODBC3" );

db->setDatabaseName( "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};FIL={MS Access};DBQ=myaccessfile.mdb" );
