## Detailed Description

Single SQL statement.

The Gda::Statement represents a single SQL statement (multiple statements can be grouped in a Batch object).

A Gda::Statement can either be built "manually" by building a Gda::SqlStatement structure, or from an SQL statement using a Gda::SqlParser object. A GdaConnection can use a GdaStatement to:

- prepare it for a future execution, the preparation step involves converting the GdaStatement object into a structure used by the database's own API, see Gda::Connection::statement_prepare()
- execute it using Gda::Connection::statement_execute_select() if it is known that the statement is a selection statement, Gda::Connection::statement_execute_non_select() if it is not a selection statement, or Gda::Connection::statement_execute() when the type of expected result is unknown. Note that it is possible to use the same Gda::Statement object at the same time with several Gda::Connection objects.

## Member Function Documentation

bool Gnome::Gda::Statement::check_structure | ( |  | ) | const

Checks that stmt's structure is correct.

Returns:
  `true` if stmt's structure is correct.

bool Gnome::Gda::Statement::check_validity | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc | ) | const

If cnc is not `0` then checks that every object (table, field, function) used in stmt actually exists in cnc's database.

If cnc is `0`, then cleans anything related to cnc in stmt.

See gda_sql_statement_check_validity() for more information.

Parameters:

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

Returns:
  `true` if every object actually exists in cnc's database.

Glib::RefPtr<Statement> Gnome::Gda::Statement::copy | ( |  | ) | const

Copy constructor.

Returns:
  A the new copy of orig.

static Glib::RefPtr<Statement> Gnome::Gda::Statement::create | ( |  | ) | `[static]`

bool Gnome::Gda::Statement::get_parameters | ( | Glib::RefPtr< Set >& | out_params | ) |

Get a new Gda::Set object which groups all the execution parameters which stmt needs.

This new object is returned though out_params.

Note that if stmt does not need any parameter, then out_params is set to `0`.

Parameters:

  | out_params | A place to store a new Gda::Set object, or `0`.

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.

SqlStatementType Gnome::Gda::Statement::get_statement_type | ( |  | ) | const

Get the type of statement held by stmt.

It returns GDA_SQL_STATEMENT_NONE if stmt does not hold any statement

Returns:
  The statement type.

const GdaStatement* Gnome::Gda::Statement::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GdaStatement* Gnome::Gda::Statement::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GdaStatement* Gnome::Gda::Statement::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

bool Gnome::Gda::Statement::is_useless | ( |  | ) | const

Tells if stmt is composed only of spaces (that is it has no real SQL code), and is completely useless as such.

Returns:
  `true` if executing stmt does nothing.

bool Gnome::Gda::Statement::normalize | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc | ) |

"Normalizes" some parts of stmt, see gda_sql_statement_normalize() for more information.

Parameters:

  | cnc | A Gda::Connection object.

Returns:
  `true` if no error occurred.

virtual void Gnome::Gda::Statement::on_checked | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | bool | valid |
| ) |  |  | `[protected, virtual]`

virtual void Gnome::Gda::Statement::on_reset | ( |  | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<gpointer> Gnome::Gda::Statement::property_structure | ( |  | ) | const

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<gpointer> Gnome::Gda::Statement::property_structure | ( |  | ) |

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::Statement::serialize | ( |  | ) | const

Creates a string representing the contents of stmt.

Returns:
  A string containing the serialized version of stmt.

Glib::SignalProxy2< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Connection>&,bool > Gnome::Gda::Statement::signal_checked | ( |  | ) |

Prototype:
  `void on_my_checked(const Glib::RefPtr<Connection>& cnc, bool valid)`

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gnome::Gda::Statement::signal_reset | ( |  | ) |

Prototype:
  `void on_my_reset()`

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::Statement::to_sql | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Connection >& | cnc,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | params,
|  | StatementSqlFlag | flags,
|  | const HolderSList & | params_used |
| ) |  |  | const

Renders stmt as an SQL statement, with some control on how it is rendered.

If cnc is not `0`, then the rendered SQL will better be suited to be used by cnc (in particular it may include some SQL tweaks and/or proprietary extensions specific to the database engine used by cnc).

Parameters:

  | cnc | A Gda::Connection object, or `0`.
  | params | Parameters contained in a single Gda::Set object.
  | flags | A set of flags to control the rendering.
  | params_used | A place to store the list of actual Gda::Holder objects in used to do the rendering, or `0`.

Returns:
  A new string if no error occurred.

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::Statement::to_sql | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Set >& | params | ) | const

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::Statement::to_sql | ( |  | ) | const

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gnome::Gda::Statement > wrap | ( | GdaStatement * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
