Detailed Description

An abstract base class for interfacing with relational databases.

Member Function Documentation

cursor()

virtual Cursor* litesql::Backend::cursor ( const string &  query ) const

pure virtual

executes SQL-query

Parameters

query

SQL-query to execute

Returns

Cursor-object which can be used to iterate result set row by row without loading everything to memory

execute()

virtual Result* litesql::Backend::execute ( const string &  query ) const

pure virtual

executes SQL-query

Parameters

query

SQL-query to execute

Returns

Result-object which holds result set of query

getBackend()

Backend * Backend::getBackend ( const string &  type, const string &  connInfo  )

static

returns a backend according to Backendtype in type, parameters are specific to backend and are separated by semicolon.

Parameters

type	type of the database backend (supported are : "mysql","postgresql","sqlite3","odbc"
connInfo	database connection specific parameters (parameters are separated by semicolon)

Exceptions

DatabaseError

if no backend is found

getRowIDType()

virtual string litesql::Backend::getRowIDType ( ) const

inlinevirtual

backend may want to set an AUTO_INCREMENT-attribute for table's primary key field.

this method is to deliver the details to database schema

groupInsert()

string Backend::groupInsert ( Record  tables, Records  fields, Records  values, const string &  sequence  ) const

virtual

executes multiple INSERT-statements and assigns same 'row id' for first field of every record

Parameters

tables	destination tables for insert operation
fields	record of field names per table
values	record of values per table
sequence	sequence where row id-numbers are pulled

Returns

new row id
