Detailed Description

RWDBRow is an ordered collection of RWDBValue objects. RWDBRow is a relatively low level construct used by the DB Interface Module to store a row of data on its way to or from the database. It is visible to applications for two reasons:

• An RWDBRow is a single row of an RWDBMemTable.
• Some applications may want to manage raw data without knowing anything about its structure. RWDBRow can be used as a container in these cases.

The only semantics that RWDBRow adds to RWCollectable are:

• The index operator operator[]() return RWDBValue&, rather than RWCollectable*&.
• The destructor deallocates the contents of the RWDBRow by calling clearAndDestroy().

RWDBRow is designed around the Interface/Implementation paradigm. An RWDBRow instance is an interface to a reference-counted implementation; copy constructors and assignment operators produce additional references to a shared implementation.

Synopsis

#include <rw/db/row.h>

RWDBRow& r = myMemTable[i];

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWDBRow::RWDBRow

(

)

The default constructor produces an empty RWDBRow.

RWDBRow::RWDBRow

(

const RWDBRow &

rvalue

)

Copy constructor. The created RWDBRow shares an implementation with rvalue.

virtual RWDBRow::~RWDBRow ( )

virtual

The default destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void RWDBRow::append ( const RWDBValue &  value )

virtual

Appends value to self.

RWspace RWDBRow::binaryStoreSize ( ) const

virtual

Returns the number of bytes required to store self.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual void RWDBRow::clearAndDestroy ( )

virtual

Removes all values from the collection and deletes them.

virtual int RWDBRow::compareTo ( const RWCollectable *  c ) const

virtual

If c points to an RWDBRow, returns 0 if each RWDBValue in self compares equal to the RWDBValue in c at the same position, otherwise returns a nonzero value.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual RWCollectable* RWDBRow::copy ( ) const

virtual

Returns a new, copy-constructed object of the same type as self. The caller is responsible for deleting the object.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual size_t RWDBRow::entries ( ) const

virtual

Returns the total number of values in the collection.

virtual unsigned RWDBRow::hash ( ) const

virtual

Returns a hash value for use in collection classes.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual RWClassID RWDBRow::isA ( ) const

virtual

Redefined from class RWCollectable. Returns __RWDBROW.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual bool RWDBRow::isEqual ( const RWCollectable *  t ) const

virtual

Behaves as if compareTo(t) was invoked, returning true if the result equals 0, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual RWCollectable* RWDBRow::newSpecies ( ) const

virtual

Returns a new, default-constructed object of the same type as self. The caller is responsible for deleting the object.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

RWDBRow& RWDBRow::operator=

(

const RWDBRow &

rvalue

)

Assignment operator. Returns reference to self which shares an implementation with rvalue.

RWDBValue& RWDBRow::operator[]

(

size_t

index

)

const

Returns a reference to the RWDBValue at position index in the collection. Throws an exception of type RWBoundsErr if index is out of range.

virtual void RWDBRow::restoreGuts ( RWFile &  file )

virtual

Reads file, replacing the contents of self.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual void RWDBRow::restoreGuts ( RWvistream &  stream )

virtual

Reads stream, replacing the contents of self.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual void RWDBRow::saveGuts ( RWFile &  file ) const

virtual

Writes the contents of self to file.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.

virtual void RWDBRow::saveGuts ( RWvostream &  stream ) const

virtual

Writes the contents of self to stream.

Reimplemented from RWCollectable.
