Detailed Description

Table class.

Library: dataccess

The IliTable class is an abstract class that defines objects capable of managing an ordered collection of rows. Each of these rows conforms to the same schema. Since the IliTable class is abstract, it defines a protocol for creating, editing, and inspecting a table object. This protocol is implemented in subclasses of the IliTable class. In addition to having a schema, a table has a set of parameters. A table also manages a set of rows. Some of the IliTable subclasses, such as IliMemoryTable or IliStringsTable, manage rows themselves. They are called one-tier tables. Other subclasses, such as IliSQLTable, manage rows located in a remote database. They are called two-tier tables. Some of the member functions of the IliTable class, behave differently in these two types of tables. It should be noted that a two-tier table implements a local row cache, where it stores a copy of some of the remote rows to which the table is mapped at any particular time. The purpose of this cache is to reduce communication overheads with the remote database engine, and to allow you to overcome the fact that many database systems do not provide random access to their data. In this situation, a subset of the database rows is copied and stored in the local row cache allowing the table object to provide random access to these rows. The IliTable class does not support the concept of a current row. This is due to the fact that such a concept would not allow many users to simultaneously access the table, each with their own current row. Instead, a companion class, IliTableBuffer, is provided. This class implements the notion of current row, allowing many simultaneous users of an IliTable object.

Member Function Documentation

void IliTable::addErrorSink ( IliErrorSink * sink )

Adds an error sink.

All errors that are thrown by one of the raiseError member functions will be forwarded to this error sink. Note that the table will not delete the error sink at destruction time, so the same error sink may be safely shared among many tables.

Parameters

sink	The error sink.

virtual IlBoolean IliTable::allowRowMove ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the table (or subclass of the table) allows row move operations.

Returns: IlTrue if the table (or subclass of the table) allows row move operations.

Reimplemented in IliMemoryTable, and IliStringsTable.

IlInt IliTable::appendParameter	(	const char *	paramName,
		const IliDatatype *	type,
		IlInt	maxlen = `-1`
	)

Appends a new parameter to the table parameters.

Parameters

paramName	The parameter name, it is copied.
type	The parameter type.
maxlen	The maximum length.

Returns: The position of the newly created parameter.

IlInt IliTable::appendRow ( IliTableBuffer * tblBuf )

Appends a new row defined by the table buffer.

Parameters

tblBuf The table buffer.

Returns: The position of the new row, or -1 if it fails. If the table (or subclass of the table) defines a mapping with a remote database, the row is also inserted in the remote database.

IlInt IliTable::appendRowInCache ( IliTableBuffer * tblBuf )

Appends a new row defined by the table buffer.

This member function is similar to the appendRow member function except that it appends only the row in the local row cache if this table is a two-tier table.

Parameters

tblBuf The table buffer.

Returns: The position of the new row, or -1 if it fails. If the table (or subclass of the table) defines a mapping with a remote database, the row is also inserted in the remote database.

virtual IlBoolean IliTable::applyQueryMode ( IliTable * queryTable )

virtual

Applies the query specified by the conditions contained in the provided table.

If query mode is supported, applies the query specified by the conditions contained in the queryTable parameter, which is expected to be a table obtained by calling the makeQueryTable virtual member function.

Parameters

queryTable The table.

Returns: IlTrue if successful.

Reimplemented in IliSQLTable.

IliValue IliTable::at	(	IlInt	rowno,
		IlInt	colno
	)		const

Returns a value.

Parameters

rowno	The row position.
colno	The column position.

Returns: The value in the row positioned at rowno for the column positioned at colno. This member function is similar to the getValue member function, except that it does not report any errors that may have occurred.

IliValue IliTable::at	(	IlInt	rowno,
		IliName	colname
	)		const

Returns a value.

Parameters

rowno	The row position.
colname	The name of the column.

Returns: The value in the row positioned at rowno for the column named colname.

virtual void IliTable::cellChanged	(	IlInt	rowno,
		IlInt	colno
	)

protectedvirtual

Called just after a cell has changed.

If more than one value has changed in a row, it is preferable to call the rowChanged member function once, instead of calling cellChanged many times.

Parameters

rowno	The row position.
colno	The column position.

virtual IlBoolean IliTable::checkConstraints	(	IlInt	rowno,
		IliTableBuffer *	buff
	)		const

virtual

Validates the table buffer data.

Parameters

rowno	The row position.
buff	The table buffer.

Returns: IlTrue if the buff table buffer contains a valid row as defined by the constraints specified in the schema of the table. If the rowno parameter is equal to -1, the buff parameter is assumed to contain a row that will be inserted into the table. Otherwise, rowno must designate an existing row, and buff is assumed to contain a replacement for that row. The constraints that are checked by this member function are the primary key constraint, the NOT NULL constraint, and the maximum length column constraint.

virtual void IliTable::clearRows ( )

virtual

Deletes all rows.

If the table (or subclass of the table) defines a mapping with a remote database, then only the rows in the IliTable object are deleted. The rows in the remote database are not affected by this operation. This enables the row cache of such a table to be cleared.

Reimplemented in IliSQLTable, IliMemoryTable, and IliStringsTable.

IliTable* IliTable::copyTable ( ) const

Returns a copy of the table.

This member function can copy any subclass of IliTable.

Returns: The table.

void IliTable::deleteParameter ( IlInt paramno )

Deletes a parameter.

Parameters

paramno The parameter position.

virtual IlBoolean IliTable::deleteRow ( IlInt rowno )

virtual

Deletes a row.

Parameters

rowno The row position.

Returns: IlTrue if successful and IlFalse if rowno is out of bounds, or if the row could not be deleted. If the table (or subclass of the table) defines a mapping with a remote database, the row is also deleted in the remote database.

Reimplemented in IliSQLTable, IliMemoryTable, and IliStringsTable.

virtual IlBoolean IliTable::deleteRowInCache ( IlInt rowno )

virtual

Deletes a row.

This virtual member function is similar to the deleteRow member function except that it only deletes the row in the local row cache if this table is a two-tier table.

Parameters

rowno The row position.

Returns: IlTrue if successful and IlFalse if rowno is out of bounds, or if the row could not be deleted. If the table (or subclass of the table) defines a mapping with a remote database, the row is also deleted in the remote database.

rowno2	The second row position.

Returns: IlTrue if successful. If the table (or subclass of the table) defines a mapping with a remote database, the rows are also exchanged in the remote database (if possible).

Reimplemented in IliSQLTable, and IliMemoryTable.

virtual IlBoolean IliTable::exchangeRowsInCache	(	IlInt	rowno1,
		IlInt	rowno2
	)

colno	The column position.
complete	The complete flag. To make a match when the parameter is `IlTrue`, the character string representation of the `value` parameter may be a prefix of the character string representation of the value contained in the `colno` column of the row. In this case, if several rows correspond to the prefix, the function returns the position of the first row to which it corresponds.
fromRow	The start position.
toRow	The last row position. If equals `-1` then all rows starting at `fromRow` are located. The first of these rows that contains a value equal to the value in the column is the match.

Returns: The row position if successful. Otherwise returns -1.
