## Detailed Description

In-memory representation of some database objects.

The Gda::MetaStruct object reads data from a Gda::MetaStore object and creates an easy to use in memory representation for some database objects. For example one can easily analyse the columns of a table (or its foreign keys) using a Gda::MetaStruct.

When created, the new Gda::MetaStruct object is empty (it does not have any information about any database object). Information about database objects is computed upon request using the gda_meta_struct_complement() method. Information about individual database objects is represented by GdaMetaDbObject structures, which can be obtained using get_db_object() or get_all_db_objects().

Note that the Gda::MetaDbObject structures may change or may be removed or replaced by others, so it not advised to keep pointers to these structures: pointers to these structures should be considered valid as long as complement() and other similar functions have not been called.

## Member Function Documentation

GdaMetaDbObject* Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::complement | ( | MetaDbObjectType | type,
|  | const Value& | catalog,
|  | const Value& | schema,
|  | const Value& | name
| ) |  |

Creates a new Gda::MetaDbObject structure in mstruct to represent the database object (of type type) which can be uniquely identified as catalog.

schema. name.

If catalog is not `0`, then schema should not be `0`.

If both catalog and schema are `0`, then the database object will be the one which is "visible" by default (that is which can be accessed only by its short name name).

If catalog is `0` and schema is not `0`, then the database object will be the one which can be accessed by its schema. name name.

Important note: catalog, schema and name will be used using the following convention:

- be surrounded by double quotes for a case sensitive search
- otherwise for case insensitive search

For more information, see the meta data section about SQL identifiers.

Parameters

  type | The type of object to add (which can be GDA_META_DB_UNKNOWN).
  catalog | The catalog the object belongs to (as a G_TYPE_STRING GValue), or `0`.
  schema | The schema the object belongs to (as a G_TYPE_STRING GValue), or `0`.
  name | The object's name (as a G_TYPE_STRING GValue), not `0`.

Returns
  The Gda::MetaDbObject corresponding to the database object if no error occurred, or `0`.

bool Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::complement_all | ( |  | ) |

This method is similar to complement() and complement_default() but creates Gda::MetaDbObject for all the database object.

Please refer to complement() form more information.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::complement_default | ( |  | ) |

This method is similar to complement() and complement_all() but creates Gda::MetaDbObject for all the database object which are usable using only their short name (that is which do not need to be prefixed by the schema in which they are to be used).

Please refer to complement() form more information.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

bool Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::complement_schema | ( | const Value& | catalog,
|  | const Value& | schema
| ) |  |

This method is similar to complement() but creates Gda::MetaDbObject for all the database object which are in the schema schema (and in the catalog catalog).

If catalog is `0`, then any catalog will be used, and if schema is `0` then any schema will be used (if schema is `0` then catalog must also be `0`).

Please refer to complement() form more information.

Parameters

  catalog | Name of a catalog, or `0`.
  schema | Name of a schema, or `0`.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.

static Glib::RefPtr<MetaStruct> Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::create | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< MetaStore >& | store,

| ) |  |
| static

Glib::ustring Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::dump_as_graph | ( | MetaGraphInfo | info | ) |

Creates a new graph (in the GraphViz syntax) representation of mstruct.

Parameters

  info | Informs what kind of information to show in the resulting graph.

Returns
  A new string, or `0` if an error occurred.

GSList* Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::get_all_db_objects | ( |  | ) |

Get a list of all the Gda::MetaDbObject structures representing database objects in mstruct.

Note that no Gda::MetaDbObject structure must not be modified.

Returns
  A new SList list of pointers to Gda::MetaDbObject structures which must be destroyed after usage using Glib::slist_free(). The individual Gda::MetaDbObject must not be modified.

GdaMetaDbObject* Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::get_db_object | ( | const Value& | catalog,
|  | const Value& | schema,
|  | const Value& | name
| ) |  |

Tries to locate the Gda::MetaDbObject structure representing the database object named after catalog, schema and name.

If one or both of catalog and schema are `0`, and more than one database object matches the name, then the return value is also `0`.

Parameters

  catalog | The catalog the object belongs to (as a G_TYPE_STRING GValue), or `0`.
  schema | The schema the object belongs to (as a G_TYPE_STRING GValue), or `0`.
  name | The object's name (as a G_TYPE_STRING GValue), not `0`.

Returns
  The Gda::MetaDbObject or `0` if not found.

GdaMetaTableColumn* Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::get_table_column | ( | GdaMetaTable * | table,
|  | const Value& | col_name
| ) |  |

static GType Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::get_type | ( |  | ) |

| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GdaMetaStruct* Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GdaMetaStruct* Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

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

MetaStruct& Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::operator= | ( | MetaStruct&& | src | ) |
| noexcept

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< guint > Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::property_features | ( |  | ) | const

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

bool Gnome::Gda::MetaStruct::sort_db_object | ( | MetaSortType | sort_type | ) |

Reorders the list of database objects within mstruct in a way specified by sort_type.

Parameters

  sort_type | The kind of sorting requested.

Returns
  `true` if no error occurred.
