Detailed Description

the base abstract class for the table implementation

Use SqlUtil::Table if you need to construct table object directly

Member Function Documentation

◆ addCheckConstraint()

AbstractCheckConstraint SqlUtil::AbstractTable::addCheckConstraint ( string  cname,
string  src,
*hash< auto >  opt,
*reference< string sql 
)

adds a check constraint to the table; if the table is already known to be in the database, then it is added in the database also immediately; otherwise it is only added internally and can be created when create() is called for example

Example:
string sql;
AbstractCheckConstraint cc = table.addCheckConstraint("check_mytable_id", "id > 10", NOTHING, \sql);
printf("%s;\n", sql);
string printf(string fmt,...)

In case the table is already in the database, this method commits the transaction on success and rolls back the transaction if there's an error.

Parameters
cnamethe name of the new constraint
srcthe source of the constraint clause
opta hash of options for the new constraint; each driver may implement its own options; for common options, see SqlUtil::AbstractTable::ConstraintOptions
sqlan optional reference to a string to retrieve the SQL used to modify the table (only executed if the table is already in the database)
Returns
an AbstractCheckConstraint object corresponding to the check constraint created
Exceptions
CHECK-CONSTRAINT-ERRORthe table already has a constraint with the given name or invalid columns or options were passed
See also
inDb() for a method that tells if the table is already in the database or not

◆ addColumn()

AbstractColumn SqlUtil::AbstractTable::addColumn ( string  cname,
hash< auto >  opt,
bool  nullable = True,
*reference  lsql 
)

adds a column to the table; if the table is already known to be in the database, then it is added in the database also immediately; otherwise it is only added internally and can be created when create() is called for example

Example:
table.addColumn("name", ("qore_type": Type::String, "size": 50), False);

In case the table is already in the database, this method commits the transaction on success and rolls back the transaction if there's an error.

Parameters
cnamethe name of the column
opta hash<auto> describing the column; the following keys are permitted (other column options may be supported depending on the underlying AbstractTable implementation):
  • qore_type: a qore type string that will be converted to a native DB type with some default conversion;
  • native_type: the native database column type; if both native_type and qore_type are given then native_type is used
  • size: for data types requiring a size component, the size; for numeric columns this represents the precision for example
  • scale: for numeric data types, this value gives the scale
  • default_value: the default value for the column
  • default_value_native: a boolean flag to say if a default_value should be validated against table column type (False) or used as it is (True) to allow to use DBMS native functions or features. Defaults to False. It is strongly recommended to use default_value_native for default_value in driver specific sub-hash to avoid non-portable schema hashes
nullableif True then the column can hold NULL values; note that primary key columns cannot be nullable
lsqlan optional reference to a list of strings to retrieve the SQL used to modify the table (only executed if the table is already in the database)
Exceptions
COLUMN-ERRORno native_type or qore_type keys in column option hash, column already exists, invalid column data
Note
make sure and add a default_value value when adding a column with a "not null" constraint with existing data
See also
inDb() for a method that tells if the table is already in the database or not

◆ addCustomCopOperator()

SqlUtil::AbstractTable::addCustomCopOperator ( string  name,

register custom user column operator for this table object

This method allows to register custom operators for select statements.

Parameters
namea string with operator name. It has to be unique in the driver
operatoran operator has as expected by SqlUtil::make_cop() function
Exceptions
CUSTOM-OPERATOR-ERRORin case when user tries to register already existing operator with name or if the operator hash does not contain "code" key/value.
# t is a AbstractTable/Table object
# custom operator hash
hash<auto> to_char = (
"code" : string sub(string arg1, auto arg) {
return sprintf("to_char(%s, '%s')", arg1, arg);
},
);
# operator registration
t.addCustomCopOperator("to_char", to_char);
# example usage
hash<auto> sh = (
"columns" : cop_as(SqlUtil::make_cop("to_char", "d", "yyyymmddhh24miss"), "string_fmt_date"),
"limit" : 1,
);
# output
string sql;
on_exit printf("SQL> %s\n", sql);
*list<auto> res = t.selectRows(sh, \sql);
# result (from Oracle)
# list: (1 element)
# [0]=hash: (3 members)
# string_fmt_date : "20171020071854"

privatepure virtual

returns True if the table exists in the DB, False if not

this method will only be called if inDb is False and should set inDb = True if it returns True

◆ clear()

SqlUtil::AbstractTable::clear ( )

*hash  nopts 
)
private

creates the object; private constructor

Parameters
ndsthe AbstractDatasource for the connection to the database
nnamethe name of the table
noptsan optional hash of options for the table creation string; see SqlUtil::AbstractTable::TableOptions for common options; each driver can support additional driver-specific options
Exceptions
OPTION-ERRORinvalid or unsupported option passed

◆ create()

SqlUtil::AbstractTable::create ( *hash< auto >  opt)

creates the table with all associated properties (indexes, constraints, etc) without any transaction management

Example:
table.create();
Parameters
opta hash of options for the SQL creation strings
Note
Transaction management is normally not performed when creating tables, however this method uses the Qore::SQL::AbstractDatasource::exec() method, which normally participates in acquiring a transaction lock for the underlying datasource object; therefore after this method executes normally the transaction lock will be dedicated to the calling thread.
Exceptions
CREATE-TABLE-ERRORtable has already been read from or created in the database

◆ createCommit()

SqlUtil::AbstractTable::createCommit ( *hash< auto >  opt)

creates the table in the database; releases the transaction lock after creating the table

Example:
table.createCommit();
Parameters
opta hash of options for the SQL creation strings
Note
The transaction is committed if successful or rolled back if an exception occurs; use create() to execute without any transaction management

◆ del()

int SqlUtil::AbstractTable::del ( hash< auto >  cond,
reference< string sql,
hash< auto >  opt 
)

deletes rows in the table matching the condition and returns the count of rows deleted; no transaction management is performed with this method

Example:
int dcnt = table.del(("name": name));
Parameters
conda hash of conditions for the where clause; see Where Clauses for more information
sqlan optional reference to a string to return the SQL generated for the select statement
optoptional SQL data operation callback options; see AbstractTable::SqlDataCallbackOptions for more info

returns a closure that can be executed given a hash argument representing a single row that will be updated or inserted in the database with the given upsert strategy; the table must have a unique key to do this; the closure returned does not check the input hash for validity

Example:
Datasource ds("pgsql:user/pass@db%localhost");
Table table(ds, "table_name");
code upsert = table.getUpsertClosure(row, AbstractTable::UpsertSelectFirst);
on_success ds.commit();
on_error ds.rollback();

int  upsert_strategy = UpsertAuto,
*hash< auto >  opt 
)

returns a closure that can be executed given a hash argument representing a single row that will be updated or inserted in the database with the given upsert strategy; the table must have a unique key to do this; the closure returned checks the input hash for validity

Example:
Datasource ds("pgsql:user/pass@db%localhost");

table.modifyColumn("name", ("qore_type": Type::String, "size": 240), False);

In case the table is already in the database, this method commits the transaction on success and rolls back the transaction if there's an error.

Parameters
cnamethe name of the column
opta hash<auto> describing the column; the following keys are permitted (other column options may be supported depending on the underlying AbstractTable implementation):
  • qore_type: a qore type string that will be converted to a native DB type with some default conversion;
  • native_type: the native database column type; if both native_type and qore_type are given then native_type is used
  • size: for data types requiring a size component, the size; for numeric columns this represents the precision for example
  • scale: for numeric data types, this value gives the scale
  • default_value: the default value for the column
  • default_value_native: a boolean flag to say if a default_value should be validated against table column type (False) or used as it is (True) to allow to use DBMS native functions or features. Defaults to False. It is strongly recommended to use default_value_native for default_value in driver specific sub-hash to avoid non-portable schema hashes
lsqlan optional reference to a list of strings to retrieve the SQL used to modify the table (only executed if the table is already in the database)
nullableif True then the column can hold NULL values; note that primary key columns cannot be nullable
Exceptions
COLUMN-ERRORno native_type or qore_type keys in column option hash, column does not exist, invalid column data
Note
make sure and add a default_value value when modifying a column to have a "not null" constraint with existing data

inline

this method upserts or merges data from the given iterator argument (whose getValue() method must return a hash giving row values) into the current table; no transaction management is performed with this method

Example:
hash h = table.upsertFromIterator(i, AbstractTable::UpsertUpdateFirst);
Parameters
ithe Qore::AbstractIterator argument that will provide the data to upsert or merge into the current table; the getValue() method of this object must return a hash giving row values (for example, the Qore::SQL::SQLStatement class is well-suited to be used here)
upsert_strategysee Upsert Strategy Codes for possible values for the upsert strategy
opta hash of options for the upsert operation; see SqlUtil::AbstractTable::UpsertOptions for common options; each driver can support additional driver-specific options; note that this method ignores any "commit_block" option

table alignment options

currently this option is a combination of SqlUtil::AbstractTable::TableCreationOptions and the following options:

  • column_map: (hash) a hash for automatically renaming columns; if the source name (key) exists and the target name (value) does not exist, then the source column is automatically renamed
  • index_map: (hash) a hash for automatically renaming indexes; if the source name (key) exists and the target name (value) does not exist, then the source index is automatically renamed
  • constraint_map: (hash) a hash for automatically renaming constraints; if the source name (key) exists and the target name (value) does not exist, then the source constraint is automatically renamed
  • trigger_map: (hash) a hash for automatically renaming triggers; if the source name (key) exists and the target name (value) does not exist, then the source trigger is automatically renamed
  • db_table_cache: (Tables) an optional table cache for maintaining tables in the database and foreign key relationships between tables
  • force: (bool) if True and supported by the driver and object, any objects dropped will be dropped with FORCE or CASCADE options

◆ ColumnDescOptions

"default_value_native": Type::Boolean,
"comment": Type::String,
"notnull": Type::Boolean,
"driver": Type::Hash,
}
const NothingType
const String
const Int

Column description options.

this option is made up of the following keys:

  • qore_type: (string) a qore type string that will be converted to a native DB type with some default conversion
  • native_type: (string) the native database column type; if both native_type and qore_type are given then native_type is used
  • size: (int) for data types requiring a size component, the size; for numeric columns this represents the precision for example
  • scale: (int) for numeric data types, this value gives the scale
  • default_value: the default value for the column
  • default_value_native: a boolean flag to say if a default_value should be validated against table column type (False) or used as it is (True) to allow to use DBMS native functions or features. Defaults to False. It is strongly recommended to use default_value_native for default_value in driver specific sub-hash to avoid non-portable schema hashes
  • comment: (string) an optional comment for the column
  • notnull: if the column should have a "not null" constraint on it; if missing the default value is False
  • driver: this key can optionally contain a hash keyed by driver name which contains a hash of values that will be added to the column description hash before processing; this way a column description hash can contain all the information required for the column including driver-specific options; any driver-specific options will overwrite values in the top level of the hash if there are duplicate hash keys, see below for an example

◆ TableCreationOptions

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::TableCreationOptions
Initial value:
"omit": "softstringlist",
}
const CreationOptions
default generic creation options
Definition: AbstractDatabase.qc.dox.h:118
const IndexOptions
default index options
Definition: AbstractTable.qc.dox.h:52

table creation options

currently this option is a combination of SqlUtil::AbstractTable::IndexOptions and AbstractDatabase::CreationOptions plus the following:

  • omit: a list pf attributes to omit; possible values are: indexes, foreign_constraints, triggers (see TableOmissionOptions)

◆ TableDescriptionHashOptions

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::TableDescriptionHashOptions
Initial value:
= {
"columns": Type::Hash,
"primary_key": Type::Hash,
"indexes": Type::Hash,
"triggers": Type::Hash,
"foreign_constraints": Type::Hash,

"table_cache": "Tables",
}

Table description options.

this option is made up of the following keys:

  • columns: (column description hash) a hash<auto> describing the column
  • primary_key : (primary key description hash) a hash<auto> describing the primary key for the table
  • indexes: (index description hashes) a hash<auto> describing the indexes on the table
  • triggers: a hash of trigger information keyed by trigger name; the values are the trigger source code; since triggers are driver-dependent, a driver-independent table description would include trigger hashes under the drivers key and the driver key name under that
  • foreign_constraints: (foreign constraint hashes) a hash<auto> describing the foreign constraints on the table
  • unique_constraints: (unique constraint hashes) a hash<auto> describing the unique constraints on the table
  • table_cache: (Tables) an optional table cache for maintaining cached tables and foreign key relationships between tables
See also
Table Description Hash

◆ TableOptions

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::TableOptions
Initial value:
= {
"native_case": Type::Boolean,
"table_cache": "Tables",
}

table options

The following keys can be set for this option:

  • native_case: (bool) if True then objects will be returned in the case the database server returns them in even if the database server uses case-insensitive names; normally in this case SqlUtil will convert the names to lower-case
  • table_cache: (Tables) an optional table cache for maintaining cached tables and foreign key relationships between tables

◆ TriggerOptions

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::TriggerOptions = AbstractDatabase::CreationOptions

default trigger options

currently this option is identical to AbstractDatabase::CreationOptions

◆ UpsertAuto

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::UpsertAuto = 4

Upsert option: if the target table is empty, use UpsertInsertFirst, otherwise use UpsertUpdateFirst.

With this upsert strategy, the following row result codes are possible:

◆ UpsertInsertFirst

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::UpsertInsertFirst = 1

Upsert option: insert first, if the insert fails, then update.

with this option an insert is attempted, and if it fails due to a duplicate row, then an update is made unconditionally; with this upsert strategy, the following row result codes are possible:

◆ UpsertInsertOnly

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::UpsertInsertOnly = 5

Upsert option: insert if the row does not exist, otherwise ignore.

With this upsert strategy, the following row result codes are possible:

◆ UpsertOptions

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::UpsertOptions
Initial value:
= {
"info_callback": "code",
"commit_block": Type::Int,
"delete_others": Type::Boolean,
"omit_update": "softstringlist",
}

default upsert option keys

The following keys can be set for this option:

  • commit_block: the number of changes made before an automatic commit is made for upsert methods that perform commits
  • delete_others: if this option is True, then a hash of primary key values in the input data is built as the input data is iterated. After iterating, if the row count of the table and the input data matches, then nothing more is done, otherwise, every row of the table is iterated and compared to the primary key hash; if a row does not match a primary key value, then it is deleted. This operation allows tables to be completely synchronized by removing rows in the target table not present in the source table. This operation is expensive for large data sets.
  • info_callback: see Upsert Info Callback
  • omit_update: allows for an asymmetrical upsert where a set of column values is inserted, but a smaller set is updated in case the unique key values are present in the target table; the value of this key should be set to the columns to omit in the update clause

◆ UpsertResultDescriptionMap

const SqlUtil::AbstractTable::UpsertResultDescriptionMap
Initial value:
= {
"inserted": UR_Inserted,
"verified": UR_Verified,
"updated": UR_Updated,
"unchanged": UR_Unchanged,
"deleted": UR_Deleted,
}
const UR_Updated
row was updated because it was different (only possible with UpsertSelectFirst)
