Detailed Description

SQL field type information.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::mysql_type_info (  )  [inline]

Default constructor.

This only exists because FieldTypes keeps a vector of these objects. You are expected to copy real values into it before using it via the copy ctor or one of the assignment operators. If you don't, we have arranged a pretty spectacular crash for your program. So there.

mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::mysql_type_info ( enum_field_types  t,
bool  _unsigned = false,
bool  _null = false 
) [inline]

Create object from MySQL C API type info.

Parameters:
t the underlying C API type ID for this type
_unsigned if true, this is the unsigned version of the type
_null if true, this type can hold a SQL null

mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::mysql_type_info ( const std::type_info &  t  )  [inline]

Create object from a C++ type_info object.

This tries to map a C++ type to the closest MySQL data type. It is necessarily somewhat approximate.


Member Function Documentation

mysql_type_info& mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::operator= ( const std::type_info &  t  )  [inline]

Assign a C++ type_info object to this object.

This tries to map a C++ type to the closest MySQL data type. It is necessarily somewhat approximate.

const char* mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::name (  )  const [inline]

Returns an implementation-defined name of the C++ type.

Returns the name that would be returned by typeid().name() for the C++ type associated with the SQL type.

const char* mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::sql_name (  )  const [inline]

Returns the name of the SQL type.

Returns the SQL name for the type.

const std::type_info& mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::c_type (  )  const [inline]

Returns the type_info for the C++ type associated with the SQL type.

Returns the C++ type_info record corresponding to the SQL type.

Referenced by escape_q(), quote_q(), and mysqlpp::SQLBuffer::quote_q().

const mysql_type_info mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::base_type (  )  const [inline]

Returns the type_info for the C++ type inside of the mysqlpp::Null type.

Returns the type_info for the C++ type inside the mysqlpp::Null type. If the type is not Null then this is the same as c_type().

Referenced by quote_q(), and mysqlpp::SQLBuffer::quote_q().

int mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::id (  )  const [inline]

Returns the ID of the SQL type.

Returns the ID number MySQL uses for this type. Note: Do not depend on the value of this ID as it may change between MySQL versions.

bool mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::quote_q (  )  const

Returns true if the SQL type is of a type that needs to be quoted.

Returns:
true if the type needs to be quoted for syntactically correct SQL.

References base_type(), and c_type().

Referenced by mysqlpp::SQLBuffer::quote_q().

bool mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::escape_q (  )  const

Returns true if the SQL type is of a type that needs to be escaped.

Returns:
true if the type needs to be escaped for syntactically correct SQL.

References c_type().

Referenced by mysqlpp::SQLBuffer::escape_q().

bool mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::before ( mysql_type_info b  )  [inline]

Provides a way to compare two types for sorting.

Returns true if the SQL ID of this type is lower than that of another. Used by mysqlpp::type_info_cmp when comparing types.

References num_.


Member Data Documentation

const enum_field_types mysqlpp::mysql_type_info::string_type [static]

Initial value:




                FIELD_TYPE_STRING
The internal constant we use for our string type.

We expose this because other parts of MySQL++ need to know what the string constant is at the moment.

Referenced by mysqlpp::SQLTypeAdapter::assign(), mysqlpp::SQLBuffer::is_string(), mysqlpp::String::it_is_null(), mysqlpp::String::operator=(), and mysqlpp::String::type().
