## Detailed Description

SQL parser.

The Gda::SqlParser is an object dedicated to creating Gda::Statement and Gda::Batch objects from SQL strings. The actual contents of the parsed statements is represented as Gda::SqlStatement structures (which can be obtained from any Gda::Statement through the "structure" property).

Gda::SqlParser parsers can be created by calling Gda::ServerProvider::create_parser() for a provider adapted SQL parser, or using create() for a general purpose SQL parser.

The Gda::SqlParser can either work in "parse" mode where it will try to parse the SQL string, or in "delimiter" mode where it will only attempt at delimiting SQL statements in a string which may contain several SQL statements (usually separated by a semi column). If operating in "parser" mode, and the parser can't correctly parse the string, then it will switch to the "delimiter" mode for the next statement in the string to parse (and create a STATEMENT_UNKNOWN statement).

The Gda::SqlParser object parses and analyses SQL statements and reports the following statement types:

- SELECT (and COMPOUND select), INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE SQL statements should be completely parsed.

- Transaction related statements (corresponding to the BEGIN, COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK SAVEPOINT and DELETE SAVEPOINT) are parsed and a minimalist structure is created to extract some information (that structure is not enough per-se to re-create the complete SQL statement).

Any other type of SQL statement (CREATE TABLE, ...) creates a GdaStatement of type STATEMENT_UNKNOWN, and it only able to locate place holders (variables) and end of statement marks.

NOTE: Any SQL of a type which should be parsed which but which creates a Gda::Statement of type GDA_SQL_STATEMENT_UNKNOWN (check with Gda::Statement::get_statement_type()) should be reported as a bug.

The Gda::SqlParser object recognizes place holders (variables), which can later be queried and valued using Gda::Statement::get_parameters(). See the syntax description for the underlying GdaSqlParser.

## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<SqlParser> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::create | ( | ) | `[static]`

GdaSqlParser* Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::gobj | ( | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

const GdaSqlParser* Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::gobj | ( | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GdaSqlParser* Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::gobj_copy | ( | ) |

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

Glib::RefPtr<Batch> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::parse_file_as_batch | ( | const std::string & | filename ) |

Parse filename's contents and creates a Gda::Batch object which contains all the Gda::Statement objects created while parsing (one object per SQL statement).

filename's contents are parsed and Gda::Statement objects are created as long as no error is found. If an error is found at some point, then the parsing stops, error may be set and `0` is returned

if sql is `0`, then the returned Gda::Batch object will contain no statement.

Parameters:

  filename | Name of the file to parse.

Returns:
  A new Gda::Batch object, or `0` if an error occurred.

Glib::RefPtr<Statement> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::parse_string | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql,
|  | Glib::ustring & | remain
| ) |  |

Parses sql and creates a Gda::Statement statement from the first SQL statement contained in sql: if sql contains more than one statement, then the remaining part of the string is not parsed at all, and remain (if not `0`) will point at the first non parsed character.

To include variables in the sql string, see the <link linkend="GdaSqlParser.description">GdaSqlParser's object description</link>.

Parameters:

  sql | The SQL string to parse.
  remain | Location to store a pointer to remaining part of sql in case sql has multiple statement, or `0`.

Returns:
  A new Gda::Statement object, or `0` if an error occurred.

Glib::RefPtr<Statement> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::parse_string | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql ) |

Glib::RefPtr<Batch> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::parse_string_as_batch | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql ) |

Glib::RefPtr<Batch> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::parse_string_as_batch | ( | const Glib::ustring & | sql,
|  | Glib::ustring & | remain
| ) |  |

Parse sql and creates a Gda::Batch object which contains all the Gda::Statement objects created while parsing (one object per SQL statement).

Empty statements (composed of spaces only) do not appear in the resulting object.

sql is parsed and Gda::Statement objects are created as long as no error is found in sql. If an error is found at some point, then the parsing stops and remain may contain a non `0` pointer, error may be set, and `0` is returned.

if sql is `0`, then the returned Gda::Batch object will contain no statement.

To include variables in the sql string, see the <link linkend="GdaSqlParser.description">GdaSqlParser's object description</link>.

Parameters:

  sql | The SQL string to parse.
  remain | Location to store a pointer to remaining part of sql in case an error occurred while parsing sql, or `0`.

Returns:
  A new Gda::Batch object, or `0` if an error occurred.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<int> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::property_column_error | ( | ) | const

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

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

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<int> Gnome::Gda::SqlParser::property_line_error | ( | ) | const

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

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

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
