Detailed Description

Class to manipulate the definition of a virtual layer.

It is used to extract parameters from an initial virtual layer definition as well as to store the complete, expanded definition once types have been detected.

static

Constructor to build a definition from a QUrl The path part of the URL is extracted as well as the following optional keys: layer_ref=layer_id[:name] represents a live layer referenced by its ID.

An optional name can be given layer=provider:source[:name[:encoding]] represents a layer given by its provider key, its source url (URL-encoded). An optional name and encoding can be given geometry=column_name[:type:srid] gives the definition of the geometry column. Type can be either a WKB type code or a string (point, linestring, etc.) srid is an integer uid=column_name is the name of a column with unique integer values. nogeometry is a flag to force the layer to be a non-geometry layer query=sql represents the SQL query. Must be URL-encoded field=column_name:[int|real|text] represents a field with its name and its type subsetstring=subset_string represents the subsetstring
