Detailed Description

Class providing some utility methods to manage auxiliary storage.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsAuxiliaryStorage() [1/2]

QgsAuxiliaryStorage::QgsAuxiliaryStorage	(	const QgsProject &	project,
		bool	copy = `true`
	)

Constructor.

The project filename is used to build a database path at the same location, but with a different extension. Then, it's the same logic as described for

See also: QgsAuxiliaryStorage(const QString &, bool copy).

Parameters

project	The project for which the auxiliary storage has to be used
copy	Parameter indicating if a copy of the database has to be used

Definition at line 501 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ QgsAuxiliaryStorage() [2/2]

QgsAuxiliaryStorage::QgsAuxiliaryStorage	(	const QString &	filename = `QString()`,
		bool	copy = `true`
	)

Constructor.

If a valid database path is given in parameter and copy mode is deactivated, then every changes is directly committed on the original database. But if the copy mode is activated, then changes are committed on a copy of the database (a temporary file) and a save action is therefore necessary to keep modifications in the original file.

If an empty string for the database path is given in parameter, then a database is created in a temporary file whatever the copy mode.

If the database path given in parameter is not empty but does not exist, then a database is created at this location when copy mode is deactivated. When copy mode is activated, a temporary database is used instead and a save action will be necessary to create the database at the original location given in parameter.

Parameters

filename	The path of the database
copy	Parameter indicating if a copy of the database has to be used

Definition at line 514 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ ~QgsAuxiliaryStorage()

QgsAuxiliaryStorage::~QgsAuxiliaryStorage ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 523 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ createAuxiliaryLayer()

QgsAuxiliaryLayer * QgsAuxiliaryStorage::createAuxiliaryLayer	(	const QgsField &	field,
		QgsVectorLayer *	layer
	)		const

Creates an auxiliary layer for a vector layer.

A new table is created if necessary. The primary key to use to construct the auxiliary layer is given in parameter.

Parameters

field	The primary key to join
layer	The vector layer for which the auxiliary layer has to be created

Returns: A new auxiliary layer or a nullptr if an error happened.

Definition at line 561 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ currentFileName()

QString QgsAuxiliaryStorage::currentFileName ( ) const

Returns the path of the current database used.

It may be different from the target filename if the auxiliary storage is opened in copy mode.

Definition at line 789 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ deleteTable()

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::deleteTable ( const QgsDataSourceUri & uri )

static

Removes a table from the auxiliary storage.

Parameters

uri	The uri of the table to remove

Returns: true if the table is well deleted, false otherwise

Definition at line 586 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ duplicateTable()

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::duplicateTable	(	const QgsDataSourceUri &	uri,
		const QString &	newTable
	)

static

Duplicates a table and its content.

Parameters

uri	The uri of the table to duplicate
newTable	The name of the new table

Returns: true if the table is well duplicated, false otherwise

Definition at line 609 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ exists()

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::exists ( const QgsProject & project )

static

Returns true if the auxiliary database yet exists for a project, false otherwise.

Parameters

project The project for which the database is checked

Since: QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 647 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ extension()

QString QgsAuxiliaryStorage::extension ( )

static

Returns the extension used for auxiliary databases.

Definition at line 642 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ fileName()

QString QgsAuxiliaryStorage::fileName ( ) const

Returns the target filename of the database.

Definition at line 533 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ isValid()

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::isValid ( ) const

Returns the status of the auxiliary storage currently defined.

Returns: true if the auxiliary storage is valid, false otherwise

Definition at line 528 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ save()

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::save ( ) const

Saves the current database.

Returns: true if everything is saved, false otherwise

Definition at line 538 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ saveAs() [1/2]

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::saveAs ( const QString & filename ) const

Saves the current database to a new path.

Returns: true if everything is saved, false otherwise

Definition at line 629 of file qgsauxiliarystorage.cpp.

◆ saveAs() [2/2]

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::saveAs ( const QgsProject & project ) const

Saves the current database to a new path for a specific project.

Actually, the current filename of the project is used to deduce the path of the database to save.

Returns: true if everything is saved, false otherwise
