Properties are used to pass custom configuration options into data providers.
This enum defines a list of custom properties which can be used on different providers. It depends on the provider, which properties are supported. In addition to these default properties, providers can add their custom properties starting from CustomData.
Definition at line 93 of file qgsdataprovider.h.
Flags which control dataprovider construction.
Enumerator | |
---|---|
FlagTrustDataSource | Trust datasource config (primary key unicity, geometry type and srid, etc). Improves provider load time by skipping expensive checks like primary key unicity, geometry type and srid and by using estimated metadata on data load. Since QGIS 3.16. |
SkipFeatureCount | Make featureCount() return -1 to indicate unknown, and subLayers() to return a unknown feature count as well. Since QGIS 3.18. Only implemented by OGR provider at time of writing. |
FlagLoadDefaultStyle | Reset the layer's style to the default for the datasource. |
SkipGetExtent | Skip the extent from provider. |

pure virtual |
Returns the coordinate system for the data source.
If the provider isn't capable of returning its projection then an invalid QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem will be returned.
|
signal |
Emitted whenever a change is made to the data provider which may have caused changes in the provider's data OUTSIDE of QGIS.
When emitted from a QgsVectorDataProvider, any cached information such as feature ids should be invalidated.
|
inlinevirtual |
Returns a short comment for the data that this provider is providing access to (e.g.
the comment for postgres table).
Reimplemented in QgsVectorDataProvider.

This may be a path or database connection string
expandAuthConfig | Whether to expand any assigned authentication configuration |

Reimplemented in QgsRasterDataProvider.
Definition at line 425 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

pure virtual |
Returns description.
Returns a terse string describing what the provider is.
Instead of being pure virtual, might be better to generalize this behavior and presume that none of the sub-classes are going to do anything strange with regards to their name or description?

inlinevirtual |
Enter update mode.
This is aimed at providers that can open differently the connection to the datasource, according it to be in update mode or in read-only mode. A call to this method shall be balanced with a call to leaveUpdateMode(), if this method returns true
.
Most providers will have an empty implementation for that method.
For backward compatibility, providers that implement enterUpdateMode() should still make sure to allow editing operations to work even if enterUpdateMode() is not explicitly called.
Several successive calls to enterUpdateMode() can be done. So there is a concept of stack of calls that must be handled by the provider. Only the first call to enterUpdateMode() will really turn update mode on.
true
in case of success (or no-op implementation), false
in case of failure.Definition at line 462 of file qgsdataprovider.h.
|
inlinevirtual |
Gets current status error.
This error describes some principal problem for which provider cannot work and thus is not valid. It is not last error after accessing data by block(), identify() etc.

pure virtual |
Returns the extent of the layer.
Implemented in QgsRasterDataProvider.
|
inlinevirtual |
Returns raster file filter string.
Returns a string suitable for a QFileDialog of raster file formats supported by the data provider. Naturally this will be an empty string for those data providers that do not deal with plain files, such as databases and servers.

inlinevirtual |
Returns vector file filter string.
Returns a string suitable for a QFileDialog of vector file formats supported by the data provider. Naturally this will be an empty string for those data providers that do not deal with plain files, such as databases and servers.

signal |
Emitted whenever a deferred extent calculation is completed by the provider.
Layers should connect to this signal and update their cached extents whenever it is emitted.
|
inlinevirtual |
Invalidate connections corresponding to specified name.
Definition at line 438 of file qgsdataprovider.h.
|
pure virtual |
Returns true
if this is a valid layer.
It is up to individual providers to determine what constitutes a valid layer.
|
inlinevirtual |
Returns layer metadata collected from the provider's source.
Individual data providers must implement this method if they support collecting metadata.

pure virtual |
Returns a provider name.
Essentially just returns the provider key. Should be used to build file dialogs so that providers can be shown with their supported types. Thus if more than one provider supports a given format, the user is able to select a specific provider to open that file.
Instead of being pure virtual, might be better to generalize this behavior and presume that none of the sub-classes are going to do anything strange with regards to their name or description?
