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

◆ 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
filenameThe path of the database
copyParameter indicating if a copy of the database has to be used

◆ ~QgsAuxiliaryStorage()

virtual QgsAuxiliaryStorage::~QgsAuxiliaryStorage ( )
virtual

Destructor.

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
fieldThe primary key to join
layerThe vector layer for which the auxiliary layer has to be created
Returns
A new auxiliary layer or nullptr if an error happened.

◆ 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.

◆ deleteTable()

static bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::deleteTable ( const QgsDataSourceUri uri)
static

Removes a table from the auxiliary storage.

Parameters
uriThe uri of the table to remove
Returns
true if the table is well deleted, false otherwise

◆ duplicateTable()

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

Duplicates a table and its content.

Parameters
uriThe uri of the table to duplicate
newTableThe name of the new table
Returns
true if the table is well duplicated, false otherwise

◆ errorString()

QString QgsAuxiliaryStorage::errorString ( ) const

Returns the underlying error string describing potential errors happening in saveAs().

Empty by default.

Since
QGIS 3.4

◆ exists()

static bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::exists ( const QgsProject project)
static

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

Parameters
projectThe project for which the database is checked
Since
QGIS 3.2

◆ extension()

static QString QgsAuxiliaryStorage::extension ( )
static

Returns the extension used for auxiliary databases.

◆ fileName()

QString QgsAuxiliaryStorage::fileName ( ) const

Returns the target filename of the database.

◆ isValid()

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::isValid ( ) const

Returns the status of the auxiliary storage currently defined.

Returns
true if the auxiliary storage is valid, false otherwise

◆ save()

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::save ( ) const

Saves the current database.

Returns
true if everything is saved, false otherwise

◆ saveAs() [1/2]

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::saveAs ( const QgsProject project)

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

◆ saveAs() [2/2]

bool QgsAuxiliaryStorage::saveAs ( const QString &  filename)

Saves the current database to a new path.

Returns
true if everything is saved, false otherwise
