Detailed Description

The QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection class provides common functionality for DB based connections.

This class performs low level DB operations without asking the user for confirmation or handling currently opened layers and the registry entries, it is responsibility of the client code to keep layers in sync. The class methods will throw exceptions in case the requested operation is not supported or cannot be performed without errors.

Since: QGIS 3.10

virtual

Search the stored layer metadata in the connection, optionally limiting the search to the metadata identifier, title, abstract, keywords and categories.

searchContext context for the search searchString limit the search to metadata having an extent intersecting geographicExtent, an optional feedback can be used to monitor and control the search process.

The default implementation raises a QgsNotSupportedException, data providers may implement the search functionality.

A QgsProviderConnectionException is raised in case of errors happening during the search for providers that implement the search functionality.

Returns: a (possibly empty) list of QgsLayerMetadataProviderResult, throws a QgsProviderConnectionException if any error occurred during the search.
