Member Enumeration Documentation

Flag

enum QgsFeatureSink::Flag

Flags controlling how features are added to a sink.

Enumerator
FastInsert	Use faster inserts, at the cost of updating the passed features to reflect changes made at the provider. This includes skipping the update of the passed feature IDs to match the resulting feature IDs for the feature within the data provider. Individual sink subclasses may or may not choose to respect this flag, depending on whether or not skipping this update represents a significant speed boost for the operation.
RollBackOnErrors	Roll back the whole transaction if a single add feature operation fails. Individual sink subclasses may choose to ignore this flag and always roll back while other providers will respect the flag and accept partial additions if this flag is not set.

Definition at line 59 of file qgsfeaturesink.h.

SinkFlag

enum QgsFeatureSink::SinkFlag

Flags that can be set on a QgsFeatureSink.

Not all sinks may implement all flags.

Since

QGIS 3.4

Enumerator

RegeneratePrimaryKey

This flag indicates, that a primary key field cannot be guaranteed to be unique and the sink should ignore it if somehow possible. This should for example be set for a geopackage file if the field "fid" has a risk to contain duplicate entries. In this case sinks like QgsVectorFileWriter or QgsVectorLayerExporter will prefer to regenerate the fid instead of trying to reuse the fids provided in addFeature calls. Since QGIS 3.4

Member Function Documentation

addFeature()

bool QgsFeatureSink::addFeature ( QgsFeature &  feature, QgsFeatureSink::Flags  flags = QgsFeatureSink::Flags()  )

virtual

Adds a single feature to the sink.

Feature addition behavior is controlled by the specified flags.

See also

addFeatures()

Returns

true in case of success and false in case of failure

Reimplemented in QgsVectorLayer, QgsVectorDataProviderFeaturePool, QgsVectorLayerFeaturePool, QgsProcessingFeatureSink, QgsFeatureStore, QgsProxyFeatureSink, QgsRemappingProxyFeatureSink, QgsSpatialIndex, QgsVectorFileWriter, and QgsVectorLayerExporter.

Definition at line 25 of file qgsfeaturesink.cpp.

addFeatures() [1/2]

bool QgsFeatureSink::addFeatures ( QgsFeatureIterator &  iterator, QgsFeatureSink::Flags  flags = QgsFeatureSink::Flags()  )

virtual

Adds all features from the specified iterator to the sink.

Feature addition behavior is controlled by the specified flags.

Returns

true if all features were added successfully, or false if any feature could not be added

Reimplemented in QgsProcessingFeatureSink, QgsProxyFeatureSink, and QgsRemappingProxyFeatureSink.

Definition at line 39 of file qgsfeaturesink.cpp.

addFeatures() [2/2]

virtual bool QgsFeatureSink::addFeatures ( QgsFeatureList &  features, QgsFeatureSink::Flags  flags = QgsFeatureSink::Flags()  )

pure virtual

Adds a list of features to the sink.

Feature addition behavior is controlled by the specified flags.

See also

addFeature()

Returns

true in case of success and false in case of failure

Implemented in QgsVectorLayer, QgsVectorDataProviderFeaturePool, QgsVectorLayerFeaturePool, QgsProcessingFeatureSink, QgsFeatureStore, QgsProxyFeatureSink, QgsRemappingProxyFeatureSink, QgsSpatialIndex, QgsVectorFileWriter, QgsVectorLayerExporter, QgsVectorLayerJoinBuffer, and QgsVectorDataProvider.

finalize()

void QgsFeatureSink::finalize ( )

virtual

Finalizes the sink, flushing any buffered features to the destination.

Since

QGIS 3.42

Reimplemented in QgsProcessingFeatureSink, and QgsProxyFeatureSink.

Definition at line 20 of file qgsfeaturesink.cpp.

flushBuffer()

virtual bool QgsFeatureSink::flushBuffer ( )

inlinevirtual

Flushes any internal buffer which may exist in the sink, causing any buffered features to be added to the sink's destination.

Returns

false if any buffered features could not be added to the sink.

Reimplemented in QgsProxyFeatureSink, and QgsVectorLayerExporter.

Definition at line 114 of file qgsfeaturesink.h.

lastError()

virtual QString QgsFeatureSink::lastError ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the most recent error encountered by the sink, e.g.

when a call to addFeatures() returns false.

Since

QGIS 3.16

Reimplemented in QgsProxyFeatureSink, QgsRemappingProxyFeatureSink, QgsVectorFileWriter, QgsVectorDataProvider, and QgsVectorLayerExporter.
