Description

Libgda manages each individual value within an opaque GValue structure. Any GValue type can be used, and Libgda adds a few more data types usually found in DBMS such as NUMERIC, TIME, TIMESTAMP, GEOMETRIC POINT, BINARY and BLOB.

Libgda makes a distinction between binary and blob types

  • binary data can be inserted into an SQL statement using a (DBMS dependent) syntax, such as "X'ABCD'" syntax for SQLite or the binary strings syntax for PostgreSQL. Binary data is manipulated using a GdaBinary structure (which is basically a bytes buffer and a length attribute).

  • blob data are a special feature that some DBMS have which requires some non SQL code to manipulate them. Usually only a reference is stored in each table containing a blob, and the actual blob data resides somewhere on the disk (while still being managed transparently by the database). For example PotsgreSQL stores blobs as files on the disk and references them using object identifiers (Oid). Blob data is manipulated using a GdaBlob structure which encapsulates a GdaBinary structure and adds a reference to a GdaBlobOp object used to read and write data from and to the blob.

Please note that is distinction between binary data and blobs is Libgda only and does not reflect the DBMS's documentations; for instance MySQL has several BLOB types but Libgda interprets them as binary types.

Each provider or connection can be queried about its blob support using the gda_server_provider_supports_feature() or gda_connection_supports_feature() methods.

There are two special value types which are:

  • the GDA_TYPE_NULL value which never changes and acutally represents an SQL NULL value

  • the GDA_TYPE_DEFAULT value which represents a default value which Libgda does not interpret (such as when a table column's default value is a function call)

Converts a GValue to its string representation which is a human readable value. Note that the returned string does not take into account the current locale of the user (on the contrary to the GdaDataHandler objects). Using this function should be limited to debugging and values serialization purposes.

Dates are converted in a YYYY-MM-DD format.

value :

a GValue.

Returns :

a new string, or NULL if the conversion cannot be done. Free the value with a g_free() when you've finished using it. [transfer full]

gda_value_differ ()

gint                gda_value_differ                    (const GValue *value1,
                                                         const GValue *value2);

Tells if two values are equal or not, by comparing memory representations. Unlike gda_value_compare(), the returned value is boolean, and gives no idea about ordering.

The two values must be of the same type, with the exception that a value of any type can be compared to a GDA_TYPE_NULL value, specifically:

  • if value1 and value2 are both GDA_TYPE_NULL values then the returned value is 0

  • if value1 is a GDA_TYPE_NULL value and value2 is of another type then the returned value is 1

  • if value1 is of another type and value2 is a GDA_TYPE_NULL value then the returned value is 1

  • in all other cases, value1 and value2 must be of the same type and their values are compared

value1 :

a GValue to compare.

value2 :

the other GValue to be compared to value1.

Returns :

a non 0 value if value1 and value2 differ, and 0 if they are equal

                                                         const GValue *value2);

Compares two values of the same type, with the exception that a value of any type can be compared to a GDA_TYPE_NULL value, specifically:

  • if value1 and value2 are both GDA_TYPE_NULL values then the returned value is 0

  • if value1 is a GDA_TYPE_NULL value and value2 is of another type then the returned value is -1

  • if value1 is of another type and value2 is a GDA_TYPE_NULL value then the returned value is 1

  • in all other cases, value1 and value2 must be of the same type and their values are compared

value1 :

a GValue to compare (not NULL)

value2 :

the other GValue to be compared to value1 (not NULL)

Returns :

if both values have the same type, returns 0 if both contain the same value, an integer less than 0 if value1 is less than value2 or an integer greater than 0 if value1 is greater than value2.

                                                         guint maxlen);

Converts all the non printable characters of bin->data into the "\xyz" representation where "xyz" is the octal representation of the byte, and the '\' (backslash) character is converted to "\\". Printable characters (defined by g_ascii_isprint()) as well as newline character are not converted.

Note that the backslash and newline characters are considered as printable characters and will not be represented by the "\xyz" representation.

Use this function to get a representation as much readable by humans as possible of a binary chunk. Note that this function is internally called when transforming a binary value to a string for example when using g_value_transform() or gda_value_stringify().

I str is NULL, then an empty (i.e. where the data part is NULL) GdaBinary is created and returned.

Returns :
