Implemented Interfaces

GdaDataProxy implements GdaDataModel.

Description

This object stores modifications to be made to a GdaDataModel object which is proxied until the modifications are actually written to the GdaDataModel, it can also filter the proxied data model to show only a subset (a defined number of continuous rows or by a filter to apply).

Specifically, for a proxied data model having nb_cols columns and nb_rows rows, the GdaDataProxy object has the following attributes:

  • 2 * nb_cols columns:

    • the first (>= 0) nb_cols columns are the current values stored in the proxy (which correspond to the values of the proxied data model if the considered row has not been changed). The associated values are writable.

    • the last nb_cols columns are the values stored in the proxied data model, at column col - nb_cols

  • a variable number of rows depending on the following attributes:

    • if the proxy is configured to have an empty row as the first row

    • if the proxy only displays parts of the proxied data model

    • if new rows have been added to the proxy

  • Any GdaDataModelIter iterator created will only make appear the colmuns as present in the proxied data model, not any of the other columns

This situation is illustrated in the following schema, where there is a direct mapping between the proxy's rows and the proxied data model's rows:

GdaDataProxy's values mapping regarding the proxied data model

Note that unless explicitly mentioned, the columns are read-only.

The following figures illustrate row mappings between the data proxy and the proxied data model in several situations (which can be combined, but are shown alone for simplicity):

  • situation where rows 1 and 5 have been marked as deleted from the data proxy, using gda_data_proxy_delete() method, the data proxy has 2 rows less than the proxied data model:

    GdaDataProxy with 2 rows marked as deleted

  • situation where the data proxy only shows a sample of the proxied data model at any given time, using the gda_data_proxy_set_sample_size() method (the sample here is 4 rows wide, and starts at row 3):

    GdaDataProxy with a sample size of 4

  • situation where the data proxy shows a row of NULL values, using the "prepend-null-entry" property:

    GdaDataProxy with an extra row of NULL values

  • situation where a row has been added to the data proxy, using for example the gda_data_model_append_row() method:

    GdaDataProxy where a row has been added

The GdaDataProxy objects are thread safe, which means any proxy object can be used from any thread at the same time as they implement their own locking mechanisms.

Returns

TRUE if no error occurred


gda_data_proxy_cancel_all_changes ()

gboolean
gda_data_proxy_cancel_all_changes (GdaDataProxy *proxy);

Cancel all the changes stored in the proxy (the proxy will be reset to its state as it was just after creation). Note that if there are some cached changes (i.e. not applied to the current proxied data model), then these cached changes are not cleared (set the "cache-changes" property to FALSE for this).

Parameters

Returns

TRUE if no error occurred


gda_data_proxy_set_sample_size ()

void
gda_data_proxy_set_sample_size (GdaDataProxy *proxy,
                                gint sample_size);

Sets the size of each chunk of data to display: the maximum number of rows which can be "displayed" at a time (the maximum number of rows which proxy pretends to have). The default value is arbitrary 300 as it is big enough to be able to display quite a lot of data, but small enough to avoid too much data displayed at the same time.

Note: the rows which have been added but not yet committed will always be displayed regardless of the current chunk of data, and the modified rows which are not visible when the displayed chunk of data changes are still held as modified rows.

To remove the chunking of the data to display, simply pass sample_size the 0 value.

Parameters

proxy

a GdaDataProxy object

 

sample_size

the requested size of a chunk, or 0

 

gda_data_proxy_get_sample_size ()

gint
gda_data_proxy_get_sample_size (GdaDataProxy *proxy);

Get the size of each chunk of data displayed at a time.

Parameters

proxy

a GdaDataProxy object

 

Returns

the chunk (or sample) size, or 0 if chunking is disabled.

Sets the number of the first row to be available in proxy (in reference to the proxied data model)

Parameters

proxy

a GdaDataProxy object

 

sample_start

the number of the first row to be displayed

 

gda_data_proxy_get_sample_start ()

gint
gda_data_proxy_get_sample_start (GdaDataProxy *proxy);

Returns

the number of the first proxied model's row.

gda_data_proxy_set_filter_expr ()

                                GError **error);

Sets a filter among the rows presented by proxy . The filter is defined by a filter expression which can be any SQL valid expression using proxy 's columns. For instance if proxy has the "id" and "name" columns, then a filter can be "length(name) < 5" to filter only the rows where the length of the name is strictly inferior to 5, or "id >= 1000 and id < 2000 order by name limit 50" to filter only the rows where the id is between 1000 and 2000, ordered by name and limited to 50 rows.

Note about column names: real column names can be used (double quoted if necessary), but columns can also be named "_<column number>" with column numbers starting at 1.

Note that any previous filter expression is replaced with the new filter_expr if no error occurs (if an error occurs, then any previous filter is left unchanged).

Parameters

proxy

a GdaDataProxy object

 

filter_expr

an SQL based expression which will filter the contents of proxy , or NULL to remove any previous filter.

[allow-none]

error

a place to store errors, or NULL

 

Returns

TRUE if no error occurred

const gchar *
gda_data_proxy_get_filter_expr (GdaDataProxy *proxy);

Returns

the current filter expression or NULL if no filter has been set


gda_data_proxy_set_ordering_column ()

gboolean

gda_data_proxy_get_filtered_n_rows ()

gint
gda_data_proxy_get_filtered_n_rows (GdaDataProxy *proxy);

Get the total number of filtered rows in proxy if a filter has been applied. As new rows (rows added to the proxy and not yet added to the proxied data model) and rows to remove (rows marked for removal but not yet removed from the proxied data model) are also filtered, the returned number also contains references to new rows and rows to be removed.

Parameters

proxy

a GdaDataProxy object

 

Returns

the number of filtered rows in proxy , or -1 if no filter has been applied

Property Details

The “cache-changes” property

  “cache-changes”            gboolean

Defines how changes kept in the data proxy are handled when the proxied data model is changed (using the "model" property). The default is to silently discard all the changes, but if this property is set to TRUE, then the changes are cached.

If set to TRUE, each cached change will be re-applied to a newly set proxied data model if the change's number of columns match the proxied data model's number of columns and based on:

  • the contents of the proxied data model's modified row for updates and deletes

  • the inserts are always kept

Default value: FALSE

Since: 5.2
