Detailed Description

Meta-data for a field.

KDbField provides information about single database field.

KDbField class has defined following members:

  • name
  • type
  • database constraints
  • additional options
  • maxLength (makes sense mostly for string types)
  • maxLengthStrategy (makes sense mostly for string types)
  • precision (for floating-point type)
  • defaultValue
  • caption (user readable name that can be e.g. translated)
  • description (user readable name additional text, can be useful for developers)
  • defaultWidth (a hint for displaying in tabular mode or as text box)

KDbField can also have assigned expression (see KDbExpression class, and expression() method).

Note that aliases for fields are defined within query, not in KDbField object, because the same field can be used in different queries with different alias.

Notes for advanced use: KDbField obeject is designed to be owned by a parent object. Such a parent object can be KDbTableSchema, if the field defines single table column, or KDbQuerySchema, if the field defines an expression (KDbExpression class).

Using expression class for fields allos to define expressions within queries like "SELECT AVG(price) FROM products"

You can choose whether your field is owned by query or table, using appropriate constructor, or using parameterless constructor and calling setTable() or setQuery() later.

See also
table()

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Definition at line 600 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ query() [2/2]

const KDbQuerySchema * KDbField::query ( ) const

Definition at line 605 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ scale()

int KDbField::scale ( ) const
Returns
scale for numeric and other fields that have both length (scale) and precision (floating point types). The scale of a numeric is the count of decimal digits in the fractional part, to the right of the decimal point. The precision of a numeric is the total count of significant digits in the whole number, that is, the number of digits to both sides of the decimal point. So the number 23.5141 has a precision of 6 and a scale of 4. Integers can be considered to have a scale of zero.

Definition at line 291 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setAutoIncrement()

void KDbField::setAutoIncrement ( bool a)

Sets auto increment flag. Only available to set true, if isAutoIncrementAllowed() is true.

Definition at line 857 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setCaption()

void KDbField::setCaption ( const QString & caption)

Sets caption for this field to caption.

Definition at line 321 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setConstraints()

void KDbField::setConstraints ( Constraints c)

Sets constraints to c. If PrimaryKey is set in c, also constraits implied by being primary key are enforced (see setPrimaryKey()). If Indexed is not set in c, constraits implied by not being are enforced as well (see setIndexed()).

Definition at line 630 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setCustomProperty()

void KDbField::setCustomProperty ( const QByteArray & propertyName,
const QVariant & value )

Sets value value for custom property propertyName.

Definition at line 1042 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setDefaultMaxLength()

void KDbField::setDefaultMaxLength ( int maxLength)
static

Sets default maximum length of text. 0 means unlimited length, greater than 0 means specific maximum length.

Definition at line 650 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setDefaultValue() [1/2]

bool KDbField::setDefaultValue ( const QByteArray & def)

Sets default value decoded from QByteArray. Decoding errors are detected (value is strictly checked against field type)

  • if one is encountered, default value is cleared (defaultValue()==QVariant()).
    Returns
    true if given value was valid for field type.

Definition at line 716 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setDefaultValue() [2/2]

void KDbField::setDefaultValue ( const QVariant & def)

Sets default value for this field. Setting null value removes the default value.

See also
defaultValue()

Definition at line 711 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setDescription()

void KDbField::setDescription ( const QString & description)

Sets description for this field to description.

Definition at line 336 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setEnumHints()

void KDbField::setEnumHints ( const QVector< QString > & hints)

Sets the hint for enum fields

Definition at line 351 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setExpression()

void KDbField::setExpression ( const KDbExpression & expr)

Sets expression data expr. If there was already expression set, it is removed before new assignment. This KDbField object becames logical owner of expr object, so do not use the expression for other objects (you can call KDbExpression::clone()). Current field's expression is deleted, if exists.

Because the field defines an expression, it should be assigned to a query, not to a table, otherwise this call will not have any effect.

Definition at line 1021 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setForeignKey()

void KDbField::setForeignKey ( bool f)

Sets whether the field has to be declared with single-field foreign key. Used in KDbIndexSchema::setForeigKey().

Definition at line 894 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setIndexed()

void KDbField::setIndexed ( bool s)

Specifies whether the field is indexed (KDb::Indexed item) (by single-field implicit index) or not. Use this with caution. Since index is used to control unique, not null/empty constratins, setting this to false implies setting:

  • setPrimaryKey(false)
  • setUniqueKey(false)
  • setNotNull(false)
  • setNotEmpty(false) because above flags need index to be present. Similarly, setting one of the above flags to true, will automatically do setIndexed(true) for the same reason.

Definition at line 915 of file KDbField.cpp.

◆ setMaxLength()

void KDbField::setMaxLength ( int maxLength)

Sets maximum length for this field. Only works for Text type. It can be specific maximum value or 0 for unlimited length (which will work if engine supports). Resets maxLengthStrategy property to DefinedMaxLength. To reset to default maximum length, call setMaxLength(defaultMaxLength()) and then to indicate this is based on default setting, call setMaxLengthStrategy(DefaultMaxLength).

◆ setMaxLengthStrategy()

void KDbField::setMaxLengthStrategy ( MaxLengthStrategy strategy)

Sets strategy for defining maximum length of text for this field. Only makes sense if the field type is Text. Default strategy is DefinedMaxLength. Changing this value does not affect maxLength property.

Fields with DefaultMaxLength strategy does not follow changes made by calling setDefaultMaxLength() so to update the default maximum lengths in fields, the app has to iterate over all fields of type Text, and reset to the new default as explained in setMaxLength() documentation. See documentation for setMaxLength() for information how to reset maxLength to default value.

  • setNotEmpty(true)
  • setIndexed(true)

Setting this to false implies setting setAutoIncrement(false).

should we keep extended properties here or move them to a QVariant dictionary?
Returns
number of decimal places that should be visible to the user, e.g. within table view widget, form or printout. Only meaningful if the field type is floating point or (in the future: decimal or currency).
  • Any value less than 0 (-1 is the default) means that there should be displayed all digits of the fractional part, except the ending zeros. This is known as "auto" mode. For example, 12.345000 becomes 12.345.
  • Value of 0 means that all the fractional part should be hidden (as well as the dot or comma). For example, 12.345000 becomes 12.
  • Value N > 0 means that the fractional part should take exactly N digits. If the fractional part is shorter than N, additional zeros are appended. For example, "12.345" becomes "12.345000" if N=6.
