Query | query (const char *qstr=0) |
Return a new query object. | |
Query | query (const std::string &qstr) |

Returns information about database server's status. | |
unsigned long | thread_id () |
Returns the database server's thread ID for this connection. | |
Static Public Member Functions | |
bool | thread_aware () |
Returns true if both MySQL++ and database driver we're using were compiled with thread awareness. | |
void | thread_end () |
Tells the underlying database driver that this thread is done using the library. | |
bool | thread_start () |
Tells the underlying database driver that the current thread is now using its services. | |
Protected Member Functions | |
void | build_error_message (const char *core) |
Build an error message in the standard form used whenever one of the methods can't succeed because we're not connected to the database server. | |
void | copy (const Connection &other) |
Establish a new connection as a copy of an existing one. | |
bool | parse_ipc_method (const char *server, std::string &host, unsigned int &port, std::string &socket_name) |
Extract elements from the server parameter in formats suitable for passing to DBDriver::connect(). | |
Protected Attributes | |
std::string | error_message_ |
MySQL++ specific error, if any. |
This class is a thick wrapper around DBDriver, adding high-level error handling, utility functions, and abstraction away from underlying C API details.
|
Create object without connecting to the database server.
|
|
Create object and connect to database server in one step. This constructor allows you to most fully specify the options used when connecting to the database server.
|
|
Establish a new connection using the same parameters as an existing connection.
|
|
Connect to database after object is created. It's better to use the connect-on-create constructor if you can. See its documentation for the meaning of these parameters. If you call this method on an object that is already connected to a database server, the previous connection is dropped and a new connection is established. |
|
Returns true if connection was established successfully.
|
|
Establish a new connection as a copy of an existing one.
|
|
Returns the number of rows in a table.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table SQL query. |
|
Ask the database server to create a database.
|
|
Returns a reference to the current database driver.
|
|
Asks the database server to drop (destroy) a database.
|
|
Return error message for last error associated with this connection. Returns either a MySQL++-specific error message if one exists, or one from the current database driver otherwise. |
|
Get information about the IPC connection to the database server. String contains info about type of connection (e.g. TCP/IP, named pipe, Unix socket...) and the server hostname. |
|
Kill a database server thread.
|
|
Test whether any error has occurred within the object. Allows the object to be used in bool context, like this:
Connection conn; .... use conn if (conn) { ... nothing bad has happened since last successful use } else { ... some error has occurred } Prior to MySQL++ v3, the object was always falsy when we weren't connected. Now a true return simply indicates a lack of errors. If you've been using this to test for whether the connection is still up, you need to call connected() instead. |
|
"Pings" the database server
|
|
Return a new query object.
|
|
Return a new query object. The returned query object is tied to this connection object, so when you call a method like execute() on that object, the query is sent to the server this object is connected to.
|
|
Change to a different database managed by the database server we are connected to.
|
|
Sets a connection option.
Because there are so many Option subclasses, the actual effect of this function has a wide range. This mechanism abstracts away many things that are unrelated down at the database driver level, hiding them behind a coherent, type-safe interface. The rules about which options can be set, when, are up to the underlying database driver. Some must be set before the connection is established because they can only be used during that connection setup process. Others can be set at any time after the connection comes up. If you get it wrong, you'll get a BadOption exception.
|
|
Returns the database server's thread ID for this connection. This has nothing to do with threading on the client side. The only thing you can do with this value is pass it to kill(). |
|
Tells the underlying database driver that the current thread is now using its services. It's not necessary to call this from the thread that creates the connection as it's done automatically. This method exists for times when multiple threads may use this object; it allows the underlying database driver to set up any per-thread data structures it needs. The MySQL++ user manual's chapter on threads details two major strategies for dealing with connections in the face of threads. The Connection-per-thread option frees you from ever having to call this method. The other documented strategy is to use ConnectionPool, which opens the possibility for one thread to create a connection that another uses, so you do need to call this method in that case, or with any other similar strategy.
