<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QSqlCursor class provides browsing and editing of SQL
tables and views.
<p>
<p> A QSqlCursor is a database record (see <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a>) that
corresponds to a table or view within an SQL database (see <a href="qsqldatabase.html">QSqlDatabase</a>). There are two buffers in a cursor, one used for
browsing and one used for editing records. Each buffer contains a
list of fields which correspond to the fields in the table or
view.
<p> When positioned on a valid record, the browse buffer contains the
values of the current record's fields from the database. The edit
buffer is separate, and is used for editing existing records and
inserting new records.
<p> For browsing data, a cursor must first <a href="#select">select</a>() data from the
database. After a successful select() the cursor is active
(<a href="qsqlquery.html#isActive">isActive</a>() returns TRUE), but is initially not positioned on a
valid record (<a href="qsqlquery.html#isValid">isValid</a>() returns FALSE). To position the cursor on
a valid record, use one of the navigation functions, <a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>(),
<a href="qsqlquery.html#prev">prev</a>(), <a href="qsqlquery.html#first">first</a>(), <a href="qsqlquery.html#last">last</a>(), or <a href="qsqlquery.html#seek">seek</a>(). Once positioned on a valid
record, data can be retrieved from the browse buffer using
<a href="qsqlquery.html#value">value</a>(). If a navigation function is not successful, it returns
FALSE, the cursor will no longer be positioned on a valid record
and the values returned by value() are undefined.
<p> For example:
<p>
<pre> QSqlCursor cur( "staff" ); // Specify the table/view name
<a name="x2178"></a> cur.<a href="#select">select</a>(); // We'll retrieve every record
while ( cur.<a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>() ) {
<a name="x2179"></a> <a href="qapplication.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>( cur.<a href="qsqlquery.html#value">value</a>( "id" ).toString() + ": " +
cur.<a href="qsqlquery.html#value">value</a>( "surname" ).toString() + " " +
cur.<a href="qsqlquery.html#value">value</a>( "salary" ).toString() );
}
</pre>
<p> In the above example, a cursor is created specifying a table or
view name in the database. Then, <a href="#select">select</a>() is called, which can be
optionally parameterised to filter and order the records
retrieved. Each record in the cursor is retrieved using <a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>().
When next() returns FALSE, there are no more records to process,
and the loop terminates.
<p> For editing records (rows of data), a cursor contains a separate
edit buffer which is independent of the fields used when browsing.
The functions <a href="#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="#update">update</a>() and <a href="#del">del</a>() operate on the edit
buffer. This allows the cursor to be repositioned to other
records while simultaneously maintaining a separate buffer for
edits. You can get a pointer to the edit buffer using
<a href="#editBuffer">editBuffer</a>(). The <a href="#primeInsert">primeInsert</a>(), <a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>() and <a href="#primeDelete">primeDelete</a>()
functions also return a pointer to the edit buffer and prepare it
for insert, update and delete respectively. Edit operations only
affect a single row at a time. Note that update() and del()
require that the table or view contain a <a href="#primaryIndex">primaryIndex</a>() to ensure
that edit operations affect a unique record within the database.
<p> For example:
<p>
<pre> QSqlCursor cur( "prices" );
<a name="x2200"></a> cur.<a href="#select">select</a>( "id=202" );
if ( cur.<a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>() ) {
<a name="x2199"></a> <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a> *buffer = cur.<a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>();

</pre>
<p> To edit an existing database record, first move to the record you
wish to update. Call <a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>() to get the pointer to the
cursor's edit buffer. Then use this pointer to modify the values
in the edit buffer. Finally, call <a href="#update">update</a>() to save the changes to
the database. The values in the edit buffer will be used to
locate the appropriate record when updating the database (see
<a href="#primaryIndex">primaryIndex</a>()).
<p> Similarly, when deleting an existing database record, first move
to the record you wish to delete. Then, call <a href="#primeDelete">primeDelete</a>() to get
the pointer to the edit buffer. Finally, call <a href="#del">del</a>() to delete the
record from the database. Again, the values in the edit buffer
will be used to locate and delete the appropriate record.
<p> To insert a new record, call <a href="#primeInsert">primeInsert</a>() to get the pointer to
the edit buffer. Use this pointer to populate the edit buffer
with new values and then <a href="#insert">insert</a>() the record into the database.
<p> After calling insert(), update() or del(), the cursor is no longer
positioned on a valid record and can no longer be navigated
(<a href="qsqlquery.html#isValid">isValid</a>() return FALSE). The reason for this is that any changes
made to the database will not be visible until <a href="#select">select</a>() is called
to refresh the cursor. You can change this behavior by passing
FALSE to insert(), <a href="#update">update</a>() or del() which will prevent the cursor
from becoming invalid. The edits will still not be visible when
navigating the cursor until select() is called.
<p> QSqlCursor contains virtual methods which allow editing behavior
to be customized by subclasses. This allows custom cursors to be
created that encapsulate the editing behavior of a database table
for an entire application. For example, a cursor can be customized
to always auto-number primary index fields, or provide fields with
suitable default values, when inserting new records. QSqlCursor
generates SQL statements which are sent to the database engine;
you can control which fields are included in these statements
using <a href="#setGenerated">setGenerated</a>().
<p> Note that QSqlCursor does not inherit from <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>. This means
that you are responsible for destroying instances of this class
yourself. However if you create a QSqlCursor and use it in a
<a href="qdatatable.html">QDataTable</a>, <a href="qdatabrowser.html">QDataBrowser</a> or a <a href="qdataview.html">QDataView</a> these classes will
usually take ownership of the cursor and destroy it when they
don't need it anymore. The documentation for <a href="qdatatable.html">QDataTable</a>,
<a href="qdatabrowser.html">QDataBrowser</a> and <a href="qdataview.html">QDataView</a> explicitly states which calls take
ownership of the cursor.

<ul>
<li><tt>QSqlCursor::ReadOnly</tt> - the cursor can only SELECT records from the
database.
<li><tt>QSqlCursor::Insert</tt> - the cursor can INSERT records into the database.
<li><tt>QSqlCursor::Update</tt> - the cursor can UPDATE records in the database.
<li><tt>QSqlCursor::Delete</tt> - the cursor can DELETE records from the database.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QSqlCursor"></a>QSqlCursor::QSqlCursor ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & name = QString::null, bool autopopulate = TRUE, <a href="qsqldatabase.html">QSqlDatabase</a> * db = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a cursor on database <em>db</em> using table or view <em>name</em>.
<p> If <em>autopopulate</em> is TRUE (the default), the <em>name</em> of the
cursor must correspond to an existing table or view name in the
database so that field information can be automatically created.
If the table or view does not exist, the cursor will not be
functional.
<p> The cursor is created with an initial mode of QSqlCursor::Writable
(meaning that records can be inserted, updated or deleted using
the cursor). If the cursor does not have a unique primary index,
update and deletes cannot be performed.
<p> Note that <em>autopopulate</em> refers to populating the cursor with
meta-data, e.g. the names of the table's fields, not with
retrieving data. The <a href="#select">select</a>() function is used to populate the
cursor with data.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setName">setName</a>() and <a href="#setMode">setMode</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a name="QSqlCursor-2"></a>QSqlCursor::QSqlCursor ( const <a href="qsqlcursor.html">QSqlCursor</a> & other )
</h3>
Constructs a copy of <em>other</em>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QSqlCursor"></a>QSqlCursor::~QSqlCursor ()
</h3>
Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="append"></a>QSqlCursor::append ( const <a href="qsqlfieldinfo.html">QSqlFieldInfo</a> & fieldInfo )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Append a copy of field <em>fieldInfo</em> to the end of the cursor. Note
that all references to the cursor edit buffer become invalidated.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> <a name="calculateField"></a>QSqlCursor::calculateField ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & name )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
Protected virtual function which is called whenever a field needs
to be calculated. If calculated fields are being used, derived
classes must reimplement this function and return the appropriate
value for field <em>name</em>. The default implementation returns an
invalid <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setCalculated">setCalculated</a>().
<p>Examples: <a href="sql.html#x2259">sql/overview/subclass3/main.cpp</a> and <a href="sql.html#x2263">sql/overview/subclass4/main.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="canDelete"></a>QSqlCursor::canDelete () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the cursor will perform deletes; otherwise returns
FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setMode">setMode</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="canInsert"></a>QSqlCursor::canInsert () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the cursor will perform inserts; otherwise returns
FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setMode">setMode</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="canUpdate"></a>QSqlCursor::canUpdate () const

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>QSqlCursor::clear ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Removes all fields from the cursor. Note that all references to
the cursor edit buffer become invalidated.
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qsqlrecord.html#clear">QSqlRecord</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="del"></a>QSqlCursor::del ( bool invalidate = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Deletes a record from the database using the cursor's primary
index and the contents of the cursor edit buffer. Returns the
number of records which were deleted.
For error information, use <a href="qsqlquery.html#lastError">lastError</a>().
<p> Only records which meet the filter criteria specified by the
cursor's primary index are deleted. If the cursor does not contain
a primary index, no delete is performed and 0 is returned. If <em>invalidate</em> is TRUE (the default), the current cursor can no longer
be navigated. A new <a href="#select">select</a>() call must be made before you can move
to a valid record. For example:
<p>
<pre> QSqlCursor cur( "prices" );
<a name="x2207"></a> cur.<a href="#select">select</a>( "id=999" );
<a name="x2208"></a> if ( cur.<a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>() ) {
<a name="x2206"></a> cur.<a href="#primeDelete">primeDelete</a>();
<a name="x2205"></a> cur.<a href="#del">del</a>();
}
</pre>
<p> In the above example, a cursor is created on the 'prices' table
and positioned to the record to be deleted. First <a href="#primeDelete">primeDelete</a>() is
called to populate the edit buffer with the current cursor values,
e.g. with an id of 999, and then <a href="#del">del</a>() is called to actually
delete the record from the database. Remember: all edit operations
(<a href="#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="#update">update</a>() and delete()) operate on the contents of the
cursor edit buffer and not on the contents of the cursor itself.

</h3>
Returns the current internal edit buffer. If <em>copy</em> is TRUE (the
default is FALSE), the current cursor field values are first
copied into the edit buffer. The edit buffer is valid as long as
the cursor remains valid. The cursor retains ownership of the
returned pointer, so it must not be deleted or modified.

number of rows affected by the insert. For error information, use
<a href="qsqlquery.html#lastError">lastError</a>().
<p> If <em>invalidate</em> is TRUE (the default), the cursor will no longer
be positioned on a valid record and can no longer be navigated. A

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Selects all fields in the cursor matching the filter index <em>filter</em>. The data is returned in the order specified by the index
<em>sort</em>. The <em>filter</em> index works by constructing a WHERE clause
using the names of the fields from the <em>filter</em> and their values

<p> In this example the <a href="qsqlindex.html">QSqlIndex</a>, pk, is used for two different
purposes. When used as the filter (first) argument, the field
names it contains are used to construct the WHERE clause, each set
to the current cursor value, <tt>WHERE id=10</tt>, in this case. When
used as the sort (second) argument the field names it contains are
used for the ORDER BY clause, <tt>ORDER BY id</tt> in this example.

(or the field value will be an invalid <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>). Calculated
fields do not appear in generated SQL statements sent to the
database.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#calculateField">calculateField</a>() and <a href="qsqlrecord.html#setGenerated">QSqlRecord::setGenerated</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setFilter"></a>QSqlCursor::setFilter ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & filter )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the current filter to <em>filter</em>. Note that no new records are
selected. To select new records, use <a href="#select">select</a>(). The <em>filter</em> will
apply to any subsequent select() calls that do not explicitly
specify a filter.
<p> The filter is a SQL <tt>WHERE</tt> clause without the keyword 'WHERE',
e.g. <tt>name='Dave'</tt> which will be processed by the DBMS.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setGenerated"></a>QSqlCursor::setGenerated ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & name, bool generated )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the generated flag for the field <em>name</em> to <em>generated</em>. If
the field does not exist, nothing happens. Only fields that have
<em>generated</em> set to TRUE are included in the SQL that is
generated by <a href="#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="#update">update</a>() or <a href="#del">del</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="qsqlrecord.html#isGenerated">isGenerated</a>().
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qsqlrecord.html#setGenerated">QSqlRecord</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setGenerated-2"></a>QSqlCursor::setGenerated ( int i, bool generated )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Sets the generated flag for the field <em>i</em> to <em>generated</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qsqlrecord.html#isGenerated">isGenerated</a>().
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qsqlrecord.html#setGenerated-2">QSqlRecord</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setMode"></a>QSqlCursor::setMode ( int mode )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the cursor mode to <em>mode</em>. This value can be an OR'ed
combination of <a href="#Mode-enum">QSqlCursor::Mode</a> values. The default mode for a
cursor is <a href="#Mode-enum">QSqlCursor::Writable</a>.
<p> <pre>
QSqlCursor cur( "Employee" );
cur.<a href="#setMode">setMode</a>( QSqlCursor::<a href="#Mode-enum">Writable</a> ); // allow insert/update/delete
...
cur.<a href="#setMode">setMode</a>( QSqlCursor::<a href="#Mode-enum">Insert</a> | QSqlCursor::<a href="#Mode-enum">Update</a> ); // allow inserts and updates only
...
cur.<a href="#setMode">setMode</a>( QSqlCursor::<a href="#Mode-enum">ReadOnly</a> ); // no inserts/updates/deletes allowed
</pre>
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setName"></a>QSqlCursor::setName ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & name, bool autopopulate = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the name of the cursor to <em>name</em>. If <em>autopopulate</em> is TRUE
(the default), the <em>name</em> must correspond to a valid table or
view name in the database. Also, note that all references to the
cursor edit buffer become invalidated when fields are
auto-populated. See the QSqlCursor constructor documentation for
more information.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setPrimaryIndex"></a>QSqlCursor::setPrimaryIndex ( const <a href="qsqlindex.html">QSqlIndex</a> & idx )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the primary index associated with the cursor to the index <em>idx</em>. Note that this index must contain a field or set of fields
which identify a unique record within the underlying database
table or view so that <a href="#update">update</a>() and <a href="#del">del</a>() will execute as expected.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#update">update</a>() and <a href="#del">del</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setSort"></a>QSqlCursor::setSort ( const <a href="qsqlindex.html">QSqlIndex</a> & sort )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the current sort to <em>sort</em>. Note that no new records are
selected. To select new records, use <a href="#select">select</a>(). The <em>sort</em> will
apply to any subsequent select() calls that do not explicitly
specify a sort.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setTrimmed"></a>QSqlCursor::setTrimmed ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & name, bool trim )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets field <em>name</em>'s trimmed status to <em>trim</em>. If the field <em>name</em> does not exist, nothing happens.
<p> When a trimmed field of type string or cstring is read from the
database any trailing (right-most) spaces are removed.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isTrimmed">isTrimmed</a>() and <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qsqlindex.html">QSqlIndex</a> <a name="sort"></a>QSqlCursor::sort () const
</h3>
Returns the current sort, or an empty index if there is no current
sort.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="toString"></a>QSqlCursor::toString ( <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a> * rec, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & prefix, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & fieldSep, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & sep ) const<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
Returns a formatted string composed of all the fields in <em>rec</em>.
Each field is composed of the <em>prefix</em> (e.g. table or view name),
".", the field name, the <em>fieldSep</em> and the field value. If the
<em>prefix</em> is empty then each field will begin with the field name.
The fields are then joined together separated by <em>sep</em>. Fields
where <a href="qsqlrecord.html#isGenerated">isGenerated</a>() returns FALSE are not included. This function
is useful for generating SQL statements.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="toString-3"></a>QSqlCursor::toString ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & prefix, <a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a> * field, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & fieldSep ) const<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Returns a formatted string composed of the <em>prefix</em> (e.g. table
or view name), ".", the <em>field</em> name, the <em>fieldSep</em> and the
field value. If the <em>prefix</em> is empty then the string will begin
with the <em>field</em> name. This function is useful for generating SQL
statements.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="toString-4"></a>QSqlCursor::toString ( const <a href="qsqlindex.html">QSqlIndex</a> & i, <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a> * rec, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & prefix, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & fieldSep, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & sep ) const<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Returns a formatted string composed of all the fields in the index
<em>i</em>. Each field is composed of the <em>prefix</em> (e.g. table or view
name), ".", the field name, the <em>fieldSep</em> and the field value.
If the <em>prefix</em> is empty then each field will begin with the field
name. The field values are taken from <em>rec</em>. The fields are then
joined together separated by <em>sep</em>. Fields where <a href="qsqlrecord.html#isGenerated">isGenerated</a>()
returns FALSE are ignored. This function is useful for generating
SQL statements.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="update"></a>QSqlCursor::update ( bool invalidate = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Updates the database with the current contents of the edit buffer.
Returns the number of records which were updated.
For error information, use <a href="qsqlquery.html#lastError">lastError</a>().
<p> Only records which meet the filter criteria specified by the
cursor's primary index are updated. If the cursor does not contain
a primary index, no update is performed and 0 is returned.
<p> If <em>invalidate</em> is TRUE (the default), the current cursor can no
longer be navigated. A new <a href="#select">select</a>() call must be made before you
can move to a valid record. For example:
<p>
<pre> QSqlCursor cur( "prices" );
<a name="x2200"></a> cur.<a href="#select">select</a>( "id=202" );
if ( cur.<a href="qsqlquery.html#next">next</a>() ) {
<a name="x2199"></a> <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a> *buffer = cur.<a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>();
<a name="x2204"></a> double price = buffer-><a href="qsqlrecord.html#value">value</a>( "price" ).toDouble();
double newprice = price * 1.05;
<a name="x2203"></a> buffer-><a href="qsqlrecord.html#setValue">setValue</a>( "price", newprice );
<a name="x2201"></a> cur.<a href="#update">update</a>();
}
</pre>
<p> In the above example, a cursor is created on the 'prices' table
and is positioned on the record to be updated. Then a pointer to
the cursor's edit buffer is acquired using <a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>(). A new
value is calculated and placed into the edit buffer with the
<a href="qsqlrecord.html#setValue">setValue</a>() call. Finally, an <a href="#update">update</a>() call is made on the cursor
which uses the tables's primary index to update the record in the
database with the contents of the cursor's edit buffer. Remember:
all edit operations (<a href="#insert">insert</a>(), update() and delete()) operate on
the contents of the cursor edit buffer and not on the contents of
the cursor itself.
<p> Note that if the primary index does not uniquely distinguish
records the database may be changed into an inconsistent state.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setMode">setMode</a>() and <a href="qsqlquery.html#lastError">lastError</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="sql.html#x2201">sql/overview/update/main.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="update-2"></a>QSqlCursor::update ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & filter, bool invalidate = TRUE )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Updates the database with the current contents of the cursor edit
buffer using the specified <em>filter</em>. Returns the number of
records which were updated.
For error information, use <a href="qsqlquery.html#lastError">lastError</a>().
<p> Only records which meet the filter criteria are updated, otherwise
all records in the table are updated.
<p> If <em>invalidate</em> is TRUE (the default), the cursor can no longer
be navigated. A new <a href="#select">select</a>() call must be made before you can move
to a valid record.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>(), <a href="#setMode">setMode</a>(), and <a href="qsqlquery.html#lastError">lastError</a>().
