VQueryResult Class
NEW in v4.0
Description
Historically, Valentina API did have:
- SqlSelect() to execute SQL commands that return VCursor back. For example, SELECT or “SHOW …” commands.
- SqlExecute() to execute all other commands of Valentina SQL. It returns ULONG integer - the number of the affected records.
With time we have come to need, for example, in Valentina Studio's SQL Editor, to have a single function, which is able to execute any Valentina SQL commands.
Answer was in a new function SqlQuery() on each level:
- database scope : VDatabase.SqlQuery()
- connection scope: VConnection.SqlQuery()
- global scope : Valentina.SqlQuery()
This new function should be able to return different results: cursor or ULONG.
We resolve this with the help of small class VQueryResult
When you have a VQueryResult, usually you verify the type of the result, and then use one of the VQueryResult methods to get the specific result.
