CCommsDbTableView Class Reference

class CCommsDbTableView : public CBase

The view on a specific table in the database.

Includes the necessary behaviour for navigating through the records in the view and reading and writing to columns within a record.

Uses a CCommsDatabase and has an RDbView to read from and write to database. Created via CCommsDatabase::OpenTableLC() (which opens a view of all the records in the table) or one of the OpenViewLC...() functions (which open a specific view of the table):

CCommsDatabase::OpenTableLC()

CCommsDatabase::OpenViewMatchingUintLC()

CCommsDatabase::OpenViewMatchingBoolLC()

CCommsDatabase::OpenViewMatchingTextLC()

CCommsDatabase::OpenViewLC()

Note that the above five functions have been withdrawn in CCommsDatabase and are now implemented in CCommsDatabaseBase .

TBool aReadOnly = EFalse Defines whether or not the record is to be stored as read-only. Read-only storage prevents the record from being altered at a later time.

ReadBoolL(const TDesC &, TBool &)

IMPORT_C void ReadBoolL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
TBool & aValue
)

Reads a boolean value located in a specific column within the current record and copies it into a specified value. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table has a template record, then the value located in the corresponding column in that template record is read and copied into aValue.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table does not have a template record, then the function leaves.

This read operation must not occur if any of the operations involved in inserting or updating a record are still outstanding, otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 10 panic. For example, the panic is raised if this function is called between calls to UpdateRecord() and PutRecordChanges() .

This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

leave
KErrUnknown if the specified column is null; KErrNotFound if the specified column does not exist in the table.
capability
Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of the column in the current record whose (boolean) value is to be read.
TBool & aValue A reference to a TBool passed by the caller.

ReadColumnLengthL(const TDesC &, TInt &)

IMPORT_C void ReadColumnLengthL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
TInt & aLength
)

Gets the length of a specific column within the current record and copies it into a reference to an integer. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

If the length of the column is zero and the table has a template record, then the length of the corresponding column in that template record is copied into aValue.

Null columns return 0; integers and bools return 1; strings return their length in characters.

This read operation must not occur if any of the operations involved in inserting or updating a record are still outstanding, otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 10 panic. For example, the panic is raised if this function is called between calls to UpdateRecord() and PutRecordChanges() .

This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

leave
KErrNotFound Specified column does not exist in the table.
capability
Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of a column in the current record.
TInt & aLength A reference to an integer passed by the caller. On successful return from this function, contains a copy of the length of the column.

ReadColumnMaxLengthL(const TDesC &, TInt &)

IMPORT_C void ReadColumnMaxLengthL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
TInt & aLength
)

Reads the MAXIMUM length of the contents of aColumn from the current record into aLength

capability
Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of a column in the current record.
TInt & aLength A reference to an integer passed by the caller. On successful return from this function, contains a copy of the length of the column.

ReadLongTextLC(const TDesC &)

IMPORT_C HBufC * ReadLongTextLC ( const TDesC & aColumn )

Reads the long text located in a specific column within the current record and copies this text to a heap descriptor. The heap descriptor is allocated and its pointer returned by this function. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table has a template record, then the long text located in the corresponding column in that template record is read and copied.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table does not have a template record, then the length of the returned heap descriptor is zero and the descriptor contains no text.

While the text in columns retrieved by the ReadTextL() functions is limited in length, there is no restriction on the length of long text.

The HBufC* returned is left on the cleanup stack. The caller is responsible for calling CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy() .

This read operation must not occur if any of the operations involved in inserting or updating a record are still outstanding, otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 10 panic. For example, the panic is raised if this function is called between calls to UpdateRecord() and PutRecordChanges() .

This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

leave
KErrNotFound if the specified column does not exist in the table; KErrNoMemory if out of memory.
capability
Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of a column in the current record.

ReadTextL(const TDesC &, TDes8 &)

IMPORT_C void ReadTextL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
TDes8 & aValue
)

Reads narrow (ASCII) text located in a specific column within the current record and copies it into an 8 bit modifiable descriptor. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table has a template record, then the text located in the corresponding column in that template record is read and copied into aValue.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table does not have a template record, then the length of the descriptor aValue is set to zero and the descriptor contains no text.

The maximum length of text expected by this function is the value of the constant KCommsDbSvrMaxColumnNameLength. The maximum length of aValue supplied by the caller can, therefore, be the same.

This read operation must not occur if any of the operations involved in inserting or updating a record are still outstanding, otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 10 panic. For example, the panic is raised if this function is called between calls to UpdateRecord() and PutRecordChanges() .

This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

Note:

If the column to be read is encrypted then the function decrypts it.

leave
KErrNotFound Specified column does not exist in the table.
capability
Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of the column in the current record whose (narrow text) value is to be read.
TDes8 & aValue A reference to an 8 bit descriptor passed by the caller.

ReadTextL(const TDesC &, TDes16 &)

IMPORT_C void ReadTextL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
TDes16 & aValue
)

Reads wide (Unicode) text located in a specific column within the current record and copies it into a 16 bit modifiable descriptor. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table has a template record, then the text located in the corresponding column in that template record is read and copied into aValue.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table does not have a template record, then the length of the descriptor aValue is set to zero and the descriptor contains no text.

The maximum length of text expected by this function is the value of the constant KCommsDbSvrMaxColumnNameLength. The maximum length of aValue supplied by the caller can, therefore, be the same.

This read operation must not occur if any of the operations involved in inserting or updating a record are still outstanding, otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 10 panic. For example, the panic is raised if this function is called between calls to UpdateRecord() and PutRecordChanges() .

This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

Note:

If the column to be read is encrypted then the function decrypts it.

Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of the column in the current record whose (wide text) value is to be read.
TDes16 & aValue A reference to a 16 bit descriptor passed by the caller.

ReadTypeAttribL(const TDesC &, TDbColType &, TUint32 &)

IMPORT_C void ReadTypeAttribL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
TDbColType & aColType,
TUint32 & aAttrib
)

Gets the type and the attributes of a specific column within the current record and puts them into a TDbColType object and a reference to an unsigned integer respectively. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

The column attributes are one or more of the values TDbCol::ENotNull and TDbCol::EAutoIncrement .

From v9.1 COMMDB_ID doesn't exist. Bacause of BC it is neccessary to return expected values

This function must not be called if any of the operations involved in inserting or updating a record are still outstanding, otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 10 panic. For example, the panic is raised if this function is called between calls to UpdateRecord() and PutRecordChanges() .

This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

leave
KErrNotFound Specified column does not exist in the table
capability
Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of the column in the current record whose type and attributes are to be fetched.
TDbColType & aColType A reference to a TDbColType object passed by the caller. On successful return from this function, contains a copy of the column type.
TUint32 & aAttrib A reference to an unsigned integer passed by the caller. On successful return from this function, contains a copy of the column attributes.

ReadUintL(const TDesC &, TUint32 &)

IMPORT_C void ReadUintL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
TUint32 & aValue
)

Reads an unsigned integer value located in a specific column within the current record and copies it into a reference to an unsigned integer. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table has a template record, then the unsigned integer value located in the corresponding column in that template record is read and copied into aValue.

If the column in the current record has a NULL value and the table does not have a template record, then the function leaves.

This read operation must not occur if any of the operations involved in inserting or updating a record are still outstanding, otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 10 panic. For example, the panic is raised if this function is called between calls to UpdateRecord() and PutRecordChanges() .

This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

leave
KErrUnknown if the specified column is null; KErrNotFound if the specified column does not exist in the table.
capability
Dependent on table, see the guide page referenced below.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of the column in the current record whose (unsigned integer) value is to be read.
TUint32 & aValue A reference to an unsigned integer passed by the caller.

SetNullL(const TDesC &)

IMPORT_C void SetNullL ( const TDesC & aColumn )

Sets a specific column within the current record to NULL. For text type columns, this is the same as setting the column to an empty string. The column is identified by the name supplied in the descriptor aColumn.

An earlier call to either UpdateRecord() or InsertRecord() must have been made before calling this function otherwise the function raises a CommsDbServer 12 panic. This panic is also raised if this function is called after the view has been closed.

PutRecordChanges() must be called to store the changes.

Parameters

const TDesC & aColumn A reference to a descriptor containing the name of a column in the current record.

TableWithTemplateRecord()

TBool TableWithTemplateRecord ( ) const [private]

Is the table one with template record - all except global settings, IAPs and Proxies.

UpdateRecord()

IMPORT_C TInt UpdateRecord ( )

Modify the current record of this view. `PutRecordChanges()` is called to complete the transaction

Prepares to update the current record PutRecordChanges() must be called before editing any existing column.

Once all changes to the new record are complete, a call must be made to either PutRecordChanges() or CancelRecordChanges() as appropriate.

This function raises a CommsDbServer 2 panic if a previous call to InsertRecord() or UpdateRecord() has already been made.

This function must be called before any attempt is made before editing any existing column otherwise subsequent write operations raise a CommsDbServer 12 panic.

Once this function has completed successfully, no attempt can be made to read from a column until either PutRecordChanges() or CancelRecordChanges() has been called to complete the record insertion operation, otherwise the read operations raise a CommsDbServer 10 panic.

WriteBoolL(const TDesC &, const TBool &)

IMPORT_C void WriteBoolL ( const TDesC & aColumn,
const TBool & aValue
)
