class CPLODBCDriverInstaller
  #include <cpl_odbc.h>

  A class providing functions to install or remove ODBC driver.

  Public Functions

  CPLODBCDriverInstaller()
  int InstallDriver(const char *pszDriver, const char *pszPathIn, WORD fRequest = ODBC_INSTALL_COMPLETE)

    Installs ODBC driver or updates definition of already installed driver.

    Interanally, it calls ODBC’s SQLInstallDriverEx function.

    Parameters

      - pszDriver – - The driver definition as a list of keyword-value pairs describing the driver (See ODBC API Reference).

      - pszPathIn – - Full path of the target directory of the installation, or a null pointer (for unixODBC, NULL is passed).

      - fRequest – - The fRequest argument must contain one of the following values: ODBC_INSTALL_COMPLETE - (default) complete the installation request ODBC_INSTALL_INQUIRY - inquire about where a driver can be installed

    Returns

      TRUE indicates success, FALSE if it fails.

  int RemoveDriver(const char *pszDriverName, int fRemoveDSN = FALSE)

    Removes or changes information about the driver from the Odbcinst.ini entry in the system information.

    Parameters

      - pszDriverName – - The name of the driver as registered in the Odbcinst.ini key of the system information.

      - fRemoveDSN – - TRUE: Remove DSNs associated with the driver specified in lpszDriver. FALSE: Do not remove DSNs associated with the driver specified in lpszDriver.

    Returns

      The function returns TRUE if it is successful, FALSE if it fails. If no entry exists in the system information when this function is called, the function returns FALSE. In order to obtain usage count value, call GetUsageCount().

  inline int GetUsageCount() const

    The usage count of the driver after this function has been called.

  inline const char *GetPathOut() const

    Path of the target directory where the driver should be installed.

    For details, see ODBC API Reference and lpszPathOut parameter of SQLInstallDriverEx

  inline const char *GetLastError() const

    If InstallDriver returns FALSE, then GetLastError then error message can be obtained by calling this function.

    Internally, it calls ODBC’s SQLInstallerError function.

  inline DWORD GetLastErrorCode() const

    If InstallDriver returns FALSE, then GetLastErrorCode then error code can be obtained by calling this function.

    Internally, it calls ODBC’s SQLInstallerError function. See ODBC API Reference for possible error flags.

class CPLODBCStatement
  #include <cpl_odbc.h>

  Abstraction for statement, and resultset.

  Includes methods for executing an SQL statement, and for accessing the resultset from that statement. Also provides for executing other ODBC requests that produce results sets such as SQLColumns() and SQLTables() requests.

  Public Types

  enum Flag

    Flags which control ODBC statement behavior.

    Values:

    enumerator RetrieveNumericColumnsAsDouble

      Numeric column values should be retrieved as doubles, using either the SQL_C_DOUBLE or SQL_C_FLOAT types.

      By default numeric column values are retrieved as characters. Retrieving as character is the safest behavior, but can risk loss of precision.

      If set, GetColDataAsDouble should be used for numeric columns instead of GetColData.

      Warning: this flag can expose issues in particular ODBC drivers on different platforms. Use with caution.

  Public Functions

  explicit CPLODBCStatement(CPLODBCSession*, int flags = 0)

    Constructor.

    The optional flags argument can be used to specify flags which control the behavior of the statement.

  ~CPLODBCStatement()

    Destructor.

  inline HSTMT GetStatement()

    Return statement handle.

  inline int Flags() const

    Returns statement flags.

  void Clear()

    Clear internal command text and result set definitions.

  void AppendEscaped(const char*)

    Append text to internal command.

    The passed text is appended to the internal SQL command text after escaping any special characters so it can be used as a character string in an SQL statement.

    Parameters

      pszText – text to append.

  void Append(const char*)

    Append text to internal command.

    The passed text is appended to the internal SQL command text.

    Parameters

      pszText – text to append.

  void Append(int)

    Append to internal command.

    The passed value is formatted and appended to the internal SQL command text.

    Parameters

      nValue – value to append to the command.

  void Append(double)

    Append to internal command.

    The passed value is formatted and appended to the internal SQL command text.

    Parameters

      dfValue – value to append to the command.

  int Appendf(const char*, ...)

    Append to internal command.

    The passed format is used to format other arguments and the result is appended to the internal command text. Long results may not be formatted properly, and should be appended with the direct Append() methods.

    Parameters

      pszFormat – printf() style format string.

    Returns

      FALSE if formatting fails due to result being too large.

  inline const char *GetCommand()

    Return statement string.

  int ExecuteSQL(const char* = nullptr)

    Execute an SQL statement.

    This method will execute the passed (or stored) SQL statement, and initialize information about the resultset if there is one. If a NULL statement is passed, the internal stored statement that has been previously set via Append() or Appendf() calls will be used.

    Parameters

      pszStatement – the SQL statement to execute, or NULL if the internally saved one should be used.

    Returns

      TRUE on success or FALSE if there is an error. Error details can be fetched with OGRODBCSession::GetLastError().

  int Fetch(int nOrientation = SQL_FETCH_NEXT, int nOffset = 0)

    Fetch a new record.

    Requests the next row in the current resultset using the SQLFetchScroll() call. Note that many ODBC drivers only support the default forward fetching one record at a time. Only SQL_FETCH_NEXT (the default) should be considered reliable on all drivers.

    Currently it isn’t clear how to determine whether an error or a normal out of data condition has occurred if Fetch() fails.

    Parameters

      - nOrientation – One of SQL_FETCH_NEXT, SQL_FETCH_LAST, SQL_FETCH_PRIOR, SQL_FETCH_ABSOLUTE, or SQL_FETCH_RELATIVE (default is SQL_FETCH_NEXT).

    Fetch column definitions for a table.

    The SQLColumn() method is used to fetch the definitions for the columns of a table (or other queryable object such as a view). The column definitions are digested and used to populate the CPLODBCStatement column definitions essentially as if a “SELECT * FROM tablename” had been done; however, no resultset will be available.

    Parameters

      - pszTable – the name of the table to query information on. This should not be empty.

      - pszCatalog – the catalog to find the table in, use NULL (the default) if no catalog is available.

      TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

  int GetPrimaryKeys(const char *pszTable, const char *pszCatalog = nullptr, const char *pszSchema = nullptr)

    Fetch primary keys for a table.

    The SQLPrimaryKeys() function is used to fetch a list of fields forming the primary key. The result is returned as a result set matching the SQLPrimaryKeys() function result set. The 4th column in the result set is the column name of the key, and if the result set contains only one record then that single field will be the complete primary key.

    Parameters

      - pszTable – the name of the table to query information on. This should not be empty.

      - pszCatalog – the catalog to find the table in, use NULL (the default) if no catalog is available.

      - pszSchema – the schema to find the table in, use NULL (the default) if no schema is available.

    Returns

      TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

  int GetTables(const char *pszCatalog = nullptr, const char *pszSchema = nullptr)

    Fetch tables in database.

    The SQLTables() function is used to fetch a list tables in the database. The result is returned as a result set matching the SQLTables() function result set. The 3rd column in the result set is the table name. Only tables of type “TABLE” are returned.

    Parameters

      - pszCatalog – the catalog to find the table in, use NULL (the default) if no catalog is available.

      - pszSchema – the schema to find the table in, use NULL (the default) if no schema is available.

    Returns

      TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

  void DumpResult(FILE *fp, int bShowSchema = FALSE)

    Dump resultset to file.

    The contents of the current resultset are dumped in a simply formatted form to the provided file. If requested, the schema definition will be written first.

    Parameters

  inline virtual void *GetNativeFileDescriptor()

    Returns the “native” file descriptor for the virtual handle.

    This will only return a non-NULL value for “real” files handled by the operating system (to be opposed to GDAL virtual file systems).

    On POSIX systems, this will be a integer value (“fd”) cast as a void*. On Windows systems, this will be the HANDLE.

    Returns

      the native file descriptor, or NULL.

  inline virtual VSIRangeStatus GetRangeStatus(vsi_l_offset nOffset, vsi_l_offset nLength)

    Return if a given file range contains data or holes filled with zeroes.

    This uses the filesystem capabilities of querying which regions of a sparse file are allocated or not. This is currently only implemented for Linux (and no other Unix derivatives) and Windows.

    Note: A return of VSI_RANGE_STATUS_DATA doesn’t exclude that the extent is filled with zeroes! It must be interpreted as “may

    contain non-zero data”.

    Since

      GDAL 2.2

    Parameters

      - nOffset – offset of the start of the extent.

      - nLength – extent length.
