Detailed Description#

Normally, you would use QSqlQuery instead of QSqlResult , since QSqlQuery provides a generic wrapper for database-specific implementations of QSqlResult .

If you are implementing your own SQL driver (by subclassing QSqlDriver ), you will need to provide your own QSqlResult subclass that implements all the pure virtual functions and other virtual functions that you need.

QSqlDriver

class BindingSyntax#

This enum type specifies the different syntaxes for specifying placeholders in prepared queries.

Constant

Description

QSqlResult.PositionalBinding

Use the ODBC-style positional syntax, with “?” as placeholders.

QSqlResult.NamedBinding

Use the Oracle-style syntax with named placeholders (e.g., “:id”)

abstract data(i)#
Parameters:

i – int

Return type:

object

Returns the data for field index in the current row as a QVariant. This function is only called if the result is in an active state and is positioned on a valid record and index is non-negative. Derived classes must reimplement this function and return the value of field index, or QVariant() if it cannot be determined.

bool

Executes the query, returning true if successful; otherwise returns false.

See also

prepare()

execBatch([arrayBind=false])#
Parameters:

arrayBind – bool

Return type:

bool

exec_()#
Return type:

bool

executedQuery()#
Return type:

str

Returns the query that was actually executed. This may differ from the query that was passed, for example if bound values were used with a prepared query and the underlying database doesn’t support prepared queries.

See also

exec() setQuery()

abstract fetch(i)#
Parameters:

i – int

Return type:

bool

Positions the result to an arbitrary (zero-based) row index.

This function is only called if the result is in an active state. Derived classes must reimplement this function and position the result to the row index, and call setAt() with an appropriate value. Return true to indicate success, or false to signify failure.

abstract fetchFirst()#
Return type:

bool

Positions the result to the first record (row 0) in the result.

This function is only called if the result is in an active state. Derived classes must reimplement this function and position the result to the first record, and call setAt() with an appropriate value. Return true to indicate success, or false to signify failure.

See also

fetch() fetchLast()

abstract fetchLast()#
Return type:

bool

Positions the result to the last record (last row) in the result.

This function is only called if the result is in an active state. Derived classes must reimplement this function and position the result to the last record, and call setAt() with an appropriate value. Return true to indicate success, or false to signify failure.

fetchNext()#
Return type:

bool

Positions the result to the next available record (row) in the result.

This function is only called if the result is in an active state. The default implementation calls fetch() with the next index. Derived classes can reimplement this function and position the result to the next record in some other way, and call setAt() with an appropriate value. Return true to indicate success, or false to signify failure.

fetchPrevious()#
Return type:

bool

Positions the result to the previous record (row) in the result.

This function is only called if the result is in an active state. The default implementation calls fetch() with the previous index. Derived classes can reimplement this function and position the result to the next record in some other way, and call setAt() with an appropriate value. Return true to indicate success, or false to signify failure.

handle()#
Return type:

object

Warning

This section contains snippets that were automatically translated from C++ to Python and may contain errors.

Returns the low-level database handle for this result set wrapped in a QVariant or an invalid QVariant if there is no handle.

Warning

Use this with uttermost care and only if you know what you’re doing.

Warning

The handle returned here can become a stale pointer if the result is modified (for example, if you clear it).

Warning

The handle can be NULL if the result was not executed yet.

Warning

PostgreSQL: in forward-only mode, the handle of QSqlResult can change after calling fetch() , fetchFirst() , fetchLast() , fetchNext() , fetchPrevious() , nextResult().

The handle returned here is database-dependent, you should query the type name of the variant before accessing it.

This example retrieves the handle for a sqlite result:

db = QSqlDatabase.database("sales")
query = QSqlQuery("SELECT NAME, DOB FROM EMPLOYEES", db)
v = query.result().handle()
if v.isValid() and qstrcmp(v.typeName(), "sqlite3_stmt*") == 0:
    # v.data() returns a pointer to the handle
    sqlite3_stmt handle = sqlite3_stmt(v.data())
    if handle:
        # ...

This snippet returns the handle for PostgreSQL or MySQL:

if qstrcmp(v.typeName(), "PGresult*") == 0:
    handle = PGresult(v.data())
    if handle:
        # ...


if qstrcmp(v.typeName(), "MYSQL_STMT*") == 0:
    MYSQL_STMT handle = MYSQL_STMT(v.data())
    if handle:
        # ...

handle()

hasOutValues()#
Return type:

bool

Returns true if at least one of the query’s bound values is a QSql::Out or a InOut ; otherwise returns false.

See also

bindValueType()

isActive()#
Return type:

bool

Returns true if the result has records to be retrieved; otherwise returns false.

isForwardOnly()#
Return type:

bool

Returns true if you can only scroll forward through the result set; otherwise returns false.

See also

setForwardOnly()

abstract isNull(i)#
Parameters:

i – int

Return type:

bool

Returns true if the field at position index in the current row is null; otherwise returns false.

isPositionalBindingEnabled()#
Return type:

bool

isSelect()#
Return type:

bool

Returns true if the current result is from a SELECT statement; otherwise returns false.

See also

setSelect()

isValid()#
Return type:

bool

Returns true if the result is positioned on a valid record (that is, the result is not positioned before the first or after the last record); otherwise returns false.

See also

at()

lastError()#
Return type:

QSqlError

Returns the last error associated with the result.

See also

setLastError()

lastInsertId()#
Return type:

object

Returns the object ID of the most recent inserted row if the database supports it. An invalid QVariant will be returned if the query did not insert any value or if the database does not report the id back. If more than one row was touched by the insert, the behavior is undefined.

Note that for Oracle databases the row’s ROWID will be returned, while for MySQL databases the row’s auto-increment field will be returned.

hasFeature()

lastQuery()#
Return type:

str

Returns the current SQL query text, or an empty string if there isn’t one.

See also

setQuery()

nextResult()#
Return type:

bool

abstract numRowsAffected()#
Return type:

int

Returns the number of rows affected by the last query executed, or -1 if it cannot be determined or if the query is a SELECT statement.

See also

size()

numericalPrecisionPolicy()#
Return type:

NumericalPrecisionPolicy

prepare(query)#
Parameters:

query – str

Return type:

bool

Prepares the given query for execution; the query will normally use placeholders so that it can be executed repeatedly. Returns true if the query is prepared successfully; otherwise returns false.

See also

exec()

record()#
Return type:

QSqlRecord

Returns the current record if the query is active; otherwise returns an empty QSqlRecord .

The default implementation always returns an empty QSqlRecord .

See also

isActive()

abstract reset(sqlquery)#
Parameters:

sqlquery – str

Return type:

bool

Sets the result to use the SQL statement query for subsequent data retrieval.

Derived classes must reimplement this function and apply the query to the database. This function is only called after the result is set to an inactive state and is positioned before the first record of the new result. Derived classes should return true if the query was successful and ready to be used, or false otherwise.

See also

setQuery()

resetBindCount()#

Resets the number of bind parameters.

savePrepare(sqlquery)#
Parameters:

sqlquery – str

Return type:

bool

Prepares the given query, using the underlying database functionality where possible. Returns true if the query is prepared successfully; otherwise returns false.

Note: This method should have been called “safePrepare()”.

See also

prepare()

setActive(a)#
Parameters:

a – bool

This function is provided for derived classes to set the internal active state to active.

See also

isActive()

setAt(at)#
Parameters:

at – int

This function is provided for derived classes to set the internal (zero-based) row position to index.

See also

at()

setForwardOnly(forward)#
Parameters:

forward – bool

Sets forward only mode to forward. If forward is true, only fetchNext() is allowed for navigating the results. Forward only mode needs much less memory since results do not have to be cached. By default, this feature is disabled.

Setting forward only to false is a suggestion to the database engine, which has the final say on whether a result set is forward only or scrollable. isForwardOnly() will always return the correct status of the result set.

Note

Calling setForwardOnly after execution of the query will result in unexpected results at best, and crashes at worst.

Note

To make sure the forward-only query completed successfully, the application should check lastError() for an error not only after executing the query, but also after navigating the query results.

Warning

PostgreSQL: While navigating the query results in forward-only mode, do not execute any other SQL command on the same database connection. This will cause the query results to be lost.

setLastError(e)#
Parameters:

eQSqlError

This function is provided for derived classes to set the last error to error.

See also

lastError()

setNumericalPrecisionPolicy(policy)#
Parameters:

policyNumericalPrecisionPolicy

setPositionalBindingEnabled(enable)#
Parameters:

enable – bool

setQuery(query)#
Parameters:

query – str

Sets the current query for the result to query. You must call reset() to execute the query on the database.

See also

reset() lastQuery()

setSelect(s)#
Parameters:

s – bool

This function is provided for derived classes to indicate whether or not the current statement is a SQL SELECT statement. The select parameter should be true if the statement is a SELECT statement; otherwise it should be false.

See also

isSelect()

abstract size()#
Return type:

int

Returns the size of the SELECT result, or -1 if it cannot be determined or if the query is not a SELECT statement.
