GdaField 3 LIBGDA-CLIENT Library GdaFieldAccess to individual fields in recordsets GdaField* gda_field_new (void); gchar* gda_fieldtype_2_string (gchar *bfr, gint length, GDA_ValueType type); GDA_ValueType gda_string_2_fieldtype (gchar *type); gchar* gda_stringify_value (gchar *bfr, gint length, GdaField *f); gint gda_field_actual_size (GdaField *f); GtkObject +----GdaField GdaField* gda_field_new (void); Returns : the pointer to the new field object. gchar* gda_fieldtype_2_string (gchar *bfr, gint length, GDA_ValueType type); bfr : bufferspace where the printed name of the type of the field is placed into. length : the size of the buffer type : Returns : a pointer to the buffer. GDA_ValueType gda_string_2_fieldtype (gchar *type); type : Returns :the GDA type identifier for the given string (returned by gda_fieldtype_2_string gchar* gda_stringify_value (gchar *bfr, gint length, GdaField *f); Converts the value stored on the given GdaField object into a human-readable string. You can either pass it an existing buffer (bfr) or pass it NULL as the first parameter, in which case it will return a newly allocated string containing the value. bfr : buffer where the string will be copied. length : f : a GdaField object. Returns : a pointer to bfr or to a newly allocated string, which should be g_free's when no longer needed. gint gda_field_actual_size (GdaField *f); Calculates the number of bytes the value fo the field needs. f : a pointer to the field. Returns : the number of bytes the value for the field needs or 0 if the field has a NULL value.
