   2
   3 Each wxRecordSet represents an ODBC database query. You can make multiple queries
   4 at a time by using multiple wxRecordSets with a wxDatabase or you can make
   5 your queries in sequential order using the same wxRecordSet.

   7 Note: this class is considered obsolete, replaced by the Remstar
   8 wxDB/wxDbTable classes

  25
  26 \func{}{wxRecordSet}{\param{wxDatabase *}{db}, \param{int}{ type = wxOPEN\_TYPE\_DYNASET},
  27  \param{int}{ opt = wxOPTION\_DEFAULT}}
  28
  29 Constructor. {\it db} is a pointer to the wxDatabase instance you wish to use the
  30 wxRecordSet with. Currently there are two possible values of {\it type}:
  31
  32 \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
  33 \item wxOPEN\_TYPE\_DYNASET: Loads only one record at a time into memory. The other
  34 data of the result set will be loaded dynamically when
  35 moving the cursor. This is the default type.
  36 \item wxOPEN\_TYPE\_SNAPSHOT: Loads all records of a result set at once. This will
  37 need much more memory, but will result in
  38 faster access to the ODBC data.
  39 \end{itemize}
  40
  41 The {\it option} parameter is not used yet.
  42
  43 The constructor appends the wxRecordSet object to the parent database's list of
  44 wxRecordSet objects, for later destruction when the wxDatabase is destroyed.
  45
  46 \membersection{wxRecordSet::\destruct{wxRecordSet}}
  47
  48 \func{}{\destruct{wxRecordSet}}{\void}
  49

  51 It also unlinks the wxRecordSet object from the parent database's list of
  52 wxRecordSet objects.

  65
  66 \membersection{wxRecordSet::BindVar}
  67
  68 \func{void *}{BindVar}{\param{int}{ col}, \param{void *}{buf}, \param{long}{ size}}
  69
  70 Binds a user-defined variable to the column col. Whenever the current field's
  71 data changes, it will be copied into buf (maximum {\it size} bytes).
  72
  73 \func{void *}{BindVar}{\param{const wxString\& }{col}, \param{void *}{buf}, \param{long}{ size}}
  74
  75 The same as above, but uses the column name as the identifier.

 139 \func{bool}{ExecuteSQL}{\param{const wxString\& }{sql}}
 140
 141 Directly executes a SQL statement. The data will be presented as a normal
 142 result set. Note that the recordset must have been created as a snapshot, not

 179
 180 Returns the columns of the table with the specified name. If no name is
 181 given the class member {\it tablename} will be used. If both names are NULL
 182 nothing will happen. The data will be presented as a normal result set, organized
 183 as follows:
 184
 185 \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
 186 \twocolitem{0 (VARCHAR)}{TABLE\_QUALIFIER}

 271 Copies the current data of the column at position {\it col} into the buffer
 272 \rtfsp{\it dataPtr}. To be sure to get the right type of data, the user has to pass the
 273 correct data type. The function returns false if {\it col} does not
 274 exist or the wrong data type was given.
 275
 276 \func{bool}{GetFieldData}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{int}{ dataType}, \param{void *}{dataPtr}}
 277
 278 The same as above, but uses the column name as the identifier.

 286
 287 Returns the current data pointer of the column at position {\it col}.
 288 To be sure to get the right type of data, the user has to pass the
 289 data type. Returns NULL if {\it col} does not exist or if {\it dataType} is
 290 incorrect.
 291
 292 \func{void *}{GetFieldDataPtr}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{int}{ dataType}}
 293
 294 The same as above, but uses the column name as the identifier.

 310 Returns a list of foreign keys in the specified table (columns in the
 311 specified table that refer to primary keys in other tables), or
 312 a list of foreign keys in other tables that refer to the primary key in
 313 the specified table.
 314
 315 If {\it ptable} contains a table name, this function returns a result
 316 set containing the primary key of the specified table.
 317
 318 If {\it ftable} contains a table name, this functions returns a result set
 319 of containing all of the foreign keys in the specified table and the
 320 primary keys (in other tables) to which they refer.
 321
 322 If both {\it ptable} and {\it ftable} contain table names, this
 323 function returns the foreign keys in the table specified in {\it
 324 ftable} that refer to the primary key of the table specified in {\it
 325 ptable}. This should be one key at most.
 326
 327 GetForeignKeys returns results as a standard result set. If the foreign
 328 keys associated with a primary key are requested, the result set is
 329 ordered by FKTABLE\_QUALIFIER, FKTABLE\_OWNER, FKTABLE\_NAME, and KEY\_SEQ.
 330 If the primary keys associated with a foreign key are requested, the
 331 result set is ordered by PKTABLE\_QUALIFIER, PKTABLE\_OWNER, PKTABLE\_NAME,
 332 and KEY\_SEQ. The following table lists the columns in the result set.
