+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Closes all cached connections that have been made through use of the
+\helpref{wxDbGetConnection}{wxdbfunctions} function.
+
+NOTE: These connections are closed regardless of whether they are in use
+or not. This function should only be called after the program has
+finished using the connections and all wxDbTable instances that use any of
+the connections have been closed.
+
+This function performs a \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans}
+on the connection before closing it to commit any changes that are still
+pending, as well as to avoid any function sequence errors upon closing
+each connection.
+
+
+\func{int }{wxDbConnectionsInUse}{\void}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Returns a count of how many database connections are currently free ( not
+being used) that have been cached through use of the \helpref{wxDbGetConnection}{wxdbfunctions}
+function.
+
+
+\func{bool}{wxDbFreeConnection}{\param{wxDb *}{pDb}}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Searches the list of cached database connections connection for one matching
+the passed in wxDb instance. If found, that cached connection is freed.
+
+Freeing a connection means that it is marked as available (free) in the
+cache of connections, so that a call to \helpref{wxDbGetConnection}{wxdbfunctions}
+is able to return a pointer to the wxDb instance for use. Freeing a
+connection does NOT close the connection, it only makes the connection
+available again.
+
+
+\func{wxDb *}{wxDbGetConnection}{\param{wxDbConnectInf *}{pDbConfig},
+\param{bool }{FwdOnlyCursors=(bool)wxODBC\_FWD\_ONLY\_CURSORS}}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function is used to request a "new" wxDb instance for use by the program.
+The wxDb instance returned is also opened (see \helpref{wxDb::Open}{wxdbopen}).
+
+This function (along with wxDbFreeConnection() and wxDbCloseConnection())
+maintain a cached of wxDb instances for user/re-use by a program. When a
+program needs a wxDb instance, it may call this function to obtain a wxDb
+instance. If there is a wxDb instance in the cache that is currently unused
+that matches the connection requirements specified in {\it'pDbConfig'} then
+that cached connection is marked as no longer being free, and a pointer to
+the wxDb instance is returned.
+
+If there are no connections available in the cache that meet the requirements
+given in {\it'pDbConfig'}, then a new wxDb instance is created to connect
+to the datasource specified in {\it'pDbConfig'} using the userID and password
+given in {\it'pDbConfig'}.
+
+NOTE: The caching routine also uses the \helpref{wxDb::Open}{wxdbopen}
+connection datatype copying code. If the call to wxDbGetConnection()
+requests a connection to a datasource, and there is not one available in the
+cache, a new connection is created. But when the connection is opened,
+instead of polling the datasource over again for its datatypes, if a
+connection to the same datasource (using the same userID/password) has already
+been done previously, the new connection skips querying the datasource for
+its datatypes, and uses the same datatypes determined previously by the
+other connection(s) for that same datasource. This cuts down greatly on
+network traffic, database load, and connection creation time.
+
+When the program is done using a connection created through a call to
+wxDbGetConnection(), the program should call wxDbFreeConnection() to release
+the wxDb instance back to the cache. DO NOT DELETE THE wxDb INSTANCE!
+Deleting the wxDb instance returned can cause a crash/memory corruption
+later in the program when the cache is cleaned up.
+
+When exiting the program, call wxDbCloseConnections() to close all the
+cached connections created by calls to wxDbGetConnection().
+
+
+\func{const wxChar *}{wxDbLogExtendedErrorMsg}{\param{const wxChar *}{userText}, \param{wxDb *}{pDb}, \param{wxChar *}{ErrFile}, \param{int }{ErrLine}}
+
+Writes a message to the wxLog window (stdout usually) when an internal
+error situation occurs. This function only works in DEBUG builds
+
+
+\func{bool}{wxDbSqlLog}{\param{wxDbSqlLogState }{state}, \param{const wxString &}{filename = SQL\_LOG\_FILENAME}}

+At the end of your program, when you have finished all of your database work,
+you must close the ODBC connection to the datasource. There are actually

+
+Any wxDbTable instances which use this connection must be deleted before

- // Commit any open transactions on the data source
+ // Commit any open transactions on the datasource
sampleDB.CommitTrans();
- // Delete any remaining wxTable objects allocated with new

+\membersection{wxDb::CommitTrans}\label{wxdbcommittrans}
+
+\func{bool}{CommitTrans}{\void}
+
+Permanently "commits" changes (insertions/deletions/updates) to the database.
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+Returns TRUE if the commit was successful, or FALSE if the commit failed.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Transactions begin implicitly as soon as you make a change to the database
+with an insert/update/delete, or any other direct SQL command that performs
+one of these operations against the datasource.
+At any time thereafter, to save the changes to disk permanently, "commit"
+them by calling this function.
+
+Calling this member function commits ALL open transactions on this ODBC
+connection. For example, if three different wxDbTable instances used the
+same connection to the datasource, committing changes made on one of those
+wxDbTable instances commits any pending transactions on all three wxDbTable
+instances.
+
+Until a call to wxDb::CommitTrans() is made, no other user or cursor is able
+to see any changes made to the row(s) that have been inserted/modified/deleted.
+
+
+\wxheading{Special Note : {\it Cursors} }
+
+\normalbox{It is important to understand that different database/ODBC driver
+combinations handle transactions differently. One thing in particular that
+you must pay attention to is cursors, in regard to transactions. Cursors are
+what allow you to scroll through records forward and backward and to
+manipulate records as you scroll through them. When you issue a query, a
+cursor is created behind the scenes. The cursor keeps track of the query and
+keeps track of the current record pointer. After you commit or rollback a
+transaction, the cursor may be closed automatically. This is database
+dependent, and with some databases this behavior can be controlled through
+management functions. This means you would need to requery the datasource
+before you can perform any additional work using this cursor. This is only
+necessary however if the datasource closes the cursor after a commit or
+rollback. Use the
+\helpref{wxDbTable::IsCursorClosedOnCommit}{wxdbtableiscursorclosedoncommit}
+member function to determine the datasource's transaction behavior. Note, in
+many situations it is very inefficient to assume the cursor is closed and
+always requery. This could put a significant, unnecessary load on datasources
+that leave the cursors open after a transaction.}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDb::CreateView}\label{wxdbcreateviews}
+
+\func{bool}{CreateView}{\param{const wxString &}{ viewName},
+\param{const wxString &}{ colList}, \param{const wxString &}{pSqlStmt}}
+
+Creates a SQL VIEW of one or more tables in a single datasource. Note that
+this function will only work against databases which support views (currently
+only Oracle as of November 21 2000).
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{viewName}{The name of the view. e.g. PARTS\_V}
+
+\docparam{colList}{{\it OPTIONAL} Pass in a comma delimited list of column
+names if you wish to explicitly name each column in the result set. If not
+desired, pass in an empty string and the column names from the associated
+table(s) will be used.}
+
+\docparam{pSqlStmt}{Pointer to the select statement portion of the CREATE
+VIEW statement. Must be a complete, valid SQL SELECT statement.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+A 'view' is a logical table that derives columns from one or more other
+tables or views. Once the view is created, it can be queried exactly like
+any other table in the database.
+
+NOTE: Views are not available with all datasources. Oracle is one example
+of a datasource which does support views.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}

+\membersection{wxDb::Dbms}\label{wxdbdbms}
+
+\func{wxDBMS }{Dbms}{\void}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+The return value will be of the enumerated type wxDBMS. This enumerated
+type contains a list of all the currently tested and supported databases.
+
+Additional databases may work with these classes, but the databases
+returned by this function have been tested and confirmed to work with
+these ODBC classes.
+
+Possible values returned by this function can be viewed in the
+\helpref{Enumerated types}{wxdbenumeratedtypes} section of wxDb.
+
+There are known issues with conformance to the ODBC standards with several
+datasources supported by the wxWindows ODBC classes. Please see the overview
+for specific details on which datasource have which issues.
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The return value will indicate which of the supported datasources is

+
+\func{bool}{DispAllErrors}{\param{HENV}{ aHenv}, {\param}{HDBC}
+{ aHdbc = SQL\_NULL\_HDBC}, {\param}{HSTMT}{ aHstmt = SQL\_NULL\_HSTMT}}
+
+Used to log all database errors that occurred as a result of an executed
+database command. This logging is automatic and also includes debug logging
+when compiled in debug mode via \helpref{wxLogDebug}{wxlogdebug}. If logging
+is turned on via \helpref{wxDb::SetSqlLogging}{wxdbsetsqllogging}, then an
+entry is also logged to the defined log file.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{aHenv}{Handle to the ODBC environment.}
+
+\docparam{aHdbc}{Handle to the ODBC connection. Pass this in if the ODBC
+function call that erred required a hdbc or hstmt argument.}
+
+\docparam{aHstmt}{Handle to the ODBC statement being executed against. Pass
+this in if the ODBC function call that erred out required a hstmt argument.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This member function will log all of the ODBC error messages for the last
+ODBC function call that was made. This function is normally used internally
+within the ODBC class library, but can be used programmatically after calling
+ODBC functions directly (i.e. SQLFreeEnv()).
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The function always returns FALSE, so a call to this function can be made
+in the return statement of a code block in the event of a failure to
+perform an action (see the example below).

+\membersection{wxDb::DispNextError}\label{wxdbdispnexterror}
+
+\func{void}{DispNextError}{\void}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function is normally used internally within the ODBC class library.
+It could be used programmatically after calling ODBC functions directly. This
+function works in conjunction with \helpref{wxDb::GetNextError}{wxdbgetnexterror} when errors (or
+sometimes informational messages) returned from ODBC need to be analyzed
+rather than simply displaying them as an error. GetNextError() retrieves
+the next ODBC error from the ODBC error queue. The wxDb member variables
+"sqlState", "nativeError" and "errorMsg" could then be evaluated. To
+display the error retrieved, DispNextError() could then be called.
+The combination of GetNextError() and DispNextError() can be used to
+iteratively step through the errors returned from ODBC evaluating each
+one in context and displaying the ones you choose.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Drop the table before attempting to create it
+ sprintf(sqlStmt, "DROP TABLE %s", tableName);
+ // Execute the drop table statement
+ if (SQLExecDirect(hstmt,(UCHAR FAR *)sqlStmt,SQL_NTS) != SQL_SUCCESS)

+If the view does not exist, this function will return TRUE. Note that views are not supported with all datasources.
+
+\membersection{wxDb::ExecSql}\label{wxdbexecsql}
+
+
+\func{bool}{ExecSql}{\param{const wxString &}{pSqlStmt}}
+
+Allows a native SQL command to be executed directly against the datasource. In addition to being able to run any standard SQL command, use of this function allows a user to (potentially) utilize features specific to the datasource they are connected to that may not be available through ODBC. The ODBC driver will pass the specified command directly to the datasource.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{pSqlStmt}{Pointer to the SQL statement to be executed.}
- // Free Environment Handle that ODBC uses
- if (SQLFreeEnv(Db.Henv) != SQL_SUCCESS)
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This member extends the wxDb class and allows you to build and execute ANY VALID

+
+This function does NOT indicate if the ODBC driver or datasource supports

+
+If a wxDb instance was created as being capable of only forward scrolling
+cursors, then even if the datasource and ODBC driver support backward
+scrolling cursors, tables using this database connection would only be able
+to use forward scrolling cursors.
+
+The default setting of whether a wxDb connection to a database allows
+forward-only or also backward scrolling cursors is defined in setup.h by the
+value of wxODBC\_FWD\_ONLY\_CURSORS. This default setting can be overridden
+when the wxDb connection is initially created (see

+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function may indicate that the database connection is open, even if
+the call to \helpref{wxDb::Open}{wxdbopen} may have failed to fully

+
+Used to change certain properties of a column such as the length, or whether a column
+allows NULLs or not.
+
+\docparam{tableName}{Name of the table that the column to be modified is in.}
+\docparam{columnName}{Name of the column to be modified. NOTE: Name of column cannot

+\docparam{dataType}{Any one of DB\_DATA\_TYPE\_VARCHAR, DB\_DATA\_TYPE\_INTEGER,
+DB\_DATA\_TYPE\_FLOAT, DB\_DATA\_TYPE\_DATE.}
+\docparam{columnLength}{New size of the column. Valid only for DB\_DATA\_TYPE\_VARCHAR
+dataType fields. Default is 0.}
+\docparam{optionalParam}{Default is "".}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Cannot be used to modify the precision of a numeric column, therefore 'columnLength'
+is ignored unless the dataType is DB\_DATA\_TYPE\_VARCHAR.
+
+Some datasources do not allow certain properties of a column to be changed if any rows
+currently have data stored in that column. Those datasources that do allow columns
+to be changed with data in the rows many handle truncation and/or expansion in
+different ways. Please refer to the reference material for the datasource being
+used for behavioral descriptions.
+

+\membersection{wxDb::Open}\label{wxdbopen}
+
+\func{bool}{Open}{\param{const wxString &}{Dsn}, \param{const wxString &}{Uid},
+\param{const wxString &}{AuthStr}}
+
+\func{bool}{Open}{\param{wxDb *}{copyDb}}
+
+Opens a connection to the datasource, sets certain behaviors of the datasource
+to confirm to the accepted behaviors (e.g. cursor position maintained on
+commits), and queries the datasource for its representations of the basic
+datatypes to determine the form in which the data going to/from columns in
+the data tables are to be handled.
+
+The second form of this function, which accepts a "wxDb *" as a parameter,
+can be used to avoid the overhead (execution time, database load, network
+traffic) which are needed to determine the data types and representations
+of data that are necessary for cross-datasource support by these classes.
+
+Normally the first form of the wxDb::Open() function will open the connection
+and then send a series of queries to the datasource asking it for its
+representation of data types, and all the features it supports. If one
+connection to the datasource has already been made previously, the information
+gathered when that connection was created can just be copied to any new
+connections to the same datasource by passing a pointer to the first
+connection in as a parameter to the wxDb::Open() function. Note that this
+new connection created from the first connections information will use the
+same Dsn/Uid/AuthStr as the first connection used.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{Dsn}{datasource name. The name of the ODBC datasource as
+assigned when the datasource is initially set up through the ODBC data
+source manager.}
+\docparam{Uid}{User ID. The name (ID) of the user you wish to connect as
+to the datasource. The user name (ID) determines what objects you
+have access to in the datasource and what datasource privileges you have.
+Privileges include being able to create new objects, update objects, delete
+objects and so on. Users and privileges are normally administered by the
+database administrator.}
+\docparam{AuthStr}{The password associated with the Uid.}
+\docparam{copyDb}{Already completely configured and opened datasource connection
+from which all Dsn, Uid, AuthStr, and data typing information is to be copied
+from for use by this datasource connection.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+After a wxDb instance is created, it must then be opened. When opening a
+datasource, there must be three pieces of information passed. The data
+source name, user name (ID) and the password for the user. No database
+activity on the datasource can be performed until the connection is opened.
+This is normally done at program startup and the datasource remains
+open for the duration of the program/module run.
+
+It is possible to have connections to multiple datasources open at the same
+time to support distributed database connections by having separate instances
+of wxDb objects that use either the same or different Dsn/Uid/AuthStr settings.

+If this function returns a value of FALSE, it does not necessarily mean that
+the connection to the datasource was not opened. It may mean that some
+portion of the initialization of the connection failed (such as a datatype not
+being able to be determined how the datasource represents it). To determine
+if the connection to the database failed, use the \helpref{wxDb::IsOpen}{wxdbisopen}
+function after receiving a FALSE result back from this function to determine if
+the connection was opened or not. If this function returns FALSE, but \helpref{wxDb::IsOpen}{wxdbisopen}
+returns TRUE, then direct SQL commands may be passed to the database
+connection and can be successfully executed, but use of the datatypes (such as
+by a wxDbTable instance) that are normally determined during open will not be
+possible.

+\membersection{wxDb::RollbackTrans}\label{wxdbrollbacktrans}
+
+\func{bool}{RollbackTrans}{\void}
+
+Function to "undo" changes made to the database. After an insert/update/delete, the operation may be "undone" by issuing this command any time before a \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} is called on the database connection.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Transactions begin implicitly as soon as you make a change to the database. The
+transaction continues until either a commit or rollback is executed. Calling
+wxDb::RollbackTrans() will result in ALL changes done using this database
+connection that have not already been committed to be "undone" back to the last

+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Turns on/off debug error messages from the ODBC class library. When

+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{tableName}{Name of the table to check for the existence of.}
+\docparam{userID}{Owner of the table (also referred to as schema). Specify a userID when the datasource you are connected

+\end{verbatim}
+}
+\docparam{schema}{{\it OPTIONAL.} Owner of the table. Specify a userID when the datasource
+you are connected to allows multiple unique tables with the same name to be

+Currently unused.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+The scope of privilege allowed to the connected user by a given table
+privilege is datasource dependent.
+
+For example, the privilege UPDATE might allow the connected user to update
+all columns in a table on one datasource, but only those columns for
+which the grantor (the user that granted the connected user) has the UPDATE
+privilege on another datasource.
+
+Looking up a user's privileges to a table can be time consuming depending on the
+datasource and ODBC driver. This time can be minimized by passing a {\it schema}
+as a parameter. With some datasources/drivers, the difference can be several
+seconds of time difference.

+\section{\class{wxDbColDef}}\label{wxdbcoldef}
+
+This class is used to hold information about the columns bound to an
+instance of a wxDbTable object.
+
+Each instance of this class describes one column in the wxDbTable
+object. When calling the \helpref{wxDb constructor}{wxdbconstr}, a
+parameter passed in indicates the number of columns that will be defined for
+the wxDbTable object. The constructor uses this information to allocate
+adequate memory for all of the column descriptions in your wxDbTable object.
+Private member wxDbTable::colDefs is a pointer to this chunk of memory
+maintained by the wxDbTable class (and can be retrieved using the
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetColDefs}{wxdbtablegetcoldefs} function).
+To access the nth column definition of your wxDbTable object, just reference
+wxDbColDefs element [n - 1].
+
+Typically, \helpref{wxDbTable::SetColDefs}{wxdbtablesetcoldefs} is used to
+populate an array of these data structures for the wxDbTable instance.
+
+Currently there are no accessor functions for this class, so all members are
+public.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxChar ColName[DB_MAX_COLUMN_NAME_LEN+1]; // Column Name
+ int DbDataType; - Logical Data Type;
+ e.g. DB_DATA_TYPE_INTEGER
+ SWORD SqlCtype; - C data type; e.g. SQL_C_LONG
+ void *PtrDataObj; - Address of the data object
+ int SzDataObj; - Size, in bytes, of the data object
+ bool KeyField; - Is column part of the PRIMARY KEY for the
+ table? -- Date fields should NOT be
+ KeyFields
+ bool Updateable; - Column is updateable?
+ bool InsertAllowed; - Column included in INSERT statements?
+ bool DerivedCol; - Column is a derived value?

+
+Constructor which allows initial settings of all the classes member variables.

+If NULL is passed for this parameter, the constructor will call
+\helpref{wxDConnectInf::AllocHenv}{wxdbconnectinfallochenv} internally. A
+flag is set internally also to indicate that the HENV was created by the
+constructor so that when the default class destructor is called, the
+destructor will call \helpref{wxDConnectInf::FreeHenv}{wxdbconnectinffreehenv}
+to free the environment handle automatically.}
+\docparam{dsn}{Name of the datasource to be used in creating wxDb instances

+\docparam{password}{{\it OPTIONAL} Password to be associated with the user
+ID specified in 'userID'. Default is "".}
+\docparam{defaultDir}{{\it OPTIONAL} Used for datasources which require the

+\section{\class{wxDbInf}}\label{wxdbinf}
+
+Contains information regarding the database connection (datasource name,
+number of tables, etc). A pointer to a wxDbTableInf is included in this
+class so a program can create a wxDbTableInf array instance to maintain all
+information about all tables in the datasource to have all the datasource's
+information in one memory structure.
+
+Primarily, this class is used internally by the wxWindows ODBC classes.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxChar catalog[128+1];
+ wxChar schema[128+1]; // typically means owner of table(s)
+ int numTables; // How many tables does this
+ datasource have
+ wxDbTableInf *pTableInf; // Equals a new
+ wxDbTableInf[numTables];
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The constructor for this class initializes all the values to zero, "", or NULL.
+
+The destructor for this class takes care of deleting the pTableInf member if
+it is non-NULL.

+
+\func{void}{BuildUpdateStmt}{\param{wxString &}{pSqlStmt}, \param{int }{typeOfUpd},
+\param{const wxString &}{pWhereClause=""}}
+
+Constructs the full SQL statement that can be used to update all rows matching
+the criteria in the pWhereClause.
+
+If typeOfUpd is DB\_UPD\_KEYFIELDS, then the current values in the bound columns
+are used to determine which row(s) in the table are to be updated. The
+exception to this is when a datasource supports ROW IDs (Oracle). The ROW ID
+column is used for efficiency purposes when available.
+
+NOTE: Only the columns specified in \helpref{wxDbTable::SetColDefs}{wxdbtablesetcoldefs}
+statements are included in the list of columns updated by the SQL statement
+created by a call to this function. Any column definitions that were defined

+does NOT include the word 'WHERE'.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{pWhereClause}{Pointer to storage for the SQL statement retrieved.
+To be sure you have adequate space allocated for the SQL statement, allocate

+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetFromClause}{wxdbtablesetfromclause},
+to clarify which table a column name reference belongs to. Default is "".}
+\docparam{useLikeComparison}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Should the constructed WHERE
+clause utilize the LIKE comparison operator. If FALSE, then the '='
+operator is used. Default is FALSE.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This member function allows you to see what the SQL WHERE clause looks like
+that the ODBC class library builds. This can be used for debugging purposes
+if you are having problems executing your own SQL statements.
+
+If using 'typeOfWhere' set to DB\_WHERE\_MATCHING, any bound columns currently
+containing a NULL value are not included in the WHERE clause's list of
+columns to use in the comparison.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::CanSelectForUpdate}\label{wxdbtablecanselectforupdate}
+
+\func{bool}{CanSelectForUpdate}{\void}
+
+Use this function to determine if the datasource supports SELECT ... FOR UPDATE.
+When the keywords "FOR UPDATE" are included as part of your SQL SELECT statement,
+all records {\it retrieved} (not just queried, but actually retrieved using
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetNext}{wxdbtablegetnext}, etc) from the result set are
+locked.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Not all datasources support the "FOR UPDATE" clause, so you must use this
+member function to determine if the datasource currently connected to supports
+this behavior or not before trying to select using "FOR UPDATE".
+
+If the wxDbTable instance was created with the parameter wxDB\_QUERY\_ONLY, then
+this function will return FALSE. For all known databases which do not support
+the FOR UPDATE clause, this function will return FALSE also.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::CanUpdateByROWID}\label{wxdbtablecanupdatebyrowid}
+
+\func{bool}{CanUpdateByROWID}{\void}
+
+CURRENTLY ONLY POSSIBLE IF USING ORACLE.
+
+--- CURRENTLY DISABLED FOR *ALL* DATASOURCES --- NOV 1 2000 - gt
+
+Every Oracle table has a hidden column named ROWID. This is a pointer to the
+physical location of the record in the datasource and allows for very fast
+updates and deletes. The key is to retrieve this ROWID during your query so
+it is available during an update or delete operation.
+
+Use of the ROWID feature is always handled by the class library except in the
+case of \helpref{wxDbTable::QueryBySqlStmt}{wxdbtablequerybysqlstmt}. Since
+you are passing in the SQL SELECT statement,
+it is up to you to include the ROWID column in your query. If you do not,
+the application will still work, but may not be as optimized. The ROWID is
+always the last column in the column list in your SQL SELECT statement.
+The ROWID is not a column in the normal sense and should not be considered
+part of the column definitions for the wxDbTable object.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+The decision to include the ROWID in your SQL SELECT statement must be
+deferred until runtime since it depends on whether you are connected
+to an Oracle datasource or not.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Incomplete code sample
+ wxDbTable parts;
+ .....
+ if (parts.CanUpdByROWID())
+ {
+ // Note that the ROWID column must always be the last column selected
+ sqlStmt = "SELECT PART_NO, PART_DESC, ROWID" FROM PARTS";
+ }
+ else
+ sqlStmt = "SELECT PART_NO, PART_DESC FROM PARTS";
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::ClearMemberVar}\label{wxdbtableclearmembervar}
+
+\func{void}{ClearMemberVar}{\param{UWORD }{colNo}, \param{bool }{setToNull=FALSE}}
+
+Same as \helpref{wxDbTable::ClearMemberVars}{wxdbtableclearmembervars} except
+that this function clears only the specified column of its values, and
+optionally sets the column to be a NULL column.
+
+\docparam{colNo}{Column number that is to be cleared. This number (between 0
+and (noCols-1)) is the index of the column definition created using the
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetColDefs}{wxdbtablesetcoldefs} function.}
+\docparam{setToNull}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Indicates whether the column should be
+flagged as being a NULL value stored in the bound memory variable. If TRUE,
+then any value stored in the bound member variable is cleared. Default is
+FALSE.}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::ClearMemberVars}\label{wxdbtableclearmembervars}
+
+\func{void}{ClearMemberVars}{\param{bool }{setToNull=FALSE}}
+
+Initializes all bound columns of the wxDbTable instance to zero. In the case
+of a string, zero is copied to the first byte of the string.
+
+\docparam{setToNull}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Indicates whether all columns should be
+flagged as having a NULL value stored in the bound memory variable. If TRUE,
+then any value stored in the bound member variable is cleared. Default is
+FALSE.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This is useful before calling functions such as
+\helpref{wxDbTable::QueryMatching}{wxdbtablequerymatching} or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::DeleteMatching}{wxdbtabledeletematching} since these
+functions build their WHERE clauses from non-zero columns. To call either
+\helpref{wxDbTable::QueryMatching}{wxdbtablequerymatching} or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::DeleteMatching}{wxdbtabledeletematching} use this sequence:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+1) ClearMemberVars()
+2) Assign columns values you wish to match on
+3) Call wxDbTable::QueryMatching() or wxDbTable::DeleteMatching()
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::CloseCursor}\label{wxdbtableclosecursor}
+
+\func{bool}{CloseCursor}{\param{HSTMT}{cursor}}
+
+Closes the specified cursor associated with the wxDbTable object.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{cursor}{The cursor to be closed.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Typically handled internally by the ODBC class library, but may be used by the
+programmer if desired.
+
+
+\normalbox{DO NOT CLOSE THE wxDB\_DEFAULT\_CURSOR!}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::Count}\label{wxdbtablecount}
+
+\func{ULONG }{Count}{\param{const wxString &}{args="*"}}
+
+Returns the number of records which would be in the result set using the
+current query parameters specified in the WHERE and FROM clauses.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{args}{{\it OPTIONAL}. This argument allows the use of the
+DISTINCT keyword against a column name to cause the returned count to
+only indicate the number of rows in the result set that have a unique
+value in the specified column. An example is shown below. Default is "*",
+meaning a count of the total number of rows matching is returned, regardless
+of uniqueness.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function can be called before or after an actual query to obtain the
+count of records in the result set. Count() uses its own cursor, so result
+set cursor positioning is not affected by calls to Count().
+
+WHERE and FROM clauses specified using
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetWhereClause}{wxdbtablesetwhereclause}
+and \helpref{wxDbTable::SetFromClause}{wxdbtablesetfromclause} ARE used by
+this function.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+
+ USERS TABLE
+
+ FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME
+ ----------- ----------
+ John Doe
+ Richard Smith
+ Michael Jones
+ John Carpenter
+
+ // Incomplete code sample
+ wxDbTable users;
+ .....
+ users.SetWhereClause("");
+
+ // This Count() will return 4, as there are four users listed above
+ // that match the query parameters
+ totalNumberOfUsers = users.Count();
+
+ // This Count() will return 3, as there are only 3 unique first names
+ // in the table above - John, Richard, Michael.
+ totalNumberOfUniqueFirstNames = users.Count("DISTINCT FIRST_NAME");
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::CreateIndex}\label{wxdbtablecreateindex}
+
+\func{bool}{CreateIndex}{\param{const wxString &}{idxName}, \param{bool }{unique},
+\param{UWORD }{noIdxCols}, \param{wxDbIdxDef *}{pIdxDefs},
+\param{bool }{attemptDrop=TRUE}}
+
+This member function allows you to create secondary (non primary) indexes on
+your tables. You first create your table, normally specifying a primary
+index, and then create any secondary indexes on the table. Indexes in
+relational model are not required. You do not need indexes to look up records
+in a table or to join two tables together. In the relational model, indexes,
+if available, provide a quicker means to look up data in a table. To enjoy
+the performance benefits of indexes, the indexes must be defined on the
+appropriate columns and your SQL code must be written in such a way as to
+take advantage of those indexes.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{idxName}{Name of the Index. Name must be unique within the table
+space of the datasource.}
+\docparam{unique}{Indicates if this index is unique.}
+\docparam{noIdxCols}{Number of columns in the index.}
+\docparam{pIdxDefs}{A pointer to an array wxDbIdxDef structures. }
+\docparam{attemptDrop}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Indicates if the function should try
+to execute a \helpref{wxDbTable::DropIndex}{wxdbtabledropindex} on the index
+name provided before trying to create the index name. Default is TRUE.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+The first parameter, index name, must be unique and should be given a
+meaningful name. Common practice is to include the table name as a prefix
+in the index name (e.g. For table PARTS, you might want to call your index
+PARTS\_IDX1). This will allow you to easily view all
+of the indexes defined for a given table grouped together alphabetically.
+
+The second parameter indicates if the index is unique or not. Uniqueness
+is enforced at the RDBMS level preventing rows which would have duplicate
+indexes from being inserted into the table when violating a unique index's
+uniqueness.
+
+In the third parameter, specify how many columns are in your index. This
+number must match the number of columns defined in the 'pIdxDefs' parameter.
+
+The fourth parameter specifies which columns make up the index using the
+wxDbIdxDef structure. For each column in the index, you must specify two
+things, the column name and the sort order (ascending / descending). See
+the example below to see how to build and pass in the wxDbIdxDef structure.
+
+The fifth parameter is provided to handle the differences in datasources as
+to whether they will automatically overwrite existing indexes with the same
+name or not. Some datasources require that the existing index must be dropped
+first, so this is the default behavior.
+
+Some datasources (MySQL, and possibly others) require columns which are to be
+part of an index to be defined as NOT NULL. When this function is called, if
+a column is not defined to be NOT NULL, a call to this function will modify
+the column definition to change any columns included in the index to be
+NOT NULL. In this situation, if a NULL value already exists in one of the
+columns that is being modified, creation of the index will fail.
+
+PostGres is unable to handle index definitions which specify whether the index
+is ascending or descending, and defaults to the system default when the index
+is created.
+
+It is not necessary to call \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans}
+after executing this function.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Create a secondary index on the PARTS table
+ wxDbIdxDef idxDef[2]; // 2 columns make up the index
+
+ wxStrcpy(idxDef[0].ColName, "PART_DESC"); // Column 1
+ idxDef[0].Ascending = TRUE;
+
+ wxStrcpy(idxDef[1].ColName, "SERIAL_NO"); // Column 2
+ idxDef[1].Ascending = FALSE;
+
+ // Create a name for the index based on the table's name
+ wxString indexName;
+ indexName.Printf("%s_IDX1",parts->GetTableName());
+ parts->CreateIndex(indexName, TRUE, 2, idxDef);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::CreateTable}\label{wxdbtablecreatetable}
+
+\func{bool}{CreateTable}{\param{bool }{attemptDrop=TRUE}}
+
+Creates a table based on the definitions previously defined for this
+wxDbTable instance.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{attemptDrop}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Indicates whether the driver should
+attempt to drop the table before trying to create it. Some datasources will
+not allow creation of a table if the table already exists in the table space
+being used. Default is TRUE.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function creates the table and primary index (if any) in the table space
+associated with the connected datasource. The owner of these objects will
+be the user id that was given when \helpref{wxDb::Open}{wxdbopen} was called.
+The objects will be created in the default schema/table space for that user.
+
+In your derived wxDbTable object constructor, the columns and primary index
+of the table are described through the \helpref{wxDbColDef}{wxdbcoldef} structure.
+\helpref{wxDbTable::CreateTable}{wxdbtablecreatetable} uses this information
+to create the table and to add the primary index. See
+\helpref{wxDbTable}{wxdbtable} ctor and wxDbColDef description for additional
+information on describing the columns of the table.
+
+It is not necessary to call \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans}
+after executing this function.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::DB\_STATUS}\label{wxdbtabledbstatus}
+
+\func{bool}{DB\_STATUS}{\void}
+
+Accessor function that returns the wxDb private member variable DB\_STATUS for
+the database connection used by this instance of wxDbTable.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::Delete}\label{wxdbtabledelete}
+
+\func{bool}{Delete}{\void}
+
+Deletes the row from the table indicated by the current cursor.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Use \helpref{wxDbTable::GetFirst}{wxdbtablegetfirst},
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetLast}{wxdbtablegetlast},
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetNext}{wxdbtablegetnext} or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetPrev}{wxdbtablegetprev} to position the cursor to
+a valid record. Once positioned on a record, call this function to delete
+the row from the table.
+
+A \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} or
+\helpref{wxDb::RollbackTrans}{wxdbrollbacktrans} must be called after use of
+this function to commit or rollback the deletion.
+
+NOTE: Most datasources have a limited size "rollback" segment. This means
+that it is only possible to insert/update/delete a finite number of rows
+without performing a \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} or
+\helpref{wxDb::RollbackTrans}{wxdbrollbacktrans}. Size of the rollback
+segment varies from database to database, and is user configurable in
+most databases. Therefore it is usually best to try to perform a commit
+or rollback at relatively small intervals when processing a larger number
+of actions that insert/update/delete rows in a table.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::DeleteCursor}\label{wxdbtabledeletecursor}
+
+\func{bool}{DeleteCursor}{\param{HSTMT *}{hstmtDel}}
+
+Allows a program to delete a cursor.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{hstmtDel}{Handle of the cursor to delete.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+For default cursors associated with the instance of wxDbTable, it is not
+necessary to specifically delete the cursors. This is automatically done
+in the wxDbTable destructor.
+
+NOTE: If the cursor could not be deleted for some reason, an error is logged
+indicating the reason. Even if the cursor could not be deleted, the HSTMT
+that is passed in is deleted, and the pointer is set to NULL.
+
+\normalbox{DO NOT DELETE THE wxDB\_DEFAULT\_CURSOR!}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::DeleteMatching}\label{wxdbtabledeletematching}
+
+\func{bool}{DeleteMatching}{\void}
+
+This member function allows you to delete records from your wxDbTable object
+by specifying the data in the columns to match on.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+To delete all users with a first name of "JOHN", do the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ 1) Clear all "columns" using wxDbTable::ClearMemberVars().
+ 2) Set the FIRST_NAME column equal to "JOHN".
+ 3) Call wxDbTable::DeleteMatching().
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The WHERE clause is built by the ODBC class library based on all non-NULL
+columns. This allows deletion of records by matching on any column(s) in
+your wxDbTable instance, without having to write the SQL WHERE clause.
+
+A \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} or
+\helpref{wxDb::RollbackTrans}{wxdbrollbacktrans} must be called after use of
+this function to commit or rollback the deletion.
+
+NOTE: Row(s) should be locked before deleting them to make sure they are
+not already in use. This can be achieved by calling
+\helpref{wxDbTable::QueryMatching}{wxdbtablequerymatching},
+and then retrieving the records, locking each as you go (assuming FOR UPDATE
+is allowed on the datasource). After the row(s) have been successfully locked,
+call this function.
+
+NOTE: Most datasources have a limited "rollback" segment. This means
+that it is only possible to insert/update/delete a finite number of rows
+without performing a \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} or
+\helpref{wxDb::RollbackTrans}{wxdbrollbacktrans}. Size of the rollback
+segment varies from database to database, and is user configurable in
+most databases. Therefore it is usually best to try to perform a commit
+or rollback at relatively small intervals when processing a larger number
+of actions that insert/update/delete rows in a table.
+
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Incomplete code sample to delete all users with a first name
+ // of "JOHN"
+ users.ClearMemberVars();
+ wxStrcpy(users.FirstName,"JOHN");
+ users.DeleteMatching();
+\end{verbatim}

+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::DeleteWhere}\label{wxdbtabledeletewhere}
+
+\func{bool}{DeleteWhere}{\param{const wxString &}{pWhereClause}}
+
+Deletes all rows from the table which match the criteria specified in the
+WHERE clause that is passed in.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{pWhereClause}{SQL WHERE clause. This WHERE clause determines which
+records will be deleted from the table interfaced through the wxDbTable
+instance. The WHERE clause passed in must be compliant with the SQL 92
+grammar. Do not include the keyword 'WHERE'
+}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This is the most powerful form of the wxDbTable delete functions. This
+function gives access to the full power of SQL. This function can be used
+to delete records by passing a valid SQL WHERE clause. Sophisticated
+deletions can be performed based on multiple criteria using the full
+functionality of the SQL language.
+
+A \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} must be called after use of
+this function to commit the deletions.
+
+Note: This function is limited to deleting records from the table associated
+with this wxDbTable object only. Deletions on joined tables is not possible.
+
+NOTE: Most datasources have a limited size "rollback" segment. This means
+that it is only possible to insert/update/delete a finite number of rows
+without performing a \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} or
+\helpref{wxDb::RollbackTrans}{wxdbrollbacktrans}. Size of the rollback
+segment varies from database to database, and is user configurable in
+most databases. Therefore it is usually best to try to perform a commit
+or rollback at relatively small intervals when processing a larger number
+of actions that insert/update/delete rows in a table.
+
+WHERE and FROM clauses specified using \helpref{wxDbTable::SetWhereClause}{wxdbtablesetwhereclause}
+and \helpref{wxDbTable::SetFromClause}{wxdbtablesetfromclause} are ignored by
+this function.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Delete parts 1 thru 10 from containers 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' that
+ // are magenta in color
+ parts.DeleteWhere("(PART_NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 10) AND \
+ CONTAINER IN ('X', 'Y', 'Z') AND \
+ UPPER(COLOR) = 'MAGENTA'");
+\end{verbatim}

+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::DropIndex}\label{wxdbtabledropindex}
+
+\func{bool}{DropIndex}{\param{const wxString &}{idxName}}
+
+Allows an index on the associated table to be dropped (deleted) if the user
+login has sufficient privileges to do so.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{idxName}{Name of the index to be dropped.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+If the index specified in the 'idxName' parameter does not exist, an error
+will be logged, and the function will return a result of FALSE.
+
+It is not necessary to call \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans}
+after executing this function.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::DropTable}\label{wxdbtabledroptable}
+
+\func{bool}{DropTable}{\void}
+
+Deletes the associated table if the user has sufficient privileges to do so.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function returns TRUE if the table does not exist, but only for
+supported databases (see \helpref{wxDb::Dbms}{wxdbdbms}). If a datasource
+is not specifically supported, and this function is called, the function
+will return FALSE.
+
+Most datasources/ODBC drivers will delete any indexes associated with the
+table automatically, and others may not. Check the documentation for your
+database to determine the behavior.
+
+It is not necessary to call \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans}
+after executing this function.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::From}\label{wxdbtablefrom}
+
+\func{const wxString &}{From}{}
+
+\func{void}{From}{\param{const wxString &}{From}}
+
+Accessor function for the private class member wxDbTable::from. Can be used
+as a synonym for \helpref{wxDbTable::GetFromClause}{wxdbtablegetfromclause}
+(the first form of this function) or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetFromClause}{wxdbtablesetfromclause} (the second form
+of this function).
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{From}{A comma separated list of table names that are to be outer
+joined with the base table's columns so that the joined table's columns
+may be returned in the result set or used as a portion of a comparison with
+the base table's columns. NOTE that the base tables name must NOT be included
+in the FROM clause, as it is automatically included by the wxDbTable class
+in constructing query statements.}
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The first form of this function returns the current value of the wxDbTable
+member variable ::from.
+
+The second form of the function has no return value, as it will always set
+the from clause successfully.

+\param{bool }{bindColumns=TRUE}}
+
+This function will create a new cursor that can be used to access the table
+being referenced by this wxDbTable instance, or to execute direct SQL commands
+on without affecting the cursors that are already defined and possibly
+positioned.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{setCursor}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Should this new cursor be set to be the

+query must be performed using \helpref{wxDbTable::Query}{wxdbtablequery},
+\helpref{wxDbTable::QueryOnKeyFields}{wxdbtablequeryonkeyfields},
+\helpref{wxDbTable::QueryMatching}{wxdbtablequerymatching} or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::QueryBySqlStmt}{wxdbtablequerybysqlstmt}.
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+This function returns FALSE when the current cursor has reached the beginning
+of the result set and there are now other rows prior to the cursors current

+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function can only be used if the datasource connection used by the

+\membersection{wxDbTable::IsCursorClosedOnCommit}\label{wxdbtableiscursorclosedoncommit}
+
+\func{bool }{IsCursorClosedOnCommit}{\void}
+
+Accessor function to return information collected during the opening of the
+datasource connection that is used by this wxDbTable instance. The result
+returned by this function indicates whether an implicit closing of the cursor is
+done after a commit on the database connection.
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+Returns TRUE if the cursor associated with this wxDbTable object is closed
+after a commit or rollback operation. Returns FALSE otherwise.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+If more than one wxDbTable instance used the same database connection, all cursors
+which use the database connection are closed on the commit if this function
+indicates TRUE.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::IsQueryOnly}\label{wxdbtableisqueryonly}
+
+\func{bool }{IsQueryOnly}{}
+
+Accessor function that returns a value indicating if this wxDbTable instance
+was created to allow only queries to be performed on the bound columns. If
+this function returns TRUE, then no actions may be performed using this
+wxDbTable instance that would modify (insert/delete/update) the table's data.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::Open}\label{wxdbtableopen}
+
+\func{bool }{Open}{\param{bool }{checkPrivileges=FALSE}, \param{bool }{checkTableExists=TRUE}}
+
+Every wxDbTable instance must be opened before it can be used. This function
+checks for the existence of the requested table, binds columns, creates required
+cursors, (insert/select and update if connection is not wxDB\_QUERY\_ONLY) and
+constructs the insert statement that is to be used for inserting data as a new
+row in the datasource.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{checkPrivileges}{Indicates whether the Open() function should check
+whether the current connected user has at least SELECT privileges to access the
+table to which they are trying to open. Default is FALSE.}
+
+\docparam{checkTableExists}{Indicates whether the Open() function should check
+whether the table exists in the database or not before opening it. Default is TRUE.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+If the function returns a FALSE value due to the table not existing, a log
+entry is recorded for the datasource connection indicating the problem
+that was detected when checking for table existence. Note that it is usually
+best for the calling routine to check for the existence of the table and for
+sufficent user privileges to access the table in the mode (wxDB\_QUERY\_ONLY or
+!wxDB\_QUERY\_ONLY) before trying to open the table for the best possible
+explanation as to why a table cannot be opened.
+
+Checking the user's privileges on a table can be quite time consuming during
+the open phase. With most applications, the programmer already knows that the
+user has sufficient privileges to access the table, so this check is normally
+not required.
+
+For best performance, open the table, and then use the
+\helpref{wxDb::TablePrivileges}{wxdbtableprivileges} function
+to check the users privileges. Passing a schema to the TablePrivileges()
+function can significantly speed up the privileges checks.

+\membersection{wxDbTable::OrderBy}\label{wxdbtableorderby}
+
+\func{const wxString &}{OrderBy}{}
+
+\func{void}{OrderBy}{\param{const wxString &}{OrderBy}}
+
+Accessor function for the private class member wxDbTable::orderBy. Can be
+used as a synonym for
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetOrderByClause}{wxdbtablegetorderbyclause}
+(the first form of this function) or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetOrderByClause}{wxdbtablesetorderbyclause}
+(the second form of this function).
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{OrderBy}{A comma separated list of column names that indicate the
+alphabetized/numeric sorting sequence that the result set is to be returned
+in. If a FROM clause has also been specified, each column name specified in
+the ORDER BY clause should be prefaced with the table name to which the column
+belongs using DOT notation (TABLE\_NAME.COLUMN\_NAME).}
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The first form of this function returns the current value of the wxDbTable
+member variable ::orderBy.
+
+The second form of the function has no return value.

+\membersection{wxDbTable::Query}\label{wxdbtablequery}
+
+\func{virtual bool }{Query}{\param{bool }{forUpdate=FALSE}, \param{bool }{distinct=FALSE}}
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{forUpdate}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Gives you the option of locking records
+as they are retrieved. If the RDBMS is not capable of the FOR UPDATE clause,
+this argument is ignored. See
+\helpref{wxDbTable::CanSelectForUpdate}{wxdbtablecanselectforupdate} for
+additional information regarding this argument. Default is FALSE.}
+\docparam{distinct}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Allows selection of only distinct values
+from the query (SELECT DISTINCT ... FROM ...). The notion of DISTINCT
+applies to all columns returned in the result set, not individual columns.
+Default is FALSE.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This function queries records from the datasource based on the three
+wxDbTable members: "where", "orderBy", and "from". Use
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetWhereClause}{wxdbtablesetwhereclause} to filter on
+records to be retrieved (e.g. All users with a first name of "JOHN").
+Use \helpref{wxDbTable::SetOrderByClause}{wxdbtablesetorderbyclause} to
+change the sequence in which records are returned in the result set from
+the datasource (e.g. Ordered by LAST\_NAME). Use
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetFromClause}{wxdbtablesetfromclause} to allow outer
+joining of the base table (the one being associated with this instance of
+wxDbTable) with other tables which share a related field.
+
+After each of these clauses are set/cleared, call wxDbTable::Query() to
+fetch the result set from the datasource.
+
+This scheme has an advantage if you have to requery your record set
+frequently in that you only have to set your WHERE, ORDER BY, and FROM
+clauses once. Then to refresh the record set, simply call wxDbTable::Query()
+as frequently as needed.
+
+Note that repeated calls to wxDbTable::Query() may tax the database
+server and make your application sluggish if done too frequently or
+unnecessarily.
+
+The base table name is automatically prepended to the base column names in
+the event that the FROM clause has been set (is non-null) using
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetFromClause}{wxdbtablesetfromclause}.
+
+The cursor for the result set is positioned {\it before} the first record in
+the result set after the query. To retrieve the first record, call either
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetFirst}{wxdbtablegetfirst} (only if backward scrolling
+cursors are available) or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetNext}{wxdbtablegetnext}. Typically, no data from the
+result set is returned to the client driver until a request such as
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetNext}{wxdbtablegetnext} is performed, so network
+traffic and database load are not overwhelmed transmitting data until the
+data is actually requested by the client. This behavior is solely dependent
+on the ODBC driver though, so refer to the ODBC driver's reference material
+for information on its behaviors.
+
+Values in the bound columns' memory variables are undefined after executing a
+call to this function and remain that way until a row in the result set is
+requested to be returned.
+
+The wxDbTable::Query() function is defined as "virtual" so that it may be
+overridden for application specific purposes.
+
+\normalbox{Be sure to set the wxDbTable's "where", "orderBy", and "from"
+member variables to "" if they are not to be used in the query. Otherwise,
+the results returned may have unexpected results (or no results) due to
+improper or incorrect query parameters constructed from the uninitialized
+clauses.}
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Incomplete code sample
+ parts->SetWhereClause("DESCRIPTION = 'FOOD'");
+ parts->SetOrderByClause("EXPIRATION_DATE");
+ parts->SetFromClause("");
+ // Query the records based on the where, orderBy and from clauses
+ // specified above
+ parts->Query();
+ // Display all records queried
+ while(parts->GetNext())
+ dispPart(parts); // user defined function
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::QueryBySqlStmt}\label{wxdbtablequerybysqlstmt}
+
+\func{bool}{QueryBySqlStmt}{\param{const wxString &}{pSqlStmt}}
+
+Performs a query against the datasource by accepting and passing verbatim the
+SQL SELECT statement passed to the function.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{pSqlStmt}{Pointer to the SQL SELECT statement to be executed.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This is the most powerful form of the query functions available. This member
+function allows a programmer to write their own custom SQL SELECT statement
+for requesting data from the datasource. This gives the programmer access
+to the full power of SQL for performing operations such as scalar functions,
+aggregate functions, table joins, and sub-queries, as well as datasource
+specific function calls.
+
+The requirements of the SELECT statement are the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ 1. Must return the correct number of columns. In the derived
+ wxDbTable constructor, it is specified how many columns are in
+ the wxDbTable object. The SELECT statement must return exactly
+ that many columns.
+
+ 2. The columns must be returned in the same sequence as specified
+ when defining the bounds columns using wxDbTable::SetColDefs(),
+ and the columns returned must be of the proper data type. For
+ example, if column 3 is defined in the wxDbTable bound column
+ definitions to be a float, the SELECT statement must return a
+ float for column 3 (e.g. PRICE * 1.10 to increase the price by
+ 10%).
+
+ 3. The ROWID can be included in your SELECT statement as the {\bf last}
+ column selected, if the datasource supports it. Use
+ wxDbTable::CanUpdByROWID() to determine if the ROWID can be
+ selected from the datasource. If it can, much better
+ performance can be achieved on updates and deletes by including
+ the ROWID in the SELECT statement.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Even though data can be selected from multiple tables (joins) in your select
+statement, only the base table associated with this wxDbTable object
+is automatically updated through the ODBC class library. Data from multiple
+tables can be selected for display purposes however. Include columns in
+the wxDbTable object and mark them as non-updateable (See
+\helpref{wxDbColDef}{wxdbcoldef} for details). This way columns can be
+selected and displayed from other tables, but only the base table will be
+updated automatically when performed through the
+\helpref{wxDbTable::Update}{wxdbtableupdate} function after using this type of
+query. To update tables other than the base table, use the
+\helpref{wxDbTable::Update}{wxdbtableupdate} function passing a SQL statement.
+
+After this function has been called, the cursor is positioned before the
+first record in the record set. To retrieve the first record, call
+either \helpref{wxDbTable::GetFirst}{wxdbtablegetfirst} or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetNext}{wxdbtablegetnext}.

+\membersection{wxDbTable::QueryMatching}\label{wxdbtablequerymatching}
+
+\func{virtual bool }{QueryMatching}{\param{bool }{forUpdate=FALSE},
+\param{bool }{distinct=FALSE}}
+
+QueryMatching allows querying of records from the table associated with
+the wxDbTable object by matching "columns" to values.
+
+For example: To query the datasource for the row with a PART\_NUMBER column
+value of "32", clear all column variables of the wxDbTable object, set the
+PartNumber variable that is bound to the PART\_NUMBER column in the wxDbTable
+object to "32", and then call wxDbTable::QueryMatching().
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{forUpdate}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Gives you the option of locking records
+as they are queried (SELECT ... FOR UPDATE). If the RDBMS is not capable of
+the FOR UPDATE clause, this argument is ignored. See
+\helpref{wxDbTable::CanSelectForUpdate}{wxdbtablecanselectforupdate} for
+additional information regarding this argument. Default is FALSE.}
+\docparam{distinct}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Allows selection of only distinct values
+from the query (SELECT DISTINCT ... FROM ...). The notion of DISTINCT
+applies to all columns returned in the result set, not individual columns.
+Default is FALSE.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+The SQL WHERE clause is built by the ODBC class library based on all
+non-zero/non-NULL columns in your wxDbTable object. Matches can be on one,
+many or all of the wxDbTable's columns. The base table name is prepended
+to the column names in the event that the wxDbTable's FROM clause is non-null.
+
+This function cannot be used to perform queries which will check for
+columns that are 0 or NULL, as the automatically constructed WHERE clause
+only will contain comparisons on column member variables that are
+non-zero/non-NULL.
+
+The primary difference between this function and \helpref{wxDbTable::QueryOnKeyFields}{wxdbtablequeryonkeyfields}
+is that this function can query on any column(s) in the wxDbTable object.
+Note however that this may not always be very efficient. Searching on
+non-indexed columns will always require a full table scan.
+
+The cursor is positioned before the first record in the record set after
+the query is performed. To retrieve the first record, the program must call
+either \helpref{wxDbTable::GetFirst}{wxdbtablegetfirst} or
+\helpref{wxDbTable::GetNext}{wxdbtablegetnext}.
+
+WHERE and FROM clauses specified using \helpref{wxDbTable::SetWhereClause}{wxdbtablesetwhereclause}
+and \helpref{wxDbTable::SetFromClause}{wxdbtablesetfromclause} are ignored by
+this function.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Incomplete code sample
+ parts->ClearMemberVars(); // Set all columns to zero
+ wxStrcpy(parts->PartNumber,"32"); // Set columns to query on
+ parts->OnHold = TRUE;
+ parts->QueryMatching(); // Query

+\membersection{wxDbTable::QueryOnKeyFields}\label{wxdbtablequeryonkeyfields}
+
+\func{bool }{QueryOnKeyFields}{\param{bool }{forUpdate=FALSE},
+\param{bool }{distinct=FALSE}}
+
+QueryOnKeyFields provides an easy mechanism to query records in the table
+associated with the wxDbTable object by the primary index column(s). Simply
+assign the primary index column(s) values and then call this member function
+to retrieve the record.
+
+Note that since primary indexes are always unique, this function implicitly
+always returns a single record from the database. The base table name is
+prepended to the column names in the event that the wxDbTable's FROM clause
+is non-null.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{forUpdate}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Gives you the option of locking records

+\helpref{wxDbTable::CanSelectForUpdate}{wxdbtablecanselectforupdate} for
+additional information regarding this argument. Default is FALSE.}
+\docparam{distinct}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Allows selection of only distinct values
+from the query (SELECT DISTINCT ... FROM ...). The notion of DISTINCT
+applies to all columns returned in the result set, not individual columns.
+Default is FALSE.}

+
+\wxheading{Example}

+\membersection{wxDbTable::Refresh}\label{wxdbtablerefresh}
+
+\func{bool}{Refresh}{\void}
+
+This function re-reads the bound columns into the memory variables, setting
+them to the current values stored on the disk.
+
+The cursor position and result set are unaffected by calls to this function.
+(The one exception is in the case where the record to be refreshed has been
+deleted by some other user or transaction since it was originally retrieved
+as part of the result set. For most datasources, the default behavior in
+this situation is to return the value that was originally queried for the
+result set, even though it has been deleted from the database. But this is
+datasource dependent, and should be tested before relying on this behavior.)
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+This routine is only guaranteed to work if the table has a unique primary
+index defined for it. Otherwise, more than one record may be fetched and
+there is no guarantee that the correct record will be refreshed. The
+table's columns are refreshed to reflect the current data in the database.

+\docparam{fieldName}{Column name from the associated data table.}
+\docparam{dataType}{Logical data type. Valid logical types include:}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ DB_DATA_TYPE_VARCHAR : strings
+ DB_DATA_TYPE_INTEGER : non-floating point numbers
+ DB_DATA_TYPE_FLOAT : floating point numbers
+ DB_DATA_TYPE_DATE : dates
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\docparam{pData}{Pointer to the data object that will hold the column's
+value when a row of data is returned from the datasource.}
+\docparam{cType}{SQL C Type. This defines the data type that the SQL
+representation of the data is converted to to be stored in {\it pData}.
+Other valid types are available also, but these are the most common ones:}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ SQL_C_CHAR // strings
+ SQL_C_LONG
+ SQL_C_ULONG
+ SQL_C_SHORT
+ SQL_C_USHORT
+ SQL_C_FLOAT
+ SQL_C_DOUBLE
+ SQL_C_NUMERIC
+ SQL_C_TIMESTAMP
+
+ SQL_C_BOOLEAN // defined in db.h
+ SQL_C_ENUM // defined in db.h
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\docparam{size}{Maximum size in bytes of the {\it pData} object.}
+\docparam{keyField}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Indicates if this column is part of the
+primary index. Default is FALSE.}
+\docparam{upd}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Are updates allowed on this column?
+Default is TRUE.}
+\docparam{insAllow}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Inserts allowed on this column?
+Default is TRUE.}
+\docparam{derivedCol}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Is this a derived column (non-base
+table column for query only)? Default is FALSE.}
+
+\docparam{colInfs}{Pointer to an array of wxDbColInf instances which contains
+all the information necessary to create {\it numCols} column definitions.}
+\docparam{numCols}{Number of elements of wxDbColInf type that are pointed
+to by {\it colInfs}, which are to have column definitions created from them.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+If {\it pData} is to hold a string of characters, be sure to include enough
+space for the NULL terminator in pData and in the byte count of {\it size}.
+
+Both forms of this function provide a shortcut for defining the columns in
+your wxDbTable object. Use this function in any derived wxDbTable
+constructor when describing the column/columns in the wxDbTable object.
+
+The second form of this function is primarily used when the
+\helpref{wxDb::GetColumns}{wxdbgetcolumns} function was used to query the
+datasource for the column definitions, so that the column definitions are
+already stored in wxDbColInf form. One example use of using
+\helpref{wxDb::GetColumns}{wxdbgetcolumns} then using this function is if
+a data table existed in one datasource, and the table's column definitions
+were to be copied over to another datasource or table.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Long way not using this function
+ wxStrcpy(colDefs[0].ColName, "PART_NO");
+ colDefs[0].DbDataType = DB_DATA_TYPE_VARCHAR;

+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{hstmtActivate}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Pointer to the cursor that is to

+back to the wxDbTable's default (original) cursor that was created when the
+wxDbTable instance was first created. Default is wxDB\_DEFAULT\_CURSOR.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+When swapping between cursors, the member variables of the wxDbTable object
+are automatically refreshed with the column values of the row that the
+current cursor is positioned at (if any). If the cursor is not positioned,
+then the data in member variables is undefined.
+
+The only way to return back to the cursor that was in use before this
+function was called is to programmatically determine the current cursor's HSTMT
+{\bf BEFORE} calling this function using \helpref{wxDbTable::GetCursor}{wxdbtablegetcursor}
+and saving a pointer to that cursor.

+
+Synonym to this function is one form of \helpref{wxDbTable::From}{wxdbtablefrom}
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{From}{A comma separated list of table names that are to be outer
+joined with the base table's columns so that the joined table's columns
+may be returned in the result set or used as a portion of a comparison with
+the base table's columns. NOTE that the base tables name must NOT be included
+in the FROM clause, as it is automatically included by the wxDbTable class
+in constructing query statements.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Used by the \helpref{wxDbTable::Query}{wxdbtablequery} and
+\helpref{wxDbTable::Count}{wxdbtablecount} member functions to allow outer
+joining of records from multiple tables.
+
+Do {\bf not} include the keyword "FROM" when setting the FROM clause.
+
+If using the FROM clause when performing a query, be certain to include in
+the corresponding WHERE clause a comparison of a column from either the base

+the datasource knows on which column values the tables should be joined on.
+
+\wxheading{Example}

+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{colNo}{Index into the column definitions used when first defining

+\func{bool }{Update}{\param{const wxString &}{pSqlStmt}}
+
+The first form of this function will update the row that the current cursor
+is currently positioned at with the values in the memory variables that
+are bound to the columns. The actual SQL statement to perform the update
+is automatically created by the ODBC class, and then executed.
