+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{privileges}{Use this argument to select which privileges you want to
+grant. Pass DB\_GRANT\_ALL to grant all privileges. To grant individual

+\docparam{tableName}{The name of the table you wish to grant privileges on.}
+\docparam{userList}{{\it OPTIONAL.} A comma delimited list of users to grant the privileges to. If this argument is not passed in, the privileges will be given to the general PUBLIC.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Some databases require user names to be specified in all capital letters (i.e. Oracle). This function does not automatically capitalize the user names passed in the comma-separated list. This is the responsibility of the calling routine.
+
+The currently logged in user must have sufficient grantor privileges for this

+\func{bool}{IsFwdOnlyCursors}{\void}
+
+This setting indicates whether this database connection was created
+as being capable of using only forward scrolling cursors.
+
+This function does NOT indicate if the ODBC driver or datasource supports
+backward scrolling cursors. There is no standard way of detecting if the
+driver or datasource can support backward scrolling cursors.
+
+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
+\helpref{wxDb constructor}{wxdbctor} and \helpref{wxDbGetConnection}{wxdbfunctions}).
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+Returns true if this datasource connection is defined as using only forward
+scrolling cursors, or false if the connection is defined as being allowed to
+use backward scrolling cursors and their associated functions (see note above).
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Added as of wxWidgets v2.4 release, this function is a renamed version of
+wxDb::FwdOnlyCursors() to match the normal wxWidgets naming conventions for
+class member functions.
+
+This function is not available in versions prior to v2.4. You should

+
+\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
+initialize the connection correctly. The connection to the database
+{\it is} open and can be used via the direct SQL commands, if this
+function returns true. Other functions which depend on the
+\helpref{wxDb::Open}{wxdbopen} to have completed correctly may not function
+as expected. The return result from \helpref{wxDb::Open}{wxdbopen} is the
+only way to know if complete initialization of this wxDb connection was

+\docparam{SQLState}{{\it OPTIONAL.} Native SQL state error. Default is 0.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Calling this function will enter a log message in the error list maintained
+for the database connection. This log message is free form and can be
+anything the programmer wants to enter in the error list.

+
+\func{void}{ModifyColumn}{\param{const wxString \&}{tableName} \param{const wxString \&}{ColumnName}
+\param{int }{dataType} \param{ULONG }{columnLength=0} \param{const wxString \&}{optionalParam=""}}
+
+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
+be changed with this function.}
+\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.

+
+\func{bool}{Open}{\param{wxDbConnectInf *}{dbConnectInf},
+\param{bool }{failOnDataTypeUnsupported}}
+
+\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{failOnDataTypeUnsupporte}{As part of connecting to a database, the
+wxDb::Open() function will query the database to find out the native types
+that it supports. With some databases, some data types may not be supported,
+or not sufficiently supported, for use with the wxODBC classes. Normally
+a program should fail in this case, so as not to try to use a data type
+that is not supported. This parameter allows the programmer to override the
+failure if they wish and continue on using the connection.}
+\docparam{dbConnectInf}{Contains a DSN, Uid, Password, or a connection string
+to be used in opening a new connection to the database. If a connection
+string is present, then the connection string will be used. If there is no
+connection string present, then the DSN, Uid, and Password are used.}
+\docparam{inConnectStr}{A valid ODBC connection string used to connect to a
+database}
+\docparam{copyDb}{Already completely configured and opened datasource
+connection from which all Dsn, Uid, AuthStr, connection string, and data
+typing information is to be copied from for use by this datasource
+connection. If 'copyDb' used a connection string to create its connection
+originally, then the connection being made by this call to wxDb::Open() will
+use that same connection string.}
+
+\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.
+
+\normalbox{The {\it Dsn}, {\it Uid}, and {\it AuthStr} string pointers that are passed in
+are copied. NOT the strings themselves, only the pointers. The calling routine
+must maintain the memory for these three strings for the life of the wxDb instance.}
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxDb sampleDB(DbConnectInf.GetHenv());
+ if (!sampleDB.Open("Oracle 7.1 HP/UX", "gtasker", "myPassword"))

+ if (sampleDb.IsOpen())

+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
+commit/rollback that was successfully executed.

+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Turns on/off debug error messages from the ODBC class library. When
+this function is passed true, errors are reported to the user/logged automatically

+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+When called with {\it sqlLogON}, all commands sent to the datasource engine are logged to the file specified by {\it filename}. Logging is done by embedded \helpref{wxDb::WriteSqlLog}{wxdbwritesqllog} calls in the database member functions, or may be manually logged by adding calls to \helpref{wxDb::WriteSqlLog}{wxdbwritesqllog} in your own source code.

+\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}{wxdbctor}, 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?
+ SDWORD CbValue; - !!!Internal use only!!!
+ bool Null; - NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED

+
+This class is used for holding the data necessary for connecting to the ODBC
+datasource. That information includes: SQL environment handle, datasource
+name, user ID, password and default directory path (used with dBase). Other
+optional fields held in this class are and file type, both for future
+functions planned to be added for creating/manipulating datasource definitions.
+
+\membersection{wxDbConnectInf::wxDbConnectInf}\label{wxdbconnectinfctor}
+
+\func{}{wxDbConnectInf}{\void}
+
+Default constructor.

+\param{const wxString \&}{userID=""}, \param{const wxString \&}{password},
+\param{const wxString \&}{defaultDir=""}, \param{const wxString \&}{description=""},
+\param{const wxString \&}{fileType=""}}
+
+Constructor which allows initial settings of all the classes member variables.
+
+See the special note below on the henv parameter for forcing this constructor
+to create a SQL environment handle automatically, rather than needing to pass
+one in to the function.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{henv}{Environment handle used for this connection. See\rtfsp
+\helpref{wxDConnectInf::AllocHenv}{wxdbconnectinfallochenv} for how to create
+an SQL environment handle. NOTE: Passing in a NULL for this parameter will
+inform the constructor that it should create its own SQL environment handle.
+If NULL is passed for this parameter, the constructor will call\rtfsp
+\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}\rtfsp
+to free the environment handle automatically.}
+\docparam{dsn}{Name of the datasource to be used in creating wxDb instances
+for creating connection(s) to a datasource.}
+\docparam{userID}{{\it OPTIONAL} Many datasources allow (or even require)
+use of a username to determine privileges that connecting user is allowed
+to have when accessing the datasource or the data tables. Default is "".}
+\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
+path to where the data file is stored to be specified. dBase is one example
+of the type of datasource which requires this information. Default is "".}
+\docparam{description}{{\it OPTIONAL} {\bf FUTURE USE} Default is "".}
+\docparam{fileType}{{\it OPTIONAL} {\bf FUTURE USE} Default is "".}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+It is strongly recommended that programs use the longer form of the
+constructor and allow the constructor to create the SQL environment handle
+automatically, and manage the destruction of the handle.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxDbConnectInf *DbConnectInf;
+

+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+If the SQL environment handle was created using the long form of the\rtfsp
+\helpref{wxDbConnectInf}{wxdbconnectinf} constructor, then the flag indicating
+that the HENV should be destroyed when the classes destructor is called
+is reset to be false, so that any future handles created using the\rtfsp

+
+\func{void}{BuildSelectStmt}{\param{wxString \&}{pWhereClause},
+\param{int }{typeOfWhere}, \param{const wxString \&}{qualTableName=""},
+\param{bool }{useLikeComparison=false}}
+
+Constructs the portion of a SQL statement which would follow the word 'WHERE'
+in a SQL statement to be passed to the datasource. The returned string
+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
+DB\_MAX\_STATEMENT\_LEN bytes.}
+\docparam{typeOfWhere}{The type of where clause to generate. Can be one of
+two values: DB\_WHERE\_KEYFIELDS or DB\_WHERE\_MATCHING.}
+\docparam{qualTableName}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Prepended to all base table
+column names. For use when a FROM clause has been specified with the
+\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.CanUpdateByROWID())
+ {
+ // Note that the ROWID column must always be the last column selected
+ sqlStmt = "SELECT PART_NUM, PART_DESC, ROWID" FROM PARTS";
+ }
+ else
+ sqlStmt = "SELECT PART_NUM, PART_DESC FROM PARTS";
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::ClearMemberVar}\label{wxdbtableclearmembervar}
+
+\func{void}{ClearMemberVar}{\param{UWORD }{colNumber}, \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{colNumber}{Column number that is to be cleared. This number (between 0
+and (numColumns-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;

+
+ // 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.

+\membersection{wxDbTable::CreateIndex}\label{wxdbtablecreateindex}
+
+\func{bool}{CreateIndex}{\param{const wxString \&}{IndexName}, \param{bool }{unique},
+\param{UWORD }{numIndexColumns}, \param{wxDbIndexDef *}{pIndexDefs},
+\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{IndexName}{Name of the Index. Name must be unique within the table
+space of the datasource.}
+\docparam{unique}{Indicates if this index is unique.}
+\docparam{numIndexColumns}{Number of columns in the index.}
+\docparam{pIndexDefs}{A pointer to an array wxDbIndexDef 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\_Index1). 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 'pIndexDefs' parameter.
+
+The fourth parameter specifies which columns make up the index using the
+wxDbIndexDef 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 wxDbIndexDef 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
+ wxDbIndexDef IndexDef[2]; // 2 columns make up the index
+
+ wxStrcpy(IndexDef[0].ColName, "PART_DESC"); // Column 1
+ IndexDef[0].Ascending = true;
+
+ wxStrcpy(IndexDef[1].ColName, "SERIAL_NO"); // Column 2
+ IndexDef[1].Ascending = false;
+
+ // Create a name for the index based on the table's name
+ wxString indexName;
+ indexName.Printf("%s_Index1",parts->GetTableName());
+ parts->CreateIndex(indexName, true, 2, IndexDef);
+\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{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
+\item Clear all "columns" using wxDbTable::ClearMemberVars().
+\item Set the FIRST\_NAME column equal to "JOHN".
+\item Call wxDbTable::DeleteMatching().
+\end{enumerate}
+
+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 \

+\membersection{wxDbTable::DropIndex}\label{wxdbtabledropindex}
+
+\func{bool}{DropIndex}{\param{const wxString \&}{IndexName}}
+
+Allows an index on the associated table to be dropped (deleted) if the user
+login has sufficient privileges to do so.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{IndexName}{Name of the index to be dropped.}
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+If the index specified in the 'IndexName' 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

+
+\func{HSTMT}{GetCursor}{\void}
+
+Returns the HSTMT value of the current cursor for this wxDbTable object.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}

+
+\membersection{wxDbTable::GetFirst}\label{wxdbtablegetfirst}
+
+\func{bool}{GetFirst}{\void}
+
+Retrieves the FIRST row in the record set as defined by the current query.

+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{colNumber}{The column number of the bound column as defined by the

+\membersection{wxDbTable::IsCursorClosedOnCommit}\label{wxdbtableiscursorclosedoncommit}
+
+\func{bool }{IsCursorClosedOnCommit}{\void}
+
+Accessor function to return information collected during the opening of the

+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.
+
+NOTE: To retrieve data into an opened table, the of the table must be bound
+to the variables in the program via call(s) to
+\helpref{wxDbTable::SetColDefs}{wxdbtablesetcoldefs} before calling Open().
+
+See the \helpref{database classes overview}{odbcoverview} for
+an introduction to using the ODBC classes.
+
+\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
+sufficient 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.

+\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{enumerate}
+\item 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.
+\item The columns must be returned in the same sequence as specified
+when defining the bounds columns \helpref{wxDbTable::SetColDefs}{wxdbtablesetcoldefs},
+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%).
+\item The ROWID can be included in your SELECT statement as the {\bf last}
+column selected, if the datasource supports it. Use
+wxDbTable::CanUpdateByROWID() 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{enumerate}
+
+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}.
+
+\wxheading{Example}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // Incomplete code samples
+ wxString sqlStmt;
+ sqlStmt = "SELECT * FROM PARTS WHERE STORAGE_DEVICE = 'SD98' \
+ AND CONTAINER = 12";
+ // Query the records using the SQL SELECT statement above
+ parts->QueryBySqlStmt(sqlStmt);
+ // Display all records queried
+ while(parts->GetNext())
+ dispPart(&parts);
+
+ Example SQL statements
+ ----------------------
+
+ // Table Join returning 3 columns
+ SELECT PART_NUM, part_desc, sd_name
+ from parts, storage_devices
+ where parts.storage_device_id =
+ storage_devices.storage_device_id
+
+ // Aggregate function returning total number of
+ // parts in container 99
+ SELECT count(*) from PARTS where container = 99
+
+ // Order by clause; ROWID, scalar function
+ SELECT PART_NUM, substring(part_desc, 1, 10), qty_on_hand + 1, ROWID
+ from parts
+ where warehouse = 10
+ order by PART_NUM desc // descending order

+\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

+
+\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

+\docparam{updateable}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Are updates allowed on this column?
+Default is true.}
+\docparam{insertAllowed}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Inserts allowed on this column?
+Default is true.}
+\docparam{derivedColumn}{{\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}.
+
+Using the first form of this function, if the column definition is not able
+to be created, a value of false is returned. If the specified index of the
+column exceeds the number of columns defined in the wxDbTable instance, an
+assert is thrown and logged (in debug builds) and a false is returned.
+
+A failure to create the column definition in the second form results in a
+value of NULL being returned.
+
+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}

+
+\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.

+
+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

+
+Both forms of this function allow a member variable representing a column
+in the table associated with this wxDbTable object to be set to NULL.
+
+The first form allows the column to be set by the index into the column
+definitions used to create the wxDbTable instance, while the second allows

+\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.
+
+The second form of the function allows full access through SQL statements for
+updating records in the database. Write any valid SQL UPDATE statement and
+submit it to this function for execution. Sophisticated updates can be
+performed using the full power of the SQL dialect. The full SQL statement

+
+\section{\class{wxDbGridTableBase}}\label{wxdbgridtablebase}
+
+You can view a database table in a grid using this class.
+
+If you are deriving your own wxDbTable subclass for your table , then you may consider
+overriding GetCol() and SetCol() to provide calculated fields. This does work but care should
+be taken when using wxDbGridTableBase in this way.
+
+The constructor and AssignDbTable() call allows you to specify the ownership if the wxDbTable
+object pointer. If you tell wxGridTableBase to take ownership , it will delete the passed wxDbTable
+when an new on is assigned or wxGridTableBase's destructor is called.
+However no checks for aliasing are done so Assign(table,..,true); Assign(table,..,true);
+is an error. If you need to requery an table object the preferred way is
+that the client keeps ownership.
