Struct odbc_api::handles::Connection

pub struct Connection<'c> { /* fields omitted */ }

The connection handle references storage of all information about the connection to the data source, including status, transaction state, and error information.

Implementations

impl<'c> Connection<'c>

pub unsafe fn new(handle: HDbc) -> Self

Safety

Call this method only with a valid (successfully allocated) ODBC connection handle.

pub fn connect(
    &mut self,
    data_source_name: &U16Str,
    user: &U16Str,
    pwd: &U16Str
) -> Result<(), Error>

Establishes connections to a driver and a data source.

• See Connecting with SQLConnect
• See SQLConnectFunction

Arguments

• data_source_name - Data source name. The data might be located on the same computer as the program, or on another computer somewhere on a network.
• user - User identifier.
• pwd - Authentication string (typically the password).

pub fn connect_with_connection_string(
    &mut self,
    connection_string: &U16Str
) -> Result<(), Error>

An alternative to connect. It supports data sources that require more connection information than the three arguments in connect and data sources that are not defined in the system information.

pub unsafe fn driver_connect(
    &mut self,
    connection_string: &U16Str,
    parent_window: HWnd,
    completed_connection_string: Option<&mut OutputStringBuffer>,
    driver_completion: DriverConnectOption
) -> Result<(), Error>

An alternative to connect for connecting with a connection string. Allows for completing a connection string with a GUI prompt on windows.

Safety

parent_window must either be a valid window handle or NULL.

pub fn disconnect(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error>

Disconnect from an ODBC data source.

pub fn allocate_statement(&self) -> Result<StatementImpl<'_>, Error>

Allocate a new statement handle. The Statement must not outlive the Connection.

pub fn set_autocommit(&self, enabled: bool) -> Result<(), Error>

Specify the transaction mode. By default, ODBC transactions are in auto-commit mode (unless SQLSetConnectAttr and SQLSetConnectOption are not supported, which is unlikely). Switching from manual-commit mode to auto-commit mode automatically commits any open transaction on the connection.

pub fn commit(&self) -> Result<(), Error>

To commit a transaction in manual-commit mode.

pub fn rollback(&self) -> Result<(), Error>

Roll back a transaction in manual-commit mode.

pub fn fetch_database_management_system_name(
    &self,
    buf: &mut Vec<u16>
) -> Result<(), Error>

Fetch the name of the database management system used by the connection and store it into the provided buf.

pub fn max_catalog_name_len(&self) -> Result<u16, Error>

Maximum length of catalog names in bytes.

pub fn max_schema_name_len(&self) -> Result<u16, Error>

Maximum length of schema names in bytes.

pub fn max_table_name_len(&self) -> Result<u16, Error>

Maximum length of table names in bytes.

pub fn max_column_name_len(&self) -> Result<u16, Error>

Maximum length of column names in bytes.

pub fn fetch_current_catalog(&self, buf: &mut Vec<u16>) -> Result<(), Error>

Fetch the name of the current catalog being usd by the connection and store it into the provided buf.

pub fn is_dead(&self) -> Result<bool, Error>

Indicates the state of the connection. If true the connection has been lost. If false, the connection is still active.

pub fn columns(
    &self,
    statement: StatementImpl<'c>,
    catalog_name: &U16Str,
    schema_name: &U16Str,
    table_name: &U16Str,
    column_name: &U16Str
) -> Result<Option<CursorImpl<'c, StatementImpl<'c>>>, Error>

Query all columns that match the provided catalog name, schema pattern, table pattern, and column pattern.

pub fn columns_buffer_description(
    &self,
    type_name_max_len: usize,
    remarks_max_len: usize,
    column_default_max_len: usize
) -> Result<Vec<BufferDescription>, Error>

The buffer descriptions for all standard buffers (not including extensions) returned in the columns query (e.g. Connection::columns).

Arguments

• type_name_max_len - The maximum expected length of type names.
• remarks_max_len - The maximum expected length of remarks.
• column_default_max_len - The maximum expected length of column defaults.

Trait Implementations

impl<'c> AsHandle for Connection<'c>

fn as_handle(&self) -> Handle

The raw underlying ODBC handle used to talk to the ODBC C API. The handle must be valid.

fn handle_type(&self) -> HandleType

The type of the ODBC handle returned by as_handle.

impl<'c> Drop for Connection<'c>

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
