GnomeDbReferer is implemented by GnomeDbQfAll, GnomeDbQfValue, GnomeDbTarget, GnomeDbQuery, GnomeDbParameter, GnomeDbCondition, GnomeDbConstraint, GnomeDbQfFunc, GnomeDbQfAgg, GnomeDbJoin and GnomeDbQfField.

Some objects can be initialized in an uncomplete state. This is the case for example of a primary key database constraint, when we don't know, at creation time, which field it applies to. These objects implement this interface to at least signal when they are ready to be used.
Some objects need to be created _before_ other objects they will need to be operational even exist. They also implement this interface.
gboolean gnome_db_referer_activate (GnomeDbReferer *iface);
Tries to activate the object, does nothing if the object is already active.
iface : |
an object which implements the GnomeDbReferer interface |
Returns : | TRUE if the object is active after the call |
void gnome_db_referer_deactivate (GnomeDbReferer *iface);
Deactivates the object. This is the opposite to function gnome_db_referer_activate()
.
If the object is already non active, then nothing happens.
iface : |
an object which implements the GnomeDbReferer interface |
gboolean gnome_db_referer_is_active (GnomeDbReferer *iface);
Get the status of an object
iface : |
an object which implements the GnomeDbReferer interface |
Returns : | TRUE if the object is active |
GSList* gnome_db_referer_get_ref_objects (GnomeDbReferer *iface);
Get the list of objects which are referenced by iface
. The returned list is a
new list. If iface
is not active, then the returned list is incomplete.
iface : |
an object which implements the GnomeDbReferer interface |
Returns : | a new list of referenced objects |
void gnome_db_referer_replace_refs (GnomeDbReferer *iface, GHashTable *replacements);
Ask iface
to replace references to objects listed as keys in the replacements
hash table
with references to objects of the corresponding value.
It's up to the caller to make sure each pair of (key, value) objects in replacements
are of the
same type, and that it makes sense to procede to the replacement.
The object implementing this interface will accept to do any work only if it is already active.
iface : |
an object which implements the GnomeDbReferer interface |
replacements : |
a GHashTable |
void user_function (GnomeDbReferer *dbreferer, gpointer user_data) : Run first
dbreferer : |
the object which received the signal. |
user_data : |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
void user_function (GnomeDbReferer *dbreferer, gpointer user_data) : Run first
dbreferer : |
the object which received the signal. |
user_data : |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
