computing: software: programming: Gambas: gb.db.Connection

Overview

The gb.db.Connection class provides an interface to a particular database engine connection. It is similar to the Connection interface in ADO.

Usage

To connect to a database server: create a connection object, fill the needed properties, and call the Open method.

For SQLite connections, the following algorithm is used:

  • If Name is null, then a memory database is opened.
  • If Name is an absolute path, then this path is used.
  • If Name is a relative path, then:
    • If Host is null, then the database is located in the application temporary directory, which is /tmp/gambas.$UID/sqlite .
    • Otherwise, Host gives the database directory, and the database path is the result of concatenating Host and Name.

This class is creatable:

DIM hConnection AS Connection
hConnection = NEW Connection ( )
