Detailed Description

Result set containing data returned by a query or command.

This behaves as a container (as defined by the C++ standard library) and provides random access const iterators to iterate over its rows. You can also access a row by indexing a result R by the row's zero-based number:

• ```cxx for (result::size_type i=0; i < std::size(R); ++i) Process(R[i]);

• ```

  Result sets in libpqxx are lightweight, reference-counted wrapper objects which are relatively small and cheap to copy. Think of a result object as a "smart pointer" to an underlying result set.

  Warning

  The result set that a result object points to is not thread-safe. If you copy a result object, it still refers to the same underlying result set. So never copy, destroy, query, or otherwise access a result while another thread may be copying, destroying, querying, or otherwise accessing the same result set–even if it is doing so through a different result object!

Member Function Documentation

pqxx::result::size_type pqxx::result::affected_rows

(

)

const

If command was INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE: number of affected rows.

Returns

Number of affected rows if last command was INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE; zero for all other commands.

pqxx::row pqxx::result::at

(

size_type

i

)

const

Index a row by number, but check that the row number is valid.

pqxx::field pqxx::result::at	(	size_type	row_num,
		pqxx::row_size_type	col_num
	)		const

Index a field by row number and column number.

void pqxx::result::clear ( )

inlinenoexcept

Let go of the result's data.

Use this if you need to deallocate the result data earlier than you can destroy the result object itself.

Multiple result objects can refer to the same set of underlying data. The underlying data will be deallocated once all result objects that refer to it are cleared or destroyed.

char const * pqxx::result::column_name

(

row_size_type

number

)

const

Name of column with this number (throws exception if it doesn't exist)

pqxx::row::size_type pqxx::result::column_number

(

zview

name

)

const

Number of given column (throws exception if it doesn't exist).

int pqxx::result::column_storage

(

row_size_type

number

)

const

Server-side storage size for field of column's type, in bytes.

Returns the size of the server's internal representation of the column's data type. A negative value indicates the data type is variable-length.

pqxx::oid pqxx::result::column_table

(

row_size_type

col_num

)

const

What table did this column come from?

oid pqxx::result::column_table ( zview  col_name ) const

inline

What table did this column come from?

pqxx::oid pqxx::result::column_type

(

row_size_type

col_num

)

const

Return column's type, as an OID from the system catalogue.

oid pqxx::result::column_type ( zview  col_name ) const

inline

Return column's type, as an OID from the system catalogue.

int pqxx::result::column_type_modifier ( row_size_type  number ) const

noexcept

Type modifier of the column with this number.

The meaning of modifier values is type-specific; they typically indicate precision or size limits.

Use this only if you know what you're doing. Most applications do not need it, and most types do not use modifiers.

The value -1 indicates "no information available."

Warning

There is no check for errors, such as an invalid column number.

pqxx::row::size_type pqxx::result::columns ( ) const

noexcept

Number of columns in result.

pqxx::result::const_reverse_iterator pqxx::result::crbegin

(

)

const

pqxx::result::const_reverse_iterator pqxx::result::crend

(

)

const

bool pqxx::result::empty ( ) const

noexcept

const_result_iterator pqxx::result::end ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

result pqxx::result::expect_columns ( row_size_type  cols ) const

inline

Expect that result consists of exactly cols columns.

Returns

The result itself, for convenience.

Exceptions

result pqxx::result::expect_rows ( size_type  n ) const

inline

Check that result contains exactly n rows.

Returns

The result itself, for convenience.

Exceptions

template<typename CALLABLE >

void pqxx::result::for_each ( CALLABLE &&  func ) const

inline

Run func on each row, passing the row's fields as parameters.

Goes through the rows from first to last. You provide a callable func.

For each row in the result, for_each will call func. It converts the row's fields to the types of func's parameters, and pass them to func.

(Therefore func must have a single signature. It can't be a generic lambda, or an object of a class with multiple overloaded function call operators. Otherwise, for_each will have no way to detect a parameter list without ambiguity.)

If any of your parameter types is std::string_view, it refers to the underlying storage of this result.

If any of your parameter types is a reference type, its argument will refer to a temporary value which only lives for the duration of that single invocation to func. If the reference is an lvalue reference, it must be const.

For example, this queries employee names and salaries from the database and prints how much each would like to earn instead:

• ```cxx tx.exec("SELECT name, salary FROM employee").for_each( [](std::string_view name, float salary){ std::cout << name << " would like " << salary * 2 << ".\n"; })

• ```

  If func throws an exception, processing stops at that point and propagates the exception.

  Exceptions

  pqxx::usage_error

  if func's number of parameters does not match the number of columns in this result.

  The parameter types must have conversions from PostgreSQL's string format defined; see Supporting additional data types.

pqxx::result::reference pqxx::result::front ( ) const

noexcept

pqxx::oid pqxx::result::inserted_oid

(

)

const

If command was an INSERT of 1 row, return oid of the inserted row.

Returns

Identifier of inserted row if exactly one row was inserted, or oid_none otherwise.

template<typename... TYPE>

auto pqxx::result::iter ( ) const

inline

Iterate rows, reading them directly into a tuple of "TYPE...".

Converts the fields to values of the given respective types.

Use this only with a ranged "for" loop. The iteration produces std::tuple<TYPE...> which you can "unpack" to a series of auto variables.

result pqxx::result::no_rows ( ) const

inline

Expect that result contains no rows. Return result for convenience.

pqxx::field pqxx::result::one_field

(

)

const

Expect that result consists of exactly 1 row and 1 column.

Returns

The one pqxx::field in the result.

Exceptions

pqxx::row pqxx::result::one_row

(

)

const

Check that result contains exactly 1 row, and return that row.

Returns

pqxx::row

Exceptions

bool pqxx::result::operator!= ( result const &  rhs ) const

inlinenoexcept

Compare two results for inequality.

result& pqxx::result::operator= ( result const &  rhs )

defaultnoexcept

Assign one result to another.

Copying results is cheap: it copies only smart pointers, but the actual data stays in the same place.

result& pqxx::result::operator= ( result &&  rhs )

defaultnoexcept

Assign one result to another, invaliding the old one.

bool pqxx::result::operator== ( result const &  rhs ) const

noexcept

Compare two results for equality.

pqxx::row pqxx::result::operator[] ( size_type  i ) const

noexcept

Index a row by number.

This returns a row object. Generally you should not keep the row around as a variable, but if you do, make sure that your variable is a row, not a row&.

std::optional< pqxx::row > pqxx::result::opt_row

(

)

const

Expect that result contains at moost one row, and return as optional.

Returns an empty std::optional if the result is empty, or if it has exactly one row, a std::optional containing the row.

Exceptions

std::string const & pqxx::result::query ( ) const

noexcept

Query that produced this result, if available (empty string otherwise)

pqxx::result::const_reverse_iterator pqxx::result::rbegin

(

)

const

pqxx::result::const_reverse_iterator pqxx::result::rend

(

)

const

pqxx::result::size_type pqxx::result::size ( ) const

noexcept

void pqxx::result::swap ( result &  rhs )

noexcept

Exchange two result values in an exception-safe manner.

If the swap fails, the two values will be exactly as they were before.

The swap is not necessarily thread-safe.

pqxx::row::size_type pqxx::result::table_column

(

row_size_type

col_num

)

const

What column in its table did this column come from?

row_size_type pqxx::result::table_column ( zview  col_name ) const

inline

What column in its table did this column come from?
