## Description

The methods mentioned in this section are reserved for database providers implementations and should not bu used by developers outside that scope.

## Details

### gda_server_operation_new ()

Adds an event to the given connection. This function is usually called by providers, to inform clients of events that happened during some operation.

As soon as a provider (or a client, it does not matter) calls this function with an `event` object which is an error, the connection object emits the "error" signal, to which clients can connect to be informed of events.

WARNING: the reference to the `event` object is stolen by this function!

`cnc` : | a GdaConnection object.
`event` : | is stored internally, so you don't need to unref it. [transfer full]

Adds a new error to the given connection object. This is just a convenience function that simply creates a GdaConnectionEvent and then calls gda_server_connection_add_error.

`cnc` : | a GdaConnection object.
`str` : | a format string (see the printf(3) documentation).
`...` : | the arguments to insert in the error message.
Returns : | a new GdaConnectionEvent object, however the caller does not hold a reference to the returned object, and if need be the caller must call `g_object_ref()` on it. [transfer none]

### gda_connection_clear_events_list ()

    void                gda_connection_clear_events_list    (GdaConnection *cnc);

This function lets you clear the list of GdaConnectionEvent's of the given connection.

`cnc` : | a GdaConnection object.

### gda_connection_event_new ()

    GdaConnectionEvent * gda_connection_event_new           (GdaConnectionEventType type);

Sets `event`'s code: the code is specific to the provider being used. If you want to have a common understanding of the event codes, use `gda_connection_event_get_gda_code()` instead.

This function should not be called directly

`event` : | a GdaConnectionEvent.
`code` : | a code.

### gda_connection_event_set_gda_code ()

Sets `event`'s gda code: that code is standardized by the libgda library. If you want to specify the corresponding provider specific code, use `gda_connection_event_get_code()` or `gda_connection_event_get_sqlstate()` instead.

This function should not be called directly

`event` : | a GdaConnectionEvent
`code` : | a code

### gda_connection_event_set_source ()

Declares that `prepared_stmt` is a prepared statement object associated to `gda_stmt` within the connection (meaning the connection increments the reference counter of `prepared_stmt`).

If `gda_stmt` changes or is destroyed, the the association will be lost and the connection will lose the reference it has on `prepared_stmt`.

`gda_stmt` : | a GdaStatement object
Returns : | the prepared statement, or `NULL` if no association exists. [transfer none]

Propagates an update to `store`, the update's contents is represented by `new_data`, this function is primarily reserved to database providers.

For example tell `store` to update its list of tables, `new_data` should contain the same columns as the "_tables" table of `store`, and contain one row per table in the store; there should not be any more argument after the `error` argument.

Now, to update only one table, the `new_data` data model should have one row for the table to update (or no row at all if the table does not exist anymore), and have values for the primary key of the "_tables" table of `store`, namely "table_catalog", "table_schema" and "table_name".

`store` : | a GdaMetaStore object
`table_name` : | the name of the table to modify within `store`
`new_data` : | a GdaDataModel containing the new data to set in `table_name`, or `NULL` (treated as a data model with no row at all). [allow-none]

`error` : | a place to store errors, or `NULL`. [allow-none]

Rewrites `stmt` and creates a new GdaSqlStatement where all the variables which are to a DEFAULT value (as returned by `gda_holder_value_is_default()`) are either removed from the statement (if `remove` is `TRUE`) or replaced by the "DEFAULT" keyword (if `remove` is `FALSE`).

This function is only usefull for database providers' implementations which have to deal with default values when executing statements, and is only relevant in the case of INSERT or UPDATE statements (in the latter case an error is returned if `remove` is `TRUE`).

For example the

    INSERT INTO mytable (id, name) VALUES (23, ##name::string)

is re-written into

    INSERT INTO mytable (id, name) VALUES (23, DEFAULT)

if `remove` is `FALSE` and into

    INSERT INTO mytable (id) VALUES (23)

if `remove` is `TRUE`.

`stmt` : | a GdaStatement object
`params` : | a GdaSet containing the variable's values to be bound when executing `stmt`
`remove` : | set to `TRUE` if DEFAULT fields are removed, of `FALSE` if the "DEFAULT" keyword is used
`error` : | a place to store errors, or `NULL`
Returns : | a new GdaSqlStatement, or `NULL` if an error occurred
