RefAny Class

The RefAny class is designed to support a reference to any type. Its primary purpose is to handle generic references and allow conversions of Ref in the type hierarchy. A RefAny object can be used as an intermediary between any two types, Ref<x> and Ref<y>, where x and y are different types.

RefAny()

A Ref<T> can always be converted to a RefAny; there is a method to perform the conversion in the Ref<T> template. Each Ref<T> has a constructor and assignment operator that takes a reference to RefAny.

RefAny();

RefAny(
   const Connection *sessptr,
   const OCIRef *ref);

RefAny(
   const RefAny& src);

sessptr

ref

src

clear()

This method clears the reference.

void clear();

getConnection()

Returns the connection from which this reference was instantiated.

const Connection* getConnection() const;

getUString()

Returns UString object at the current position of the RefAny object; globalization enabled.

UString getUString() const;
   const UString &str);

isNull()

Returns TRUE if the object pointed to by this ref is NULL else FALSE.

bool isNull() const;

markDelete()

This method marks the referred object as deleted.

void markDelete();

operator=()

Assigns the ref or the object to a ref. For the first case, the refs are assigned and for the second case, the ref is constructed from the object and then assigned.

RefAny& operator=(
   const RefAny& src);

src

operator==()

Compares this ref with a RefAny object and returns TRUE if both the refs are referring to the same object in the cache, otherwise it returns FALSE.

bool operator== (
   const RefAny &refAnyR) const;

refAnyR

operator!=()

Compares this ref with the RefAny object and returns TRUE if both the refs are not referring to the same object in the cache, otherwise it returns FALSE.

bool operator!= (
   const RefAny &refAnyR) const;

refAnyR

setObject()

Set the value of a parameter using an object; use the C++.lang equivalent objects for integral values. The OCCI specification specifies a standard mapping from C++ Object types to SQL types. The given parameter C++ object will be converted to the corresponding SQL type before being sent to the database.

void setObject(
   cosnt PObject *objptr,
   const string &sqltyp);

void setObject(
   PObject* objptr,
   const USting &sqltyp);

paramIndex

val

sqltyp

setUString()

Set a the given UString in the RefAny object; globalization enabled.

void setUString(
   const UString &str);

str

unmarkDelete()

This method unmarks the referred object as dirty.

void unmarkDelete();
