\section{\class{wxDb}}\label{wxdb}

A wxDb instance is a connection to an ODBC data source which may
be opened, closed, and re-opened an unlimited number of times.  A
database connection allows function to be performed directly on the
data source, as well as allowing access to any tables/views defined in
the data source to which the user has sufficient privileges.

\wxheading{Include files}

<wx/db.h>

\wxheading{Helper classes and data structures}

The following classes and structs are defined in db.cpp/.h for use with the wxDb class.

\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item \helpref{wxDbColFor}{wxdbcolfor}
\item \helpref{wxDbColInf}{wxdbcolinf}
\item \helpref{wxDbTableInf}{wxdbtableinf}
\item \helpref{wxDbInf}{wxdbinf}
\end{itemize}

\wxheading{Constants}

NOTE: In a future release, all ODBC class constants will be prefaced with 'wx'

\begin{verbatim}

    wxDB_PATH_MAX           Maximum path length allowed to be passed to the ODBC
                            driver to indicate where the data file is located.

    DB_MAX_COLUMN_NAME_LEN  Maximum supported length for the name of a column

    DB_MAX_ERROR_HISTORY    Maximum number of error messages retained in the
                            queue before being overwritten by new errors.

    DB_MAX_ERROR_MSG_LEN    Maximum supported length of an error message returned 
                            by the ODBC classes

    DB_MAX_STATEMENT_LEN    Maximum supported length for a complete SQL statement
                            to be passed to the ODBC driver

    DB_MAX_TABLE_NAME_LEN   Maximum supported length for the name of a table

    DB_MAX_WHERE_CLAUSE_LEN Maximum supported WHERE clause length that can be 
                            passed to the ODBC driver

    DB_TYPE_NAME_LEN        Maximum length of the name of a column's data type
\end{verbatim}


\wxheading{Enumerated types}

\docparam{enum {\bf wxDbSqlLogState}}{sqlLogOFF, sqlLogON}

{\it enum {\bf wxDBMS}}

These are the databases currently tested and working with the ODBC classes.  A call to \helpref{wxDb::Dbms}{wxdbdbms} will return one of these enumerated values listed below.

\begin{verbatim}
      dbmsUNIDENTIFIED,
      dbmsORACLE,
      dbmsSYBASE_ASA,     // Adaptive Server Anywhere
      dbmsSYBASE_ASE,     // Adaptive Server Enterprise
      dbmsMS_SQL_SERVER,
      dbmsMY_SQL,
      dbmsPOSTGRES,
      dbmsACCESS,
      dbmsDBASE,
      dbmsINFORMIX
\end{verbatim}

See the remarks in \helpref{wxDb::Dbms}{wxdbdbms} for exceptions/issues with each of these database engines.

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}

\membersection{wxDb::wxDb}\label{wxdbconstr}

\func{}{wxDb}{\void}

Default constructor.

\func{}{wxDb}{\param{HENV\& }{aHenv}, \param{bool }{FwdOnlyCursors=(bool)wxODBC_FWD_ONLY_CURSORS}}

Constructor, used to create an ODBC connection to a data source.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{aHenv}{Environment handle used for this connection.}

\docparam{FwdOnlyCursors}{Will cursors created for use with this datasource connection only allow forward scrolling cursors.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

This is the constructor for the wxDb class.  The wxDb object must
be created and opened before any database activity can occur.

\wxheading{Example}

\begin{verbatim}
   wxDbConnectInf ConnectInf;
   ....Set values for member variables of ConnectInf here

   wxDb sampleDB(ConnectInf.Henv);
   if (!sampleDB.Open(ConnectInf.Dsn, ConnectInf.Uid, ConnectInf.AuthStr))
   {
      // Error opening data source
   }
\end{verbatim}


\membersection{wxDb::Catalog}\label{wxdbcatalog}

\func{bool}{Catalog}{\param{char *}{ userID}, \param{char *}{fileName = SQL_CATALOG_FILENAME}}

Allows a data "dictionary" of the data source to be created, dumping pertinent information about all data tables to which the user specified in userID has access. 

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{userID}{Database user name to use in accessing the database.  All tables to which this user has rights will be evaluated in the catalog.}

\docparam{fileName}{OPTIONAL argument.  Name of the text file to create and write the DB catalog to.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns TRUE if the catalog request was successful, of FALSE if there was some reason the catalog could not be generated

\wxheading{Example}

\begin{verbatim}
============== ============== ================ ========= =======
TABLE NAME     COLUMN NAME    DATA TYPE        PRECISION  LENGTH
============== ============== ================ ========= =======
EMPLOYEE       RECID          (0008)NUMBER            15       8
EMPLOYEE       USER_ID        (0012)VARCHAR2          13      13
EMPLOYEE       FULL_NAME      (0012)VARCHAR2          26      26
EMPLOYEE       PASSWORD       (0012)VARCHAR2          26      26
EMPLOYEE       START_DATE     (0011)DATE              19      16
\end{verbatim}


\membersection{wxDb::Close}\label{wxdbclose}

\func{void}{Close}{\void}

Closes the database connection.

\wxheading{Remarks}

At the end of your program, when you have finished all of your database work, you must close the ODBC connection to the data source.  There are actually four steps involved in doing this as illustrated in the example.  

Any wxDbTable instances which use this connection must be deleted before closing the database connection.

\wxheading{Example}

\begin{verbatim}
   // Commit any open transactions on the data source
   sampleDB.CommitTrans();

   // Delete any remaining wxDbTable objects allocated with new
   delete parts;

   // Close the wxDb connection when finished with it
   sampleDB.Close();

   // Free Environment Handle that ODBC uses
   if (SQLFreeEnv(Db.Henv) != SQL_SUCCESS)
   {
      // Error freeing environment handle
   }
\end{verbatim}


\membersection{wxDb::CommitTrans}\label{wxdbcommittrans}

\func{bool}{CommitTrans}{\void}

Permanently "commits" changes (insertions/deletions/updates) to the database.  

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns TRUE if the commit was successful, or FALSE if the commit failed.

\wxheading{Remarks}

Transactions begin implicitly as soon as you make a change to the database.  At any time thereafter, you can save your work to the database ("Commit") or roll back all of your changes  ("Rollback").  Calling this member function commits all open transactions on this ODBC connection.

\wxheading{Special Note : {\it Cursors} }

\normalbox{It is important to understand that different database/ODBC driver combinations handle
transactions differently.  One thing in particular that you must pay attention to is
cursors, in regard to transactions.  Cursors are what allow you to scroll through
records forward and backward and to manipulate records as you scroll through them.
When you issue a query, a cursor is created behind the scenes.  The cursor keeps track
of the query and keeps track of the current record pointer.  After you commit or
rollback a transaction, the cursor may be closed automatically.  This means you must
requery the data source before you can perform any additional work against the wxDbTable
object.  This is only necessary however if the data source closes the cursor after a
commit or rollback.  Use the wxDbTable::IsCursorClosedOnCommit() member function to
determine the data source's transaction behavior.  Note, it would be very inefficient
to just assume the data source closes the cursor and always requery.  This could put
a significant, unnecessary load on data sources that leave the cursors open after a
transaction.}


\membersection{wxDb::CreateView}\label{wxdbcreateviews}

\func{bool}{CreateView}{\param{char *}{ viewName}, \param{char *}{ colList}, \param{char *}{pSqlStmt}}

Creates a SQL VIEW.  

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{viewName}{The name of the view.  e.g. PARTS_V}

\docparam{colList}{{\it OPTIONAL} Pass in a comma delimited list of column names if you wish to explicitly name each column in the result set.  If not desired, pass in an empty string.}

\docparam{pSqlStmt}{Pointer to the select statement portion of the CREATE VIEW statement.  Must be a complete, valid SQL SELECT statement.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

A 'view' is a logical table that derives columns from one or more other tables or views.  Once the view is created, it can be queried exactly like any other table in the database.

NOTE: Views are not available with all datasources.  Oracle is one example of a datasouce which does support views.

\wxheading{Example}

\begin{verbatim}
   // Incomplete code sample
   db.CreateView("PARTS_SD1", "PN, PD, QTY",  
                 "SELECT PART_NO, PART_DESC, QTY_ON_HAND * 1.1 FROM PARTS \
                  WHERE STORAGE_DEVICE = 1");

   // PARTS_SD1 can now be queried just as if it were a data table.
   // e.g. SELECT PN, PD, QTY FROM PARTS_SD1
\end{verbatim}


\membersection{wxDb::DispAllErrors}\label{wxdbdispallerrors}

\func{bool}{DispAllErrors}{\param{HENV}{ aHenv}, {\param}{HDBC}{ aHdbc = SQL_NULL_HDBC}, {\param}{HSTMT}{ aHstmt = SQL_NULL_HSTMT}}

Logs all database errors that occurred as a result of the last executed database command.  This logging also includes debug logging when compiled in debug mode via \helpref{wxLogDebug}{wxlogdebug}.  If logging is turned on via \helpref{wxDb::SetSqlLogging}{wxdbsetsqllogging}, then an entry is also logged to the defined log file.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{aHenv}{A handle to the ODBC environment.}

\docparam{aHdbc}{A handle to the ODBC connection.  Pass this in if the ODBC function call that erred out required a hdbc or hstmt argument.}

\docparam{AHstmt}{A handle to the ODBC statement being executed against.  Pass this in if the ODBC function call  that erred out required a hstmt argument.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

This member function will display all of the ODBC error messages for the last ODBC function call that was made.  Normally used internally within the ODBC class library.  Would be used externally if calling ODBC functions directly (i.e. SQLFreeEnv()).

\wxheading{See also}

\helpref{wxDb::SetSqlLogging}{wxdbsetsqllogging}, wxDbSqlLog

\wxheading{Example}

\begin{verbatim}
   if (SQLExecDirect(hstmt, (UCHAR FAR *) pSqlStmt, SQL_NTS) != SQL_SUCCESS)
      // Display all ODBC errors for this stmt
      return(db.DispAllErrors(db.henv, db.hdbc, hstmt));
\end{verbatim}


\membersection{wxDb::DispNextError}\label{wxdbdispnexterror}

\func{void}{DispNextError}{\void}

\wxheading{Remarks}

This function is normally used internally within the ODBC class library.
It could be used externally if calling ODBC functions directly.  This
function works in conjunction with \helpref{wxDb::GetNextError}{wxdbgetnexterror} when errors (or
sometimes informational messages)  returned from ODBC need to be analyzed
rather than simply displaying them as an error.  GetNextError() retrieves
the next ODBC error from the ODBC error queue.  The wxDb member variables
"sqlState", "nativeError" and "errorMsg" could then be evaluated.  To
display the error retrieved, DispNextError() could then be called.
The combination of GetNextError() and DispNextError() can be used to
iteratively step through the errors returned from ODBC evaluating each
one in context and displaying the ones you choose.

\wxheading{Example}

\begin{verbatim}
   // Drop the table before attempting to create it
   sprintf(sqlStmt, "DROP TABLE %s", tableName);
   // Execute the drop table statement
   if (SQLExecDirect(hstmt,(UCHAR FAR *)sqlStmt,SQL_NTS) != SQL_SUCCESS)
   {
      // Check for sqlState = S0002, "Table or view not found".
      // Ignore this error, bomb out on any other error.
      pDb->GetNextError(henv, hdbc, hstmt);
      if (strcmp(pDb->sqlState, "S0002"))
      {
         pDb->DispNextError();   // Displayed error retrieved
         pDb->DispAllErrors(henv, hdbc, hstmt); // Display all other errors, if any
         pDb->RollbackTrans();   // Rollback the transaction
         CloseCursor();          // Close the cursor
         return(FALSE);          // Return Failure
      }
   }
\end{verbatim}


\membersection{wxDb::DropView}\label{wxdbdropview}

\func{bool}{DropView}{\param{const char *}{viewName}}

Drops the data table view named in 'viewName'.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{viewName}{Name of the view to be dropped.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

If the view does not exist, this function will return TRUE.  Note that views are not supported with all data sources.

\membersection{wxDb::ExecSql}\label{wxdbexecsql}

\func{bool}{ExecSql}{\param{char *}{pSqlStmt}}

Allows a native SQL command to be executed directly against the datasource.  In addition to being able to run any standard SQL command, use of this function allows a user to (potentially) utilize features specific to the datasource they are connected to that may not be available through ODBC.  The ODBC driver will pass the specified command directly to the datasource.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{pSqlStmt}{Pointer to the SQL statement to be executed.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

This member extends the wxDb class and allows you to build and execute ANY VALID
SQL statement against the data source.  This allows you to extend the class 
library by being able to issue any SQL statement that the data source is capable
of processing.

         userID == ""    ... UserID set equal to 'this->uid'
         userID != ""    ... UserID set equal to 'userID'
\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Remarks}

The returned catalog will only contain catalog entries for tables to which the user specified in 'userID' has sufficient privileges.  If no user is specified (NULL passed in), a catalog pertaining to all tables in the datasource accessible via this connection will be returned.

\membersection{wxDb::GetColumnCount}\label{wxdbgetcolumncount}

\func{int}{GetColumnCount}{\param{char *}{tableName}, \param{const char *}{userID}}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{tableName}{A table name you wish to obtain column information about.}

\docparam{userID}{Name of the user that owns the table(s).  Required for some datasources for situations where there may be multiple tables with the same name in the datasource, but owned by different users. {\it userID} is evaluated in the following manner:}

\begin{verbatim}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{tableName}{A table name you wish to obtain column information about.}
\docparam{numCols}{A pointer to a integer which will hold a count of the number of columns returned by this function}
\docparam{tableName[]}{An array of pointers to table names you wish to obtain column information about.  The last element of this array must be a NULL string.}
\docparam{userID}{Name of the user that owns the table(s).  Required for some datasources for situations where there may be multiple tables with the same name in the datasource, but owned by different users. {\it userID} is evaluated in the following manner:}

\begin{verbatim}
         userID == NULL  ... UserID is ignored (DEFAULT)
         userID == ""    ... UserID set equal to 'this->uid'
         userID != ""    ... UserID set equal to 'userID'
\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Return value}

This function returns an array of wxDbColInf structures.  This allows you to obtain
information regarding the columns of your table(s).  If no columns were found, or
an error occurred, this pointer will be zero (null).

THE CALLING FUNCTION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DELETING THE {\it wxDbColInf} MEMORY WHEN IT IS
FINISHED WITH IT.

\normalbox{ALL column bindings associated with this wxDb instance are unbound
by this function.  This function should use its own wxDb instance

\docparam{tableName}{The name of the table you wish to grant privileges on.}
\docparam{userList}{A comma delimited list of users to grant the privileges to.  If this argument is not passed in, the privileges will be given to the general PUBLIC.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

Some databases require user names to be specified in all capital letters (i.e. Oracle).  This function does not automatically capitalize the user names passed in the comma-separated list.  This is the responsibility of the calling routine.

\membersection{wxDb::IsFwdOnlyCursors}\label{wxdbisfwdonlycursors}

\func{bool}{IsFwdOnlyCursors}{\void}

Indicates whether this connection to the datasource only allows forward scrolling cursors or not.  This state is set at connection creation time.

\wxheading{Remarks}

Added as of wxWindows v2.4 release, this function is a renamed version of wxDb::FwdOnlyCursors() to match the normal wxWindows naming conventions for class member functions.

This function is not available in versions prior to v2.4.  You should use \helpref{wxDb::FwdOnlyCursors}{wxdbfwdonlycursors} for wxWindows versions priori to 2.4.

\membersection{wxDb::Open}\label{wxdbopen}

\func{bool}{Open}{\param{char *}{Dsn}, \param{char *}{Uid}, \param{char *}{AuthStr}}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{Dsn}{Data source name.  The name of the ODBC data source as 
assigned when the data source is initially set up through the ODBC data 
source manager.}
\docparam{Uid}{User ID.  The name (ID) of the user you wish to connect as
to the data source.  The user name (ID) determines what objects you
have access to in the datasource and what datasource privileges you have.
Privileges include being able to create new objects, update objects, delete
objects and so on.  Users and privileges are normally administered by the
database administrator.}
\docparam{AuthStr}{The password associated witht the Uid.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

After a wxDb instance is created, it must then be opened.  When opening a data source, there must be hree pieces of information passed.  The data source name, user name (ID) and the password for the user.  No database activity on the data source can be performed until it is opened.  This would normally be done at program startup and the data source would remain open for the duration of the program run.  Note: It is possible to have multiple data sources open at the same time to support distributed database connections. 

\wxheading{Example}

\begin{verbatim}
   wxDb sampleDB(Db.Henv);
   if (!sampleDB.Open("Oracle 7.1 HP/UX", "gtasker", "myPassword"))
   {
      // Error opening data source
   }
\end{verbatim}


\membersection{wxDb::RollbackTrans}\label{wxdbrollbacktrans}

\func{bool}{RollbackTrans}{\void}

Function to "rollback" changes made to the database.  After an insert/update/delete, the operation may be "undone" by issuing this command any time before a \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans} is called on the database connection.

\wxheading{Remarks}

Transactions begin implicitly as soon as you make a change to the database.  At any time thereafter, you can save your work to the database (using \helpref{wxDb::CommitTrans}{wxdbcommittrans}) or undo all of your changes using this function.

\normalbox{Calling this member function rolls back ALL open (uncommitted) transactions on this ODBC connection.}

\membersection{wxDb::SetSqlLogging}\label{wxdbsetsqllogging}

\func{bool}{SetSqlLogging}{\param{wxDbSqlLogState}{ state}, \param{const wxChar *}{filename = SQL_LOG_FILENAME}, \param{bool}{ append = FALSE}}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{state}{Either sqlLogOFF or sqlLogON (see \helpref{enum wxDbSqlLogState}{wxdbcolfor}). Turns logging of SQL commands sent to the data source OFF or ON.}
\docparam{filename}{{\it OPTIONAL}.  Name of the file to which the log text is to be written.}
\docparam{append}{{\it OPTIONAL}. Whether the file is appended to or overwritten.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

When called with {\it sqlLogON}, all commands sent to the data source engine are logged to the file specified by {\it filename}.  Logging is done by embedded WriteSqlLog() calls in the database member functions, or may be manually logged by adding calls to WriteSqlLog() in your own source code.

When called with {\it sqlLogOFF}, the logging file is closed, and any calls to WriteSqlLog() are ignored.

\membersection{wxDb::TableExists}\label{wxdbtablexists}

\func{bool}{TableExists}{\param{const char *}{tableName}, \param{const char *}{userID=NULL}, \param{const char *}{path=NULL}}

Checks the ODBC data source for the existence of a table.  If a {\it userID} is specified, then the table must be accessible by that user (user must have at least minimal privileges to the table).

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{tableName}{Name of the table to check for the existence of}
\docparam{userID}{Owner of the table.  Specify a userID when the datasource you are connected
to allows multiple unique tables with the same name to be owned by different users.  {\it userID}
is evaluated as follows:}

\begin{verbatim}
         userID == NULL  ... UserID is ignored (DEFAULT)
         userID == ""    ... UserID set equal to 'this->uid'
         userID != ""    ... UserID set equal to 'userID'
\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Remarks}

{\it tableName} may refer to a table, view, alias or synonym.

This function does not indicate whether or not the user has privileges to query or perform other functions on the table.

\membersection{wxDb::TranslateSqlState}\label{wxdbtranslatesqlstate}

\func{int}{TranslateSqlState}{\param{const wxChar *}{SQLState}}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{SQLState}{Converts an ODBC sqlstate to an internal error code.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns the internal class DB_ERR code.  See \helpref{wxDb::DB_STATUS}{wxdb} definition.

\membersection{wxDb::WriteSqlLog}\label{wxdbwritesqllog}

\func{bool}{WriteSqlLog}{\param{const wxChar *}{logMsg}}

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{logMsg}{Free form string to be written to the log file.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

Very useful debugging tool that may be turned on/off during run time.  The
passed in string {\it logMsg} will be written to a log file if SQL logging
is turned on (see \helpref{wxDb::SetSqlLogging}{wxdbsetsqllogging} for details on turning logging on/off).

\wxheading{Return value}

If SQL logging is off when a call to WriteSqlLog() is made, or there is a
failure to write the log message to the log file, the function returns
FALSE without performing the requested log, otherwise TRUE is returned.

\membersection{wxDb::IsFwdOnlyCursors}\label{wxdbisfwdonlycursors}

\func{bool}{IsFwdOnlyCursors}{\void}

\wxheading{Remarks}

This setting indicates whether this database connection was created
as being capable of using only forward scrolling cursors.  This function
does NOT indicate if the ODBC driver or datasource supports backward
scrolling cursors.  There is no standard way of detecting if the driver
or datasource can support backward scrolling cursors.

If a wxDb instance was created as being forward only cursors, then even if
the datasource and ODBC driver support backward scrolling cursors, then
tables using this database connection can only use forward scrolling
cursors.

The default setting of whether a wxDb connection to a database allows
forward-only or also backward scrolling cursors is defined in setup.h by 
the wxODBC_FWD_ONLY_CURSORS value.  This default setting can be overridden
when the wxDb connection is initially created (see \helpref{wxDb constructor}{wxdbconstr}).

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns TRUE if this datasource connection is defined as using only forward
scrolling cursors, or FALSE if the connection is defined as being capable
of supporting backward scrolling cursors (see note above).

\wxheading{Remarks}

The return value will be of the enumerated type wxDBMS.  This enumerated
type contains a list of all the currently tested and supported databases.

Additional databases may be work with these classes, but these databases
returned by this function have been tested and confirmed to work with 
these ODBC classes.

enum wxDBMS includes:
\begin{verbatim}
      dbmsUNIDENTIFIED
      dbmsORACLE
      dbmsSYBASE_ASA
      dbmsSYBASE_ASE
      dbmsMY_SQL_SERVER
      dbmsMY_SQL
      dbmsPOSTGRES
      dbmsACCESS
      dbmsDBASE
      dbmsINFORMIX	
\end{verbatim}

There are known issues with conformance to the ODBC standards with several
datasources listed above.  Please see the overview for specific details on
which datasource have which issues.

\wxheading{Return value}

The return value will indicate which of the supported datasources is 
currently connected to by this connection.  In the event that the
datasource is not recognized, a value of 'dbmsUNIDENTIFIED' is returned.

\membersection{wxDb::SetDebugErrorMessages}\label{wxdbsetdebugerrormessages}

\func{void}{SetDebugErrorMessages}{\param{bool }{state}}

\docparam{state}{Either TRUE (debug messages are displayed) or FALSE (debug
messages are not displayed.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

Turns on/off debug error messages from the ODBC class library.  When
this function is passed TRUE, errors are reported to the user automatically
in a text or pop-up dialog when an ODBC error occurs.  When passed FALSE,
errors are silently handled.

When compiled in release mode (FINAL=1), this setting has no affect.

\wxheading{Constants}
\begin{verbatim}
    wxDB_DEFAULT_CURSOR     Index number of the cursor that each table will use
                            by default.

    wxDB_QUERY_ONLY         Used to indicate whether a table that is opened is
                            for query only, or if insert/update/deletes will
                            be performed on the table.  Less overhead (cursors
                            and memory) are allocated for query only tables, plus
                            read access times are faster with some datasources.

    wxDB_ROWID_LEN          [Oracle specific] - Used when CanUpdateByRowID() is
                            true.  Optimizes updates so they are faster by 
                            updating on the Oracle-specific ROWID column rather 
                            than some other index.


    wxDB_DISABLE_VIEW       Use to indicate when a database view should not be
                            if a table is normally set up to use a view.  
                            [Currently unsupported.]

\section{\class{wxDbTableInf}}\label{wxdbtableinf}

Currently only used by wxDb::GetCatalog() internally and wxDbInf class,
but may be used in future releases for  user functions.  Contains information
describing the table (Name, type, etc). A pointer to a wxDbColInf array 
instance is included so a program can create a wxDbColInf array instance
(using \helpref{wxDb::GetColumns}{wxdbgetcolumns}) to maintain all information about the columns
of a table in one memory structure.
