## Detailed Description

A class for building SQL-formatted strings.

See the user manual for more details about these options.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mysqlpp::SQLStream::SQLStream | ( | Connection * | c,
|  | const char * | pstr = `0`
| ) |  |

Create a new stream object attached to a connection.

Parameters

  c | connection used for escaping text
  pstr | an optional initial string

mysqlpp::SQLStream::SQLStream | ( | const SQLStream & | s | ) |

Create a new stream object as a copy of another.

This is a traditional copy ctor.

## Member Function Documentation

size_t mysqlpp::SQLStream::escape_string | ( | std::string * | ps,
|  | const char * | original = `0`,
|  | size_t | length = `0`
| ) |  | const

Return a SQL-escaped version of a character buffer.

Parameters

  ps | pointer to C++ string to hold escaped version; if original is 0, also holds the original data to be escaped
  original | if given, pointer to the character buffer to escape instead of contents of *ps
  length | if both this and original are given, number of characters to escape instead of ps->length()

Return values

  number | of characters placed in *ps

size_t mysqlpp::SQLStream::escape_string | ( | char * | escaped,
|  | const char * | original,
|  | size_t | length
| ) |  | const

Return a SQL-escaped version of the given character buffer.

Parameters

  escaped | character buffer to hold escaped version; must point to at least (length * 2 + 1) bytes
  original | pointer to the character buffer to escape
  length | number of characters to escape

Return values

  number | of characters placed in escaped

DBDriver provides two versions of this method and Query::escape_string() calls the appropriate one based on whether or not a database connection is available. If the connection is available, it can call the DBDriver::escape_string() method. If there is no database connection available (normally only in testing), then DBDriver provides a static version of the function that doesn't use a database connection.
