The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at CDaoQueryDefInfo Structure.

The CDaoQueryDefInfo structure contains information about a querydef object defined for data access objects (DAO).

Syntax

struct CDaoQueryDefInfo  
{  
    CString m_strName;               // Primary  
    short m_nType;   // Primary  
    COleDateTime m_dateCreated;      // Secondary  
    COleDateTime m_dateLastUpdated;  // Secondary  
    BOOL m_bUpdatable;               // Secondary  
    BOOL m_bReturnsRecords;          // Secondary  
    CString m_strSQL;                // All  
    CString m_strConnect;            // All  
    short m_nODBCTimeout;            // All  
};

Parameters

m_strName
Uniquely names the querydef object. For more information, see the topic "Name Property" in DAO Help. Call CDaoQueryDef::GetName to retrieve this property directly.

m_nType
A value that indicates the operational type of a querydef object. The value can be one of the following:

  • dbQSelect Select — the query selects records.

  • dbQAction Action — the query moves or changes data but does not return records.

  • dbQCrosstab Crosstab — the query returns data in a spreadsheet-like format.

  • dbQDelete Delete — the query deletes a set of specified rows.

  • dbQUpdate Update — the query changes a set of records.

  • dbQAppend Append — the query adds new records to the end of a table or query.

  • dbQMakeTable Make-table — the query creates a new table from a recordset.

  • dbQDDL Data-definition — the query affects the structure of tables or their parts.

  • dbQSQLPassThrough Pass-through — the SQL statement is passed directly to the database backend, without intermediate processing.

  • dbQSetOperation Union — the query creates a snapshot-type recordset object containing data from all specified records in two or more tables with any duplicate records removed. To include the duplicates, add the keyword ALL in the querydef's SQL statement.

  • dbQSPTBulk Used with dbQSQLPassThrough to specify a query that does not return records.

Note

To create a SQL pass-through query, you do not set the dbQSQLPassThrough constant. This is set automatically by the Microsoft Jet database engine when you create a querydef object and set the Connect property.

For more information, see the topic "Type Property" in DAO Help.

m_dateCreated
The date and time the querydef was created. To directly retrieve the date the querydef was created, call the GetDateCreated member function of the CDaoTableDef object associated with the table. See Comments below for more information. Also see the topic "DateCreated, LastUpdated Properties" in DAO Help.

m_dateLastUpdated
The date and time of the most recent change made to the querydef. To directly retrieve the date the table was last updated, call the GetDateLastUpdated member function of the querydef. See Comments below for more information. And see the topic "DateCreated, LastUpdated Properties" in DAO Help.

m_bUpdatable
Indicates whether changes can be made to a querydef object. If this property is TRUE, the querydef is updatable; otherwise, it is not. Updatable means the querydef object's query definition can be changed. The Updatable property of a querydef object is set to TRUE if the query definition can be updated, even if the resulting recordset is not updatable. To retrieve this property directly, call the querydef's CanUpdate member function. For more information, see the topic "Updatable Property" in DAO Help.

m_bReturnsRecords
Indicates whether a SQL pass-through query to an external database returns records. If this property is TRUE, the query returns records. To directly retrieve this property, call CDaoQueryDef::GetReturnsRecords. Not all SQL pass-through queries to external databases return records. For example, a SQL UPDATE statement updates records without returning records, while a SQL SELECT statement does return records. For more information, see the topic "ReturnsRecords Property" in DAO Help.

m_strSQL
The SQL statement that defines the query executed by a querydef object. The SQL property contains the SQL statement that determines how records are selected, grouped, and ordered when you execute the query. You can use the query to select records to include in a dynaset- or snapshot-type recordset object. You can also define bulk queries to modify data without returning records. You can retrieve the value of this property directly by calling the querydef's GetSQL member function.

m_strConnect
Provides information about the source of a database used in a pass-through query. This information takes the form of a connect string. For more information about connect strings, and for information about retrieving the value of this property directly, see the CDaoDatabase::GetConnect member function.

m_nODBCTimeout
The number of seconds the Microsoft Jet database engine waits before a timeout error occurs when a query is run on an ODBC database. When you're using an ODBC database, such as Microsoft SQL Server, there may be delays because of network traffic or heavy use of the ODBC server. Rather than waiting indefinitely, you can specify how long the Microsoft Jet engine waits before it produces an error. The default timeout value is 60 seconds. You can retrieve the value of this property directly by calling the querydef's GetODBCTimeout member function. For more information, see the topic "ODBCTimeout Property" in DAO Help.

Remarks

The querydef is an object of class CDaoQueryDef. The references to Primary, Secondary, and All above indicate how the information is returned by the GetQueryDefInfo member function in class CDaoDatabase.

Information retrieved by the CDaoDatabase::GetQueryDefInfo member function is stored in a CDaoQueryDefInfo structure. Call GetQueryDefInfo for the database object in whose QueryDefs collection the querydef object is stored. CDaoQueryDefInfo also defines a Dump member function in debug builds. You can use Dump to dump the contents of a CDaoQueryDefInfo object. Class CDaoDatabase also supplies member functions for directly accessing all of the properties returned in a CDaoQueryDefInfo object, so you will probably seldom need to call GetQueryDefInfo.

When you append a new field or parameter object to the Fields or Parameters collection of a querydef object, an exception is thrown if the underlying database does not support the data type specified for the new object.

The date and time settings are derived from the computer on which the querydef was created or last updated. In a multiuser environment, users should get these settings directly from the file server using the net time command to avoid discrepancies in the DateCreated and LastUpdated property settings.
