## Detailed Description

Simple data model's contents comparison.

The DataComparator is a simple object which takes two DataModel objects and compare them. Actual comparison is performed when the compute_diff() is called; for each difference found, the diff-computed signal is emitted (any user installed signal handler which returns FALSE stops the computing process).

After the differences have been computed, they can each be accessed using gda_data_comparator_get_diff(), the number of differences found being returned by gda_data_comparator_get_n_diffs(). There are some limitations to this object:

- The data models compared must have the same number and type of columns
- The comparison is done column-for-column: one cannot omit columns in the comparison, nor compare columns with different positions

## Member Function Documentation

bool Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::compute_diff | ( |  | ) |

Actually computes the differences between the data models for which comp is defined.

For each difference computed, stored in a Gda::Diff structure, the "diff-computed" signal is emitted. If one connects to this signal and returns `false` in the signal handler, then computing differences will be stopped and an error will be returned.

Returns:
  `true` if all the differences have been sucessfully computed, and `false` if an error occurred.

|  | const Glib::RefPtr< DataModel >& | new_model
| ) |  | `[static]`

const Diff* Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::get_diff | ( | int | pos | ) |

Get a pointer to the Gda::Diff structure representing the difference which number is pos.

Parameters:

  pos | The requested difference number (starting at 0).

Returns:
  A pointer to a Gda::Diff, or `0` if pos is invalid.

int Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::get_n_diffs | ( |  | ) | const

Get the number of differences as computed by the last time compute_diff() was called.

Returns:
  The number of computed differences.

Reimplemented from Gnome::Gda::DataModel.

const GdaDataComparator* Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<DataModel> > Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::property_new_model | ( |  | ) | const

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::RefPtr<DataModel> > Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::property_new_model | ( |  | ) |

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::RefPtr<DataModel> > Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::property_old_model | ( |  | ) |

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<DataModel> > Gnome::Gda::DataComparator::property_old_model | ( |  | ) | const

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gnome::Gda::DataComparator > wrap | ( | GdaDataComparator * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
