Another question on this. I am implementing an API for users where I
try to hide all of the libpqxx back-end connection work. So they
essentially either call load(stuff) and get(stuff) when wanting to
push/get data from the database. For the purposes of setting up a
lostream, what is the best way to implement this? Should I create an
ilostream pointer and pass them the pointer? I tried doing this but, it
seems you can't assign one ilostream object to another (perhaps for
obvious reasons that are not obvious to me). And maybe I shouldn't even
try to do this, but I was just trying to make the database interface as
simple as possible for user applications. Thoughts??
ie.
pqxx::ilostream & DBInterface::getBlobStream(int loId)
{
std::string me = "getBlob";
pqxx::work w(*_conn,me);
static pqxx::ilostream loStream(w, loId);
return loStream; //really shouldn't return local var, but just
testing for now
}
....
calling app
...
pqxx::ilostream s = db->getBlob(conn, 137396407)); <== causes
compiler error
Thanks.
