Hi mate,
If you still need further details of database uri, you may refer to the
skeleton code below.
obj_vl = QgsVectorLayer(in_fc,"new lyr","ogr")
datapr=obj_vl.dataProvider()
lyrUri=None
if isinstance(obj_vl, QgsVectorLayer):
lyrUri = QgsDataSourceUri(obj_vl.dataProvider().dataSourceUri())
if lyrUri.database() == "shapefileName" or \
os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(lyrUri.uri().split('|')[0]))[0] ==
"shapefileName":
pass
connParams = dict()
if obj_vl.providerType() == 'postgres':
connParams['host'] = lyrUri.host()
connParams['port'] = lyrUri.port()
connParams['user'] = lyrUri.username()
connParams['password'] = lyrUri.password()
elif obj_vl.providerType() == 'spatialite':
connParams['dbPath'] = lyrUri.database()
elif obj_vl.providerType() == 'ogr':
connParams['dbPath'] = lyrUri.database()
