<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QSqlFieldInfo class stores meta data associated with a SQL field.
<p>
<p> QSqlFieldInfo objects only store meta data; field values are
stored in <a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a> objects.
<p> All values must be set in the constructor, and may be retrieved
using <a href="#isRequired">isRequired</a>(), <a href="#type">type</a>(), <a href="#length">length</a>(), <a href="#precision">precision</a>(), <a href="#defaultValue">defaultValue</a>(),
<a href="#name">name</a>(), <a href="#isGenerated">isGenerated</a>() and <a href="#typeID">typeID</a>().
<p>See also <a href="database.html">Database Classes</a>.

Constructs a QSqlFieldInfo with the following parameters:
<center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top"><em>name</em> <td valign="top">the name of the field.
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><em>typ</em> <td valign="top">the field's type in a <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>.

if its value can be NULL and less than 0 if it cannot be
determined whether the field is required or not.
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><em>len</em> <td valign="top">the length of the field. Note that for
non-character types some databases return either the length in
bytes or the number of digits. -1 signifies that the length cannot
be determined.

has no precision or it cannot be determined.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QSqlFieldInfo-2"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::QSqlFieldInfo ( const&nbsp;<a href="qsqlfieldinfo.html">QSqlFieldInfo</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other )
</h3>
Constructs a copy of <em>other</em>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="QSqlFieldInfo-3"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::QSqlFieldInfo ( const&nbsp;<a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other, bool&nbsp;generated = TRUE )
</h3>
Creates a QSqlFieldInfo object with the type and the name of the
<a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a> <em>other</em>. If <em>generated</em> is TRUE this field will be
included in auto-generated SQL statments, e.g. in <a href="qsqlcursor.html">QSqlCursor</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QSqlFieldInfo"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::~QSqlFieldInfo ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> <a name="defaultValue"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::defaultValue () const
</h3>
Returns the field's default value or an empty <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> if the
field has no default value or the value couldn't be determined.
The default value is the value inserted in the database when it
is not explicitly specified by the user.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isCalculated"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::isCalculated () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the field is calculated; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setCalculated">setCalculated</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isGenerated"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::isGenerated () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the field should be included in auto-generated
SQL statments, e.g. in <a href="qsqlcursor.html">QSqlCursor</a>; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setGenerated">setGenerated</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="isRequired"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::isRequired () const
</h3>
Returns a value greater than 0 if the field is required (NULL
values are not allowed), 0 if it isn't required (NULL values are
allowed) or less than 0 if it cannot be determined whether the
field is required or not.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isTrim"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::isTrim () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if trailing whitespace should be removed from
character fields; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setTrim">setTrim</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="length"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::length () const
</h3>
Returns the field's length. For fields storing text the return
value is the maximum number of characters the field can hold. For
non-character fields some database systems return the number of
bytes needed or the number of digits allowed. If the length cannot
be determined -1 is returned.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="name"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::name () const
</h3>
Returns the name of the field in the SQL table.
<p>Examples: <a href="sql.html#x2260">sql/overview/subclass3/main.cpp</a> and <a href="sql.html#x2264">sql/overview/subclass4/main.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qsqlfieldinfo.html">QSqlFieldInfo</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-eq"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::operator= ( const&nbsp;<a href="qsqlfieldinfo.html">QSqlFieldInfo</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other )
</h3>
Assigns <em>other</em> to this field info and returns a reference to it.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator-eq-eq"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::operator== ( const&nbsp;<a href="qsqlfieldinfo.html">QSqlFieldInfo</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;f ) const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if this fieldinfo is equal to <em>f</em>; otherwise returns
FALSE.
<p> Two field infos are considered equal if all their attributes
match.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="precision"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::precision () const
</h3>
Returns the field's precision or -1 if the field has no precision
or it cannot be determined.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setCalculated"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::setCalculated ( bool&nbsp;calc )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
<em>calc</em> set to TRUE indicates that this field is a calculated
field. The value of calculated fields can by modified by subclassing
<a href="qsqlcursor.html">QSqlCursor</a> and overriding <a href="qsqlcursor.html#calculateField">QSqlCursor::calculateField</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isCalculated">isCalculated</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setGenerated"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::setGenerated ( bool&nbsp;gen )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
<em>gen</em> set to FALSE indicates that this field should not appear
in auto-generated SQL statements (for example in <a href="qsqlcursor.html">QSqlCursor</a>).
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isGenerated">isGenerated</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setTrim"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::setTrim ( bool&nbsp;trim )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
If <em>trim</em> is TRUE widgets should remove trailing whitespace from
character fields. This does not affect the field value but only
its representation inside widgets.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isTrim">isTrim</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a> <a name="toField"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::toField () const
</h3>
Returns an empty <a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a> based on the information in this
QSqlFieldInfo.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qvariant.html#Type-enum">QVariant::Type</a> <a name="type"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::type () const
</h3>
Returns the field's type or QVariant::Invalid if the type is
unknown.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="typeID"></a>QSqlFieldInfo::typeID () const
</h3>
Returns the internal type identifier as returned from the database
system. The return value is 0 if the type is unknown.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> This information is only useful for low-level database
programming and is <em>not</em> database independent.
