Detailed Description

You cannot convert a signed char to/from SQL.

Converting this type may seem simple enough, but it's ambiguous: Did you mean the value as a small integer? Or were you thinking of a single-character string (and if so, in what encoding)? Or perhaps it's just a raw byte value?

If you meant it as an integer, use an appropriate integral type such as int or short etc.

If you wanted a single-character string, use std::string_view (or a similar type such as std::string).

Or if you had a raw byte in mind, try pqxx::bytes_view instead.

Member Function Documentation

◆ from_string()

static signed char pqxx::string_traits< signed char >::from_string ( std::string_view text)
inlinestaticnodiscard

Parse a string representation of a TYPE value.

Throws conversion_error if value does not meet the expected format for a value of this type.

Warning
A null value has no string representation. Do not parse a null.

◆ size_buffer()

static std::size_t pqxx::string_traits< signed char >::size_buffer ( signed char const & value)
inlinestaticnodiscardnoexcept

Estimate how much buffer space is needed to represent value.

The estimate may be a little pessimistic, if it saves time.

The estimate includes the terminating zero.

◆ to_buf()

static zview pqxx::string_traits< signed char >::to_buf ( char * begin,
char * end,
signed char const & value )
inlinestaticnodiscard

Return a string_view representing value, plus terminating zero.

Produces a string_view containing the PostgreSQL string representation for value.

Warning
A null value has no string representation. Do not pass a null.

Uses the space from begin to end as a buffer, if needed. The returned string may lie somewhere in that buffer, or it may be a compile-time constant, or it may be null if value was a null value. Even if the string is stored in the buffer, its begin() may or may not be the same as begin.

The string_view is guaranteed to be valid as long as the buffer from begin to end remains accessible and unmodified.

Exceptions
pqxx::conversion_overrunif the provided buffer space may not be enough. For maximum performance, this is a conservative estimate. It may complain about a buffer which is actually large enough for your value, if an exact check gets too expensive.

Member Data Documentation

◆ converts_from_string

bool pqxx::string_traits< signed char >::converts_from_string
staticconstexpr

Is conversion from string_view to TYPE supported?

When defining your own conversions, specialise this as true to indicate that your string traits support from_string.

◆ converts_to_string

bool pqxx::string_traits< signed char >::converts_to_string
staticconstexpr

Is conversion from TYPE to strings supported?

When defining your own conversions, specialise this as true to indicate that your string traits support the conversions to strings.
