Detailed Description

LEGACY class.

Use GDALDataset in your new code ! This class may be removed in a later release.

This class represents a data source. A data source potentially consists of many layers (OGRLayer). A data source normally consists of one, or a related set of files, though the name doesn't have to be a real item in the file system.

When an OGRDataSource is destroyed, all its associated OGRLayers objects are also destroyed.

NOTE: Starting with GDAL 2.0, it is NOT safe to cast the handle of a C function that returns a OGRDataSourceH to a OGRDataSource*. If a C++ object is needed, the handle should be cast to GDALDataset*.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AbortSQL()

OGRErr GDALDataset::AbortSQL ( )
virtualinherited

Abort any SQL statement running in the data store.

This function can be safely called from any thread (pending that the dataset object is still alive). Driver implementations will make sure that it can be called in a thread-safe way.

This might not be implemented by all drivers. At time of writing, only SQLite, GPKG and PG drivers implement it

This method is the same as the C method GDALDatasetAbortSQL()

Since
GDAL 3.2.0

◆ AddBand()

CPLErr GDALDataset::AddBand ( GDALDataType  eType,
char **  papszOptions = nullptr 
)
virtualinherited

Add a band to a dataset.

This method will add a new band to the dataset if the underlying format supports this action. Most formats do not.

Note that the new GDALRasterBand is not returned. It may be fetched after successful completion of the method by calling GDALDataset::GetRasterBand(GDALDataset::GetRasterCount()) as the newest band will always be the last band.

Parameters
eTypethe data type of the pixels in the new band.
papszOptionsa list of NAME=VALUE option strings. The supported options are format specific. NULL may be passed by default.
Returns
CE_None on success or CE_Failure on failure.

◆ AddFieldDomain()

bool GDALDataset::AddFieldDomain ( std::unique_ptr< OGRFieldDomain > &&  domain,
std::string &  failureReason 
)
virtualinherited

Add a field domain to the dataset.

Only a few drivers will support this operation, and some of them might only support it only for some types of field domains. At the time of writing (GDAL 3.3), only the Memory and GeoPackage drivers support this operation. A dataset having at least some support for this operation should report the ODsCAddFieldDomain dataset capability.

Anticipated failures will not be emitted through the CPLError() infrastructure, but will be reported in the failureReason output parameter.

Note
Drivers should make sure to update m_oMapFieldDomains in order for the default implementation of GetFieldDomainNames() to work correctly, or alternatively a specialized implementation of GetFieldDomainNames() should be implemented.
Parameters
domainThe domain definition.
failureReasonOutput parameter. Will contain an error message if an error occurs.
Returns
true in case of success.
Since
GDAL 3.3

◆ AddRelationship()

bool GDALDataset::AddRelationship ( std::unique_ptr< GDALRelationship > &&  relationship,
std::string &  failureReason 
)
virtualinherited

Add a relationship to the dataset.

Only a few drivers will support this operation, and some of them might only support it only for some types of relationships.

A dataset having at least some support for this operation should report the GDsCAddRelationship dataset capability.

Anticipated failures will not be emitted through the CPLError() infrastructure, but will be reported in the failureReason output parameter.

When adding a many-to-many relationship (GDALRelationshipCardinality::GRC_MANY_TO_MANY), it is possible to omit the mapping table name (see GDALRelationship::GetMappingTableName) to instruct the driver to create an appropriately named and structured mapping table. Some dataset formats require particular naming conventions and field structures for the mapping table, and delegating the construction of the mapping table to the driver will avoid these pitfalls.

Parameters
relationshipThe relationship definition.
failureReasonOutput parameter. Will contain an error message if an error occurs.
Returns
true in case of success.
Since
GDAL 3.6

◆ AdviseRead()

CPLErr GDALDataset::AdviseRead ( int  nXOff,
int  nYOff,
int  nXSize,
int  nYSize,
int  nBufXSize,
int  nBufYSize,
GDALDataType  eBufType,
int  nBandCount,
int *  panBandMap,
char **  papszOptions 
)
virtualinherited

Advise driver of upcoming read requests.

Some GDAL drivers operate more efficiently if they know in advance what set of upcoming read requests will be made. The AdviseRead() method allows an application to notify the driver of the region and bands of interest, and at what resolution the region will be read.

Many drivers just ignore the AdviseRead() call, but it can dramatically accelerate access via some drivers.

Depending on call paths, drivers might receive several calls to AdviseRead() with the same parameters.

Parameters
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
nBufXSizethe width of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
nBufYSizethe height of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the pData data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
nBandCountthe number of bands being read or written.
panBandMapthe list of nBandCount band numbers being read/written. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands.
papszOptionsa list of name=value strings with special control options. Normally this is NULL.
Returns
CE_Failure if the request is invalid and CE_None if it works or is ignored.

◆ BeginAsyncReader()

GDALAsyncReader * GDALDataset::BeginAsyncReader ( int  nXOff,
int  nYOff,
int  nXSize,
int  nYSize,
void *  pBuf,
int  nBufXSize,
int  nBufYSize,
GDALDataType  eBufType,
int  nBandCount,
int *  panBandMap,
int  nPixelSpace,
int  nLineSpace,
int  nBandSpace,
char **  papszOptions 
)
virtualinherited

Sets up an asynchronous data request.

This method establish an asynchronous raster read request for the indicated window on the dataset into the indicated buffer. The parameters for windowing, buffer size, buffer type and buffer organization are similar to those for GDALDataset::RasterIO(); however, this call only launches the request and filling the buffer is accomplished via calls to GetNextUpdatedRegion() on the return GDALAsyncReader session object.

Once all processing for the created session is complete, or if no further refinement of the request is required, the GDALAsyncReader object should be destroyed with the GDALDataset::EndAsyncReader() method.

Note that the data buffer (pData) will potentially continue to be updated as long as the session lives, but it is not deallocated when the session (GDALAsyncReader) is destroyed with EndAsyncReader(). It should be deallocated by the application at that point.

Additional information on asynchronous IO in GDAL may be found at: https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc24_progressive_data_support.html

This method is the same as the C GDALBeginAsyncReader() function.

Parameters
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
pBufThe buffer into which the data should be read. This buffer must contain at least nBufXSize * nBufYSize * nBandCount words of type eBufType. It is organized in left to right,top to bottom pixel order. Spacing is controlled by the nPixelSpace, and nLineSpace parameters.
nBufXSizethe width of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
nBufYSizethe height of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the pData data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
nBandCountthe number of bands being read or written.
panBandMapthe list of nBandCount band numbers being read/written. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands.
nPixelSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one pixel value in pData to the start of the next pixel value within a scanline. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype eBufType is used.
nLineSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one scanline in pData to the start of the next. If defaulted the size of the datatype eBufType * nBufXSize is used.
nBandSpacethe byte offset from the start of one bands data to the start of the next. If defaulted (zero) the value will be nLineSpace * nBufYSize implying band sequential organization of the data buffer.
papszOptionsDriver specific control options in a string list or NULL. Consult driver documentation for options supported.
Returns
The GDALAsyncReader object representing the request.

◆ BuildMetadataDomainList()

char ** GDALMajorObject::BuildMetadataDomainList ( char **  papszList,
int  bCheckNonEmpty,
  ... 
)
protectedinherited

Helper function for custom implementations of GetMetadataDomainList()

Parameters
papszListinitial list of domains. May be NULL. Will become invalid after function call (use return value)
bCheckNonEmptyif TRUE, each candidate domain will be tested to be non empty
...NULL terminated variadic list of candidate domains.
Returns
NULL or a string list. Must be freed with CSLDestroy()
Since
GDAL 1.11

◆ BuildOverviews()

CPLErr GDALDataset::BuildOverviews ( const char *  pszResampling,
int  nOverviews,
const int *  panOverviewList,
int  nListBands,
const int *  panBandList,
GDALProgressFunc  pfnProgress,
void *  pProgressData,
CSLConstList  papszOptions 
)
inherited

Build raster overview(s)

If the operation is unsupported for the indicated dataset, then CE_Failure is returned, and CPLGetLastErrorNo() will return CPLE_NotSupported.

Depending on the actual file format, all overviews level can be also deleted by specifying nOverviews == 0. This works at least for external overviews (.ovr), TIFF internal overviews, etc.

Starting with GDAL 3.2, the GDAL_NUM_THREADS configuration option can be set to "ALL_CPUS" or a integer value to specify the number of threads to use for overview computation.

This method is the same as the C function GDALBuildOverviewsEx().

Parameters
pszResamplingone of "AVERAGE", "AVERAGE_MAGPHASE", "RMS", "BILINEAR", "CUBIC", "CUBICSPLINE", "GAUSS", "LANCZOS", "MODE", "NEAREST", or "NONE" controlling the downsampling method applied.
nOverviewsnumber of overviews to build, or 0 to clean overviews.
panOverviewListthe list of overview decimation factors to build, or NULL if nOverviews == 0.
nListBandsnumber of bands to build overviews for in panBandList. Build for all bands if this is 0.
panBandListlist of band numbers.
pfnProgressa function to call to report progress, or NULL.
pProgressDataapplication data to pass to the progress function.
papszOptions(GDAL >= 3.6) NULL terminated list of options as key=value pairs, or NULL
Returns
CE_None on success or CE_Failure if the operation doesn't work.

For example, to build overview level 2, 4 and 8 on all bands the following call could be made:

int anOverviewList[3] = { 2, 4, 8 };
poDataset->BuildOverviews( "NEAREST", 3, anOverviewList, 0, nullptr,
GDALDummyProgress, nullptr );
See also
GDALRegenerateOverviewsEx()

◆ CleanupPostFileClosing()

void GDALDataset::CleanupPostFileClosing ( )
protectedinherited

This method should be called by driver implementations in their destructor, after having closed all files, but before having freed resources that are needed for their GetFileList() implementation.

This is used to implement MarkSuppressOnClose behavior.

◆ ClearStatistics()

void GDALDataset::ClearStatistics ( )
virtualinherited

Clear statistics.

Only implemented for now in PAM supported datasets

This is the same as the C function GDALDatasetClearStatistics().

Since
GDAL 3.2

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset.

◆ Close()

CPLErr GDALDataset::Close ( )
virtualinherited

Do final cleanup before a dataset is destroyed.

This method is typically called by GDALClose() or the destructor of a GDALDataset subclass. It might also be called by C++ users before destroying a dataset. It should not be called on a shared dataset whose reference count is greater than one.

It gives a last chance to the closing process to return an error code if something goes wrong, in particular in creation / update scenarios where file write or network communication might occur when finalizing the dataset.

Implementations should be robust to this method to be called several times (on subsequent calls, it should do nothing and return CE_None). Once it has been called, no other method than Close() or the dataset destructor should be called. RasterBand or OGRLayer owned by the dataset should be assumed as no longer being valid.

If a driver implements this method, it must also call it from its dataset destructor.

A typical implementation might look as the following

MyDataset::~MyDataset()
{
try
{
MyDataset::Close();
}
catch (const std::exception &exc)
{
// If Close() can throw exception
CPLError(CE_Failure, CPLE_AppDefined,
"Exception thrown in MyDataset::Close(): %s",
exc.what());
}
catch (...)
{
// If Close() can throw exception
CPLError(CE_Failure, CPLE_AppDefined,
"Exception thrown in MyDataset::Close()");
}
}
CPLErr MyDataset::Close()
{
CPLErr eErr = CE_None;
if( nOpenFlags != OPEN_FLAGS_CLOSED )
{
if( MyDataset::FlushCache(true) != CE_None )
eErr = CE_Failure;
// Do something driver specific
if (m_fpImage)
{
if( VSIFCloseL(m_fpImage) != 0 )
{
CPLError(CE_Failure, CPLE_FileIO, "VSIFCloseL() failed");
eErr = CE_Failure;
}
}
// Call parent Close() implementation.
if( MyParentDatasetClass::Close() != CE_None )
eErr = CE_Failure;
}
return eErr;

◆ CloseDependentDatasets()

int GDALDataset::CloseDependentDatasets ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

Drop references to any other datasets referenced by this dataset.

This method should release any reference to other datasets (e.g. a VRT dataset to its sources), but not close the current dataset itself.

If at least, one reference to a dependent dataset has been dropped, this method should return TRUE. Otherwise it should return FALSE. (Failure to return the proper value might result in infinite loop)

This method can be called several times on a given dataset. After the first time, it should not do anything and return FALSE.

The driver implementation may choose to destroy its raster bands, so be careful not to call any method on the raster bands afterwards.

Basically the only safe action you can do after calling CloseDependentDatasets() is to call the destructor.

Note: the only legitimate caller of CloseDependentDatasets() is GDALDriverManager::~GDALDriverManager()

Returns
TRUE if at least one reference to another dataset has been dropped.

Reimplemented in GNMGenericNetwork.

◆ CommitTransaction()

OGRErr GDALDataset::CommitTransaction ( )
virtualinherited

For datasources which support transactions, CommitTransaction commits a transaction.

If no transaction is active, or the commit fails, will return OGRERR_FAILURE. Datasources which do not support transactions will always return OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION.

Depending on drivers, this may or may not abort layer sequential readings that are active.

This function is the same as the C function GDALDatasetCommitTransaction().

Returns
OGRERR_NONE on success.
Since
GDAL 2.0

◆ CopyLayer()

OGRLayer * GDALDataset::CopyLayer ( OGRLayer poSrcLayer,
const char *  pszNewName,
char **  papszOptions = nullptr 
)
virtualinherited

Duplicate an existing layer.

This method creates a new layer, duplicate the field definitions of the source layer and then duplicate each features of the source layer. The papszOptions argument can be used to control driver specific creation options. These options are normally documented in the format specific documentation. The source layer may come from another dataset.

This method is the same as the C function GDALDatasetCopyLayer() and the deprecated OGR_DS_CopyLayer().

In GDAL 1.X, this method used to be in the OGRDataSource class.

Parameters
poSrcLayersource layer.
pszNewNamethe name of the layer to create.
papszOptionsa StringList of name=value options. Options are driver specific. There is a common option to set output layer spatial reference: DST_SRSWKT. The option should be in WKT format. Starting with GDAL 3.7, the common option COPY_MD can be set to NO to prevent the default copying of the metadata from the source layer to the target layer.
Returns
a handle to the layer, or NULL if an error occurs.

Reimplemented in GNMGenericNetwork.

◆ CreateLayer() [1/2]

OGRLayer * GDALDataset::CreateLayer ( const char *  pszName,
const OGRGeomFieldDefn poGeomFieldDefn,
CSLConstList  papszOptions = nullptr 
)
inherited

This method attempts to create a new layer on the dataset with the indicated name and geometry field definition.

When poGeomFieldDefn is not null, most drivers should honor poGeomFieldDefn->GetType() and poGeomFieldDefn->GetSpatialRef(). Drivers that honor poGeomFieldDefn->GetCoordinatePrecision() will declare the GDAL_DCAP_HONOR_GEOM_COORDINATE_PRECISION capability. Drivers may honor poGeomFieldDefn->GetNameRef() and poGeomFieldDefn->IsNullable(), but there are very few currently.

Note that even if a geometry coordinate precision is set and a driver honors the GDAL_DCAP_HONOR_GEOM_COORDINATE_PRECISION capability, geometries passed to OGRLayer::CreateFeature() and OGRLayer::SetFeature() are assumed to be compatible with the coordinate precision. That is they are assumed to be valid once their coordinates are rounded to it. If it might not be the case, the user may set the OGR_APPLY_GEOM_SET_PRECISION configuration option before calling CreateFeature() or SetFeature() to force the OGRGeometry::SetPrecision() method to be called on the passed geometries.

The papszOptions argument can be used to control driver specific creation options. These options are normally documented in the format specific documentation. This function will try to validate the creation option list passed to the driver with the GDALValidateCreationOptions() method. This check can be disabled by defining the configuration option GDAL_VALIDATE_CREATION_OPTIONS set to NO.

Drivers should extend the ICreateLayer() method and not CreateLayer(). CreateLayer() adds validation of layer creation options, before delegating the actual work to ICreateLayer().

This method is the same as the C function GDALDatasetCreateLayerFromGeomFieldDefn().

Parameters
pszNamethe name for the new layer. This should ideally not match any existing layer on the datasource.
poGeomFieldDefnthe geometry field definition to use for the new layer, or NULL if there is no geometry field.
papszOptionsa StringList of name=value options. Options are driver specific.
Returns
NULL is returned on failure, or a new OGRLayer handle on success.

◆ CreateLayer() [2/2]

OGRLayer * GDALDataset::CreateLayer ( const char *  pszName,
const OGRSpatialReference poSpatialRef,
OGRwkbGeometryType  eGType = wkbUnknown,
CSLConstList  papszOptions = nullptr 
)
inherited

This method attempts to create a new layer on the dataset with the indicated name, coordinate system, geometry type.

The papszOptions argument can be used to control driver specific creation options. These options are normally documented in the format specific documentation. That function will try to validate the creation option list passed to the driver with the GDALValidateCreationOptions() method. This check can be disabled by defining the configuration option GDAL_VALIDATE_CREATION_OPTIONS set to NO.

Drivers should extend the ICreateLayer() method and not CreateLayer(). CreateLayer() adds validation of layer creation options, before delegating the actual work to ICreateLayer().

This method is the same as the C function GDALDatasetCreateLayer() and the deprecated OGR_DS_CreateLayer().

Example:

#include "gdal.h"
#include "cpl_string.h"
...
OGRLayer *poLayer;
char **papszOptions;
if( !poDS->TestCapability( ODsCCreateLayer ) )
{

Returns
NULL is returned on failure, or a new OGRLayer handle on success.

◆ CreateMaskBand()

CPLErr GDALDataset::CreateMaskBand ( int  nFlagsIn)
virtualinherited

Adds a mask band to the dataset.

The default implementation of the CreateMaskBand() method is implemented based on similar rules to the .ovr handling implemented using the GDALDefaultOverviews object. A TIFF file with the extension .msk will be created with the same basename as the original file, and it will have one band. The mask images will be deflate compressed tiled images with the same block size as the original image if possible. It will have INTERNAL_MASK_FLAGS_xx metadata items set at the dataset level, where xx matches the band number of a band of the main dataset. The value of those items will be the one of the nFlagsIn parameter.

Note that if you got a mask band with a previous call to GetMaskBand(), it might be invalidated by CreateMaskBand(). So you have to call GetMaskBand() again.

Since
GDAL 1.5.0
Parameters
nFlagsIn0 or combination of GMF_PER_DATASET / GMF_ALPHA. GMF_PER_DATASET will be always set, even if not explicitly specified.
Returns
CE_None on success or CE_Failure on an error.

◆ DeleteFieldDomain()

bool GDALDataset::DeleteFieldDomain ( const std::string &  name,
std::string &  failureReason 
)
virtualinherited

Removes a field domain from the dataset.

Only a few drivers will support this operation.

At the time of writing (GDAL 3.5), only the Memory and GeoPackage drivers support this operation. A dataset having at least some support for this operation should report the ODsCDeleteFieldDomain dataset capability.

Anticipated failures will not be emitted through the CPLError() infrastructure, but will be reported in the failureReason output parameter.

Note
Drivers should make sure to update m_oMapFieldDomains in order for the default implementation of GetFieldDomainNames() to work correctly, or alternatively a specialized implementation of GetFieldDomainNames() should be implemented.
Parameters
nameThe domain name.
failureReasonOutput parameter. Will contain an error message if an error occurs.
Returns
true in case of success.
Since
GDAL 3.5

◆ DeleteLayer()

OGRErr GDALDataset::DeleteLayer ( int  iLayer)
virtualinherited

Delete the indicated layer from the datasource.

If this method is supported the ODsCDeleteLayer capability will test TRUE on the GDALDataset.

This method is the same as the C function GDALDatasetDeleteLayer() and the deprecated OGR_DS_DeleteLayer().

In GDAL 1.X, this method used to be in the OGRDataSource class.

Parameters
iLayerthe index of the layer to delete.
Returns
OGRERR_NONE on success, or OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION if deleting layers is not supported for this datasource.

Reimplemented in GNMGenericNetwork.

◆ DeleteRelationship()

bool GDALDataset::DeleteRelationship ( const std::string &  name,
std::string &  failureReason 
)
virtualinherited

Removes a relationship from the dataset.

Only a few drivers will support this operation.

A dataset having at least some support for this operation should report the GDsCDeleteRelationship dataset capability.

Anticipated failures will not be emitted through the CPLError() infrastructure, but will be reported in the failureReason output parameter.

Parameters
nameThe relationship name.
failureReasonOutput parameter. Will contain an error message if an error occurs.
Returns
true in case of success.
Since
GDAL 3.6

◆ Dereference()

int GDALDataset::Dereference ( )
inherited

Subtract one from dataset reference count.

The reference is one after instantiation. Generally when the reference count has dropped to zero the dataset may be safely deleted (closed).

This method is the same as the C GDALDereferenceDataset() function.

Returns
the post-decrement reference count.

◆ DropCache()

CPLErr GDALDataset::DropCache ( )
virtualinherited

Drop all write cached data.

This method is the same as the C function GDALDropCache().

Returns
CE_None in case of success
Since
3.9

◆ EndAsyncReader()

void GDALDataset::EndAsyncReader ( GDALAsyncReader poARIO)
virtualinherited

End asynchronous request.

This method destroys an asynchronous io request and recovers all resources associated with it.

This method is the same as the C function GDALEndAsyncReader().

Parameters
poARIOpointer to a GDALAsyncReader

◆ ExecuteSQL()

OGRLayer * GDALDataset::ExecuteSQL ( const char *  pszStatement,
OGRGeometry poSpatialFilter,
const char *  pszDialect 
)
virtualinherited

Execute an SQL statement against the data store.

The result of an SQL query is either NULL for statements that are in error, or that have no results set, or an OGRLayer pointer representing a results set from the query. Note that this OGRLayer is in addition to the layers in the data store and must be destroyed with ReleaseResultSet() before the dataset is closed (destroyed).

This method is the same as the C function GDALDatasetExecuteSQL() and the deprecated OGR_DS_ExecuteSQL().

For more information on the SQL dialect supported internally by OGR review the OGR SQL document. Some drivers (i.e. Oracle and PostGIS) pass the SQL directly through to the underlying RDBMS.

Starting with OGR 1.10, the SQLITE dialect can also be used.

In GDAL 1.X, this method used to be in the OGRDataSource class.

Parameters
pszStatementthe SQL statement to execute.
poSpatialFiltergeometry which represents a spatial filter. Can be NULL.
pszDialectallows control of the statement dialect. If set to NULL, the OGR SQL engine will be used, except for RDBMS drivers that will use their dedicated SQL engine, unless OGRSQL is explicitly passed as the dialect. Starting with OGR 1.10, the SQLITE dialect can also be used.
Returns
an OGRLayer containing the results of the query. Deallocate with ReleaseResultSet().

◆ FlushCache()

CPLErr GDALDataset::FlushCache ( bool  bAtClosing = false)
virtualinherited

Flush all write cached data to disk.

Any raster (or other GDAL) data written via GDAL calls, but buffered internally will be written to disk.

The default implementation of this method just calls the FlushCache() method on each of the raster bands and the SyncToDisk() method on each of the layers. Conceptually, calling FlushCache() on a dataset should include any work that might be accomplished by calling SyncToDisk() on layers in that dataset.

Using this method does not prevent use from calling GDALClose() to properly close a dataset and ensure that important data not addressed by FlushCache() is written in the file.

This method is the same as the C function GDALFlushCache().

Parameters
bAtClosingWhether this is called from a GDALDataset destructor
Returns
CE_None in case of success (note: return value added in GDAL 3.7)

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset, and GNMGenericNetwork.

◆ GetBands()

GDALDataset::Bands GDALDataset::GetBands ( )
inherited

Function that returns an iterable object over GDALRasterBand in the dataset.

This is a C++ iterator friendly version of GetRasterBand().

Typical use is:

{
std::cout << "Band << poBand->GetDescription() << std::endl;
}

◆ GetCompressionFormats()

CPLStringList GDALDataset::GetCompressionFormats ( int  nXOff,
int  nYOff,
int  nXSize,
int  nYSize,
int  nBandCount,
const int *  panBandList 
)
virtualinherited

Return the compression formats that can be natively obtained for the window of interest and requested bands.

For example, a tiled dataset may be able to return data in a compressed format if the window of interest matches exactly a tile. For some formats, drivers may also be able to merge several tiles together (not currently implemented though).

Each format string is a pseudo MIME type, whose first part can be passed as the pszFormat argument of ReadCompressedData(), with additional parameters specified as key=value with a semi-colon separator.

The amount and types of optional parameters passed after the MIME type is format dependent, and driver dependent (some drivers might not be able to return those extra information without doing a rather costly processing).

For example, a driver might return "JPEG;frame_type=SOF0_baseline;" "bit_depth=8;num_components=3;subsampling=4:2:0;colorspace=YCbCr", and consequently "JPEG" can be passed as the pszFormat argument of ReadCompressedData(). For JPEG, implementations can use the GDALGetCompressionFormatForJPEG() helper method to generate a string like above from a JPEG codestream.

Several values might be returned. For example, the JPEGXL driver will return "JXL", but also potentially "JPEG" if the JPEGXL codestream includes a JPEG reconstruction box.

In the general case this method will return an empty list.

This is the same as C function GDALDatasetGetCompressionFormats().

Parameters
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
nBandCountthe number of bands being requested.
panBandListthe list of nBandCount band numbers. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands.
Returns
a list of compatible formats (which may be empty)

For example, to check if native compression format(s) are available on the whole image:

const CPLStringList aosFormats =
poDataset->GetCompressionFormats(0, 0,
poDataset->GetRasterXSize(),
poDataset->GetRasterYSize(),
poDataset->GetRasterCount(),
nullptr);
for( const char* pszFormat: aosFormats )
{
// Remove optional parameters and just print out the MIME type.
const CPLStringList aosTokens(CSLTokenizeString2(pszFormat, ";", 0));
printf("Found format %s\n, aosTokens[0]);
}

GDAL 3.7

◆ GetDescription()

const char * GDALMajorObject::GetDescription ( ) const
virtualinherited

Fetch object description.

The semantics of the returned description are specific to the derived type. For GDALDatasets it is the dataset name. For GDALRasterBands it is actually a description (if supported) or "".

This method is the same as the C function GDALGetDescription().

Returns
non-null pointer to internal description string.

◆ GetDriver()

GDALDriver * GDALDataset::GetDriver ( void  )
virtualinherited

Fetch the driver to which this dataset relates.

This method is the same as the C GDALGetDatasetDriver() function.

Returns
the driver on which the dataset was created with GDALOpen() or GDALCreate().

◆ GetDriverName()

const char * GDALDataset::GetDriverName ( )
virtualinherited

Return driver name.

Returns
driver name.

◆ GetEstimatedRAMUsage()

GIntBig GDALDataset::GetEstimatedRAMUsage ( )
virtualinherited

Return the intrinsic RAM usage of this dataset.

The returned value should take into account caches in the underlying driver and decoding library, but not the usage related to the GDAL block cache.

At time of writing, this method is only implemented in the JP2OpenJPEG driver. For single-tiled JPEG2000 images, the decoding of the image, even partially, involves allocating at least width * height * number_of_bands * sizeof(uint32_t) bytes inside the libopenjp2 library.

This method is used by the GDALDatasetPool class, itself used by the GDAL VRT driver, to determine how long a dataset in the pool must be kept open, given the RAM usage of the dataset with respect to the usable total RAM.

Since
GDAL 3.7
Returns
RAM usage in bytes, or -1 if unknown (the default implementation returns -1)

◆ GetFeatures()

GDALDataset::Features GDALDataset::GetFeatures ( )
inherited

Function that return an iterable object over features in the dataset layer.

This is a C++ iterator friendly version of GetNextFeature().

Using this iterator for standard range-based loops is safe, but due to implementation limitations, you shouldn't try to access (dereference) more than one iterator step at a time, since the FeatureLayerPair reference which is returned is reused.

Typical use is:

for( auto&& oFeatureLayerPair: poDS->GetFeatures() )
{
std::cout << "Feature of layer " <<
oFeatureLayerPair.layer->GetName() << std::endl;
oFeatureLayerPair.feature->DumpReadable();
}

the field domain, or nullptr if not found.
Since
GDAL 3.3

◆ GetFieldDomainNames()

std::vector< std::string > GDALDataset::GetFieldDomainNames ( CSLConstList  papszOptions = nullptr) const
virtualinherited

Returns a list of the names of all field domains stored in the dataset.

Note
The default implementation assumes that drivers fully populate m_oMapFieldDomains when opening a dataset. If this assumption is incorrect then a specialized implementation of GetFieldDomainNames() must be implemented.
Parameters
papszOptionsDriver specific options determining how attributes should be retrieved. Pass nullptr for default behavior.
Returns
list of field domain names
Since
GDAL 3.5

◆ GetFileList()

char ** GDALDataset::GetFileList ( void  )
virtualinherited

Fetch files forming dataset.

Returns a list of files believed to be part of this dataset. If it returns an empty list of files it means there is believed to be no local file system files associated with the dataset (for instance a virtual dataset). The returned file list is owned by the caller and should be deallocated with CSLDestroy().

The returned filenames will normally be relative or absolute paths depending on the path used to originally open the dataset. The strings will be UTF-8 encoded.

This method is the same as the C GDALGetFileList() function.

Returns
NULL or a NULL terminated array of file names.

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset, and GNMNetwork.

◆ GetGCPCount()

int GDALDataset::GetGCPCount ( )
virtualinherited

Get number of GCPs.

This method is the same as the C function GDALGetGCPCount().

Returns
number of GCPs for this dataset. Zero if there are none.

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset.

◆ GetGCPProjection()

const char * GDALDataset::GetGCPProjection ( )
inherited

Get output projection for GCPs.

This method is the same as the C function GDALGetGCPProjection().

The projection string follows the normal rules from GetProjectionRef().

Note
Starting with GDAL 3.0, this is a compatibility layer around GetGCPSpatialRef()
Returns
internal projection string or "" if there are no GCPs. It should not be altered, freed or expected to last for long.

◆ GetGCPs()

const GDAL_GCP * GDALDataset::GetGCPs ( )
virtualinherited

Fetch GCPs.

This method is the same as the C function GDALGetGCPs().

Returns
pointer to internal GCP structure list. It should not be modified, and may change on the next GDAL call.

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset.

◆ GetGCPSpatialRef()

const OGRSpatialReference * GDALDataset::GetGCPSpatialRef ( ) const
virtualinherited

Get output spatial reference system for GCPs.

Same as the C function GDALGetGCPSpatialRef().

When a SRS is not available, null is returned. If used on a dataset where there is a geotransform, and not GCPs, this method returns null. Use GetSpatialRef() instead.

Since
GDAL 3.0
Returns
a pointer to an internal object. It should not be altered or freed. Its lifetime will be the one of the dataset object, or until the next call to this method.

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset.

◆ GetGeoTransform()

CPLErr GDALDataset::GetGeoTransform ( double *  padfTransform)
virtualinherited

Fetch the affine transformation coefficients.

Fetches the coefficients for transforming between pixel/line (P,L) raster space, and projection coordinates (Xp,Yp) space.

Xp = padfTransform[0] + P*padfTransform[1] + L*padfTransform[2];
Yp = padfTransform[3] + P*padfTransform[4] + L*padfTransform[5];

In a north up image, padfTransform[1] is the pixel width, and padfTransform[5] is the pixel height. The upper left corner of the upper left pixel is at position (padfTransform[0],padfTransform[3]).

The default transform is (0,1,0,0,0,1) and should be returned even when a CE_Failure error is returned, such as for formats that don't support transformation to projection coordinates.

This method does the same thing as the C GDALGetGeoTransform() function.

Parameters
padfTransforman existing six double buffer into which the transformation will be placed.
Returns
CE_None on success, or CE_Failure if no transform can be fetched.

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset.

◆ GetInternalHandle()

void * GDALDataset::GetInternalHandle ( const char *  pszHandleName)
virtualinherited

Fetch a format specific internally meaningful handle.

This method is the same as the C GDALGetInternalHandle() method.

Parameters
pszHandleNamethe handle name desired. The meaningful names will be specific to the file format.
Returns
the desired handle value, or NULL if not recognized/supported.

◆ GetLayer()

OGRLayer * GDALDataset::GetLayer ( int  iLayer)
virtualinherited

Fetch a layer by index.

The returned layer remains owned by the GDALDataset and should not be deleted by the application.

See GetLayers() for a C++ iterator version of this method.

In GDAL 1.X, this method used to be in the OGRDataSource class.

Parameters
pszNamethe layer name of the layer to fetch.
Returns
the layer, or NULL if Layer is not found or an error occurs.

◆ GetLayerCount()

int GDALDataset::GetLayerCount ( )
virtualinherited

◆ GetMetadata()

char ** GDALDataset::GetMetadata ( const char *  pszDomain = "")
overridevirtualinherited

Fetch metadata.

The returned string list is owned by the object, and may change at any time. It is formatted as a "Name=value" list with the last pointer value being NULL. Use the CPL StringList functions such as CSLFetchNameValue() to manipulate it.

Note that relatively few formats return any metadata at this time.

This method does the same thing as the C function GDALGetMetadata().

Parameters

Returns
NULL or a string list.

Reimplemented from GDALMajorObject.

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset.

◆ GetMetadataDomainList()

◆ GetMetadataItem()

const char * GDALMajorObject::GetMetadataItem ( const char *  pszName,
const char *  pszDomain = ""

Fetch single metadata item.

The C function GDALGetMetadataItem() does the same thing as this method.

Parameters
pszNamethe key for the metadata item to fetch.
pszDomainthe domain to fetch for, use NULL for the default domain.
Returns
NULL on failure to find the key, or a pointer to an internal copy of the value string on success.

Reimplemented in GDALPamDataset, GDALRasterBand, and GDALPluginDriverProxy.

◆ GetMOFlags()

int GDALMajorObject::GetMOFlags ( ) const
inherited

Returns the GMO_ flags.

Returns
flags

◆ GetNextFeature()

OGRFeature * GDALDataset::GetNextFeature ( OGRLayer **  ppoBelongingLayer,
double *  pdfProgressPct,
GDALProgressFunc  pfnProgress,
void *  pProgressData 
)
virtualinherited

Fetch the next available feature from this dataset.

This method is intended for the few drivers where OGRLayer::GetNextFeature() is not efficient, but in general OGRLayer::GetNextFeature() is a more natural API.

See GetFeatures() for a C++ iterator version of this method.

The returned feature becomes the responsibility of the caller to delete with OGRFeature::DestroyFeature().

Depending on the driver, this method may return features from layers in a non sequential way. This is what may happen when the ODsCRandomLayerRead capability is declared (for example for the OSM and GMLAS drivers). When datasets declare this capability, it is strongly advised to use GDALDataset::GetNextFeature() instead of OGRLayer::GetNextFeature(), as the later might have a slow, incomplete or stub implementation.

The default implementation, used by most drivers, will however iterate over each layer, and then over each feature within this layer.

This method takes into account spatial and attribute filters set on layers that will be iterated upon.

The ResetReading() method can be used to start at the beginning again.

Depending on drivers, this may also have the side effect of calling OGRLayer::GetNextFeature() on the layers of this dataset.

This method is the same as the C function GDALDatasetGetNextFeature().

Parameters
ppoBelongingLayera pointer to a OGRLayer* variable to receive the layer to which the object belongs to, or NULL. It is possible that the output of *ppoBelongingLayer to be NULL despite the feature not being NULL.
pdfProgressPcta pointer to a double variable to receive the percentage progress (in [0,1] range), or NULL. On return, the pointed value might be negative if determining the progress is not possible.
pfnProgressa progress callback to report progress (for GetNextFeature() calls that might have a long duration) and offer cancellation possibility, or NULL.
pProgressDatauser data provided to pfnProgress, or NULL
Returns
a feature, or NULL if no more features are available.

◆ GetOpenDatasets()

GDALDataset ** GDALDataset::GetOpenDatasets ( int *  pnCount)
staticinherited

Fetch all open GDAL dataset handles.

This method is the same as the C function GDALGetOpenDatasets().

NOTE: This method is not thread safe. The returned list may change at any time and it should not be freed.

Parameters
pnCountinteger into which to place the count of dataset pointers being returned.
Returns
a pointer to an array of dataset handles.

◆ GetOpenOptions()

char ** GDALDataset::GetOpenOptions ( )
inlineinherited

Return open options.

Returns
open options.

◆ GetProjectionRef()

const char * GDALDataset::GetProjectionRef ( void  ) const
inherited

Fetch the projection definition string for this dataset.

Same as the C function GDALGetProjectionRef().

The returned string defines the projection coordinate system of the image in OpenGIS WKT format. It should be suitable for use with the OGRSpatialReference class.

When a projection definition is not available an empty (but not NULL) string is returned.

Note
Starting with GDAL 3.0, this is a compatibility layer around GetSpatialRef()
Returns
a pointer to an internal projection reference string. It should not be altered, freed or expected to last for long.

inherited

Read/write a region of image data from multiple bands.

This method allows reading a region of one or more GDALRasterBands from this dataset into a buffer, or writing data from a buffer into a region of the GDALRasterBands. It automatically takes care of data type translation if the data type (eBufType) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand. The method also takes care of image decimation / replication if the buffer size (nBufXSize x nBufYSize) is different than the size of the region being accessed (nXSize x nYSize).

The window of interest expressed by (nXOff, nYOff, nXSize, nYSize) should be fully within the raster space, that is nXOff >= 0, nYOff >= 0, nXOff + nXSize <= GetRasterXSize() and nYOff + nYSize <= GetRasterYSize(). If reads larger than the raster space are wished, GDALTranslate() might be used. Or use nLineSpace and a possibly shifted pData value.

The nPixelSpace, nLineSpace and nBandSpace parameters allow reading into or writing from various organization of buffers.

Some formats may efficiently implement decimation into a buffer by reading from lower resolution overview images. The logic of the default implementation in the base class GDALRasterBand is the following one. It computes a target_downscaling_factor from the window of interest and buffer size which is min(nXSize/nBufXSize, nYSize/nBufYSize). It then walks through overviews and will select the first one whose downscaling factor is greater than target_downscaling_factor / 1.2.

Let's assume we have overviews at downscaling factors 2, 4 and 8. The relationship between target_downscaling_factor and the select overview level is the following one:

target_downscaling_factor selected_overview
]0, 2 / 1.2] full resolution band
]2 / 1.2, 4 / 1.2] 2x downsampled band
]4 / 1.2, 8 / 1.2] 4x downsampled band
]8 / 1.2, infinity[ 8x downsampled band

Note that starting with GDAL 3.9, this 1.2 oversampling factor can be modified by setting the GDAL_OVERVIEW_OVERSAMPLING_THRESHOLD configuration option. Also note that starting with GDAL 3.9, when the resampling algorithm specified in psExtraArg->eResampleAlg is different from GRIORA_NearestNeighbour, this oversampling threshold defaults to 1. Consequently if there are overviews of downscaling factor 2, 4 and 8, and the desired downscaling factor is 7.99, the overview of factor 4 will be selected for a non nearest resampling.

For highest performance full resolution data access, read and write on "block boundaries" as returned by GetBlockSize(), or use the ReadBlock() and WriteBlock() methods.

This method is the same as the C GDALDatasetRasterIO() or GDALDatasetRasterIOEx() functions.

Parameters
eRWFlagEither GF_Read to read a region of data, or GF_Write to write a region of data.
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
pDataThe buffer into which the data should be read, or from which it should be written. This buffer must contain at least nBufXSize * nBufYSize * nBandCount words of type eBufType. It is organized in left to right,top to bottom pixel order. Spacing is controlled by the nPixelSpace, and nLineSpace parameters. Note that even with eRWFlag==GF_Write, the content of the buffer might be temporarily modified during the execution of this method (and eventually restored back to its original content), so it is not safe to use a buffer stored in a read-only section of the calling program.
nBufXSizethe width of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
nBufYSizethe height of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the pData data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed. Most driver implementations will use GDALCopyWords64() to perform data type translation.
nBandCountthe number of bands being read or written.
panBandMapthe list of nBandCount band numbers being read/written. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands. (Note: before GDAL 3.10, argument type was "int*", and not "const int*")
nPixelSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one pixel value in pData to the start of the next pixel value within a scanline. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype eBufType is used.
nLineSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one scanline in pData to the start of the next. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype eBufType * nBufXSize is used.
nBandSpacethe byte offset from the start of one bands data to the start of the next. If defaulted (0) the value will be nLineSpace * nBufYSize implying band sequential organization of the data buffer.
psExtraArg(new in GDAL 2.0) pointer to a GDALRasterIOExtraArg structure with additional arguments to specify resampling and progress callback, or NULL for default behavior. The GDAL_RASTERIO_RESAMPLING configuration option can also be defined to override the default resampling to one of BILINEAR, CUBIC, CUBICSPLINE, LANCZOS, AVERAGE or MODE.
Returns
CE_Failure if the access fails, otherwise CE_None.

◆ ReadCompressedData()

CPLErr GDALDataset::ReadCompressedData ( const char *  pszFormat,
int  nXOff,
int  nYOff,
int  nXSize,
int  nYSize,
int  nBandCount,
const int *  panBandList,
void **  ppBuffer,
size_t *  pnBufferSize,
char **  ppszDetailedFormat 
)
virtualinherited

Return the compressed content that can be natively obtained for the window of interest and requested bands.

For example, a tiled dataset may be able to return data in compressed format if the window of interest matches exactly a tile. For some formats, drivers may also be example to merge several tiles together (not currently implemented though).

The implementation should make sure that the content returned forms a valid standalone file. For example, for the GeoTIFF implementation of this method, when extracting a JPEG tile, the method will automatically add the content of the JPEG Huffman and/or quantization tables that might be stored in the TIFF JpegTables tag, and not in tile data itself.

In the general case this method will return CE_Failure.

This is the same as C function GDALDatasetReadCompressedData().

Parameters
pszFormatRequested compression format (e.g. "JPEG", "WEBP", "JXL"). This is the MIME type of one of the values returned by GetCompressionFormats(). The format string is designed to potentially include at a later point key=value optional parameters separated by a semi-colon character. At time of writing, none are implemented. ReadCompressedData() implementations should verify optional parameters and return CE_Failure if they cannot support one of them.
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
nBandCountthe number of bands being requested.
panBandListthe list of nBandCount band numbers. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands.
ppBufferPointer to a buffer to store the compressed data or nullptr. If ppBuffer is not nullptr, then pnBufferSize should also not be nullptr. If ppBuffer is not nullptr, and *ppBuffer is not nullptr, then the provided buffer will be filled with the compressed data, provided that pnBufferSize and *pnBufferSize are not nullptr, and *pnBufferSize, indicating the size of *ppBuffer, is sufficiently large to hold the data. If ppBuffer is not nullptr, but *ppBuffer is nullptr, then the method will allocate *ppBuffer using VSIMalloc(), and thus the caller is responsible to free it with VSIFree(). If ppBuffer is nullptr, then the compressed data itself will not be returned, but *pnBufferSize will be updated with an upper bound of the size that would be necessary to hold it (if pnBufferSize != nullptr).
pnBufferSizeOutput buffer size, or nullptr. If ppBuffer != nullptr && *ppBuffer != nullptr, then pnBufferSize should be != nullptr and *pnBufferSize contain the size of *ppBuffer. If the method is successful, *pnBufferSize will be updated with the actual size used.
ppszDetailedFormatPointer to an output string, or nullptr. If ppszDetailedFormat is not nullptr, then, on success, the method will allocate a new string in *ppszDetailedFormat (to be freed with VSIFree()) *ppszDetailedFormat might contain strings like "JPEG;frame_type=SOF0_baseline;bit_depth=8;num_components=3;" "subsampling=4:2:0;colorspace=YCbCr" or simply the MIME type. The string will contain at least as much information as what GetCompressionFormats() returns, and potentially more when ppBuffer != nullptr.
Returns
CE_None in case of success, CE_Failure otherwise.

For example, to request JPEG content on the whole image and let GDAL deal with the buffer allocation.

void* pBuffer = nullptr;
size_t nBufferSize = 0;
CPLErr eErr =

poStyleTablepointer to style table to set

◆ StartTransaction()

OGRErr GDALDataset::StartTransaction ( int  bForce = FALSE)
virtualinherited

For datasources which support transactions, StartTransaction creates a `transaction.

If starting the transaction fails, will return OGRERR_FAILURE. Datasources which do not support transactions will always return OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION.

Nested transactions are not supported.

All changes done after the start of the transaction are definitely applied in the datasource if CommitTransaction() is called. They may be canceled by calling RollbackTransaction() instead.

At the time of writing, transactions only apply on vector layers.

Datasets that support transactions will advertise the ODsCTransactions capability. Use of transactions at dataset level is generally preferred to transactions at layer level, whose scope is rarely limited to the layer from which it was started.

In case StartTransaction() fails, neither CommitTransaction() or RollbackTransaction() should be called.

If an error occurs after a successful StartTransaction(), the whole transaction may or may not be implicitly canceled, depending on drivers. (e.g. the PG driver will cancel it, SQLite/GPKG not). In any case, in the event of an error, an explicit call to RollbackTransaction() should be done to keep things balanced.

By default, when bForce is set to FALSE, only "efficient" transactions will be attempted. Some drivers may offer an emulation of transactions, but sometimes with significant overhead, in which case the user must explicitly allow for such an emulation by setting bForce to TRUE. Drivers that offer emulated transactions should advertise the ODsCEmulatedTransactions capability (and not ODsCTransactions).

This function is the same as the C function GDALDatasetStartTransaction().

Parameters
bForcecan be set to TRUE if an emulation, possibly slow, of a transaction mechanism is acceptable.
Returns
OGRERR_NONE on success.

◆ TestCapability()

int GDALDataset::TestCapability ( const char *  pszCap)
virtualinherited

Test if capability is available.

One of the following dataset capability names can be passed into this method, and a TRUE or FALSE value will be returned indicating whether or not the capability is available for this object.

  • ODsCCreateLayer: True if this datasource can create new layers.

  • ODsCDeleteLayer: True if this datasource can delete existing layers.

  • ODsCCreateGeomFieldAfterCreateLayer: True if the layers of this datasource support CreateGeomField() just after layer creation.

  • ODsCCurveGeometries: True if this datasource supports curve geometries.

  • ODsCTransactions: True if this datasource supports (efficient) transactions.

  • ODsCEmulatedTransactions: True if this datasource supports transactions through emulation.

  • ODsCRandomLayerRead: True if this datasource has a dedicated GetNextFeature() implementation, potentially returning features from layers in a non sequential way.

  • ODsCRandomLayerWrite: True if this datasource supports calling CreateFeature() on layers in a non sequential way.

The #define macro forms of the capability names should be used in preference to the strings themselves to avoid misspelling.

This method is the same as the C function GDALDatasetTestCapability() and the deprecated OGR_DS_TestCapability().

In GDAL 1.X, this method used to be in the OGRDataSource class.

Parameters
pszCapthe capability to test.
Returns
TRUE if capability available otherwise FALSE.

Reimplemented in GNMGenericNetwork.

◆ ToHandle() [1/2]

static GDALDatasetH GDALDataset::ToHandle ( GDALDataset poDS)
inlinestaticinherited

Convert a GDALDataset* to a GDALDatasetH.

GDAL 2.3

◆ ToHandle() [2/2]

static GDALMajorObjectH GDALMajorObject::ToHandle ( GDALMajorObject poMajorObject)
inlinestaticinherited

Convert a GDALMajorObject* to a GDALMajorObjectH.

Since
GDAL 2.3

◆ UpdateFieldDomain()

bool GDALDataset::UpdateFieldDomain ( std::unique_ptr< OGRFieldDomain > &&  domain,
std::string &  failureReason 
)
virtualinherited

Updates an existing field domain by replacing its definition.

The existing field domain with matching name will be replaced.

Only a few drivers will support this operation, and some of them might only support it only for some types of field domains. At the time of writing (GDAL 3.5), only the Memory driver supports this operation. A dataset having at least some support for this operation should report the ODsCUpdateFieldDomain dataset capability.

Anticipated failures will not be emitted through the CPLError() infrastructure, but will be reported in the failureReason output parameter.

Parameters
domainThe domain definition.
failureReasonOutput parameter. Will contain an error message if an error occurs.
Returns
true in case of success.
Since
GDAL 3.5

◆ UpdateRelationship()

bool GDALDataset::UpdateRelationship ( std::unique_ptr< GDALRelationship > &&  relationship,
std::string &  failureReason 
)
virtualinherited

Updates an existing relationship by replacing its definition.

The existing relationship with matching name will be replaced.

Only a few drivers will support this operation, and some of them might only support it only for some types of relationships. A dataset having at least some support for this operation should report the GDsCUpdateRelationship dataset capability.

Anticipated failures will not be emitted through the CPLError() infrastructure, but will be reported in the failureReason output parameter.

Parameters
relationshipThe relationship definition.
failureReasonOutput parameter. Will contain an error message if an error occurs.
Returns
true in case of success.
