Note: this is with SQLite, although I expect the problem is on the Qt side.
First, I set up a database table from the SQLite command line tool:
sqlite> create table testtable ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, state INTEGER );
sqlite> insert into testtable (state) values (0);
sqlite> insert into testtable (state) values (1);
sqlite> insert into testtable (state) values (9);
sqlite> insert into testtable (state) values (20);
Then I test my query:
sqlite> SELECT id,state FROM testtable WHERE state IN (0,1,2);
1|0
3|1
(Those are expected results.)
Then I run this C++ code:
void runQuery() {
QSqlQuery qq;
qq.prepare( "SELECT id,state FROM testtable WHERE state IN (:states)");
QList<QVariant> statesList = QList<QVariant>();
statesList.append(0);
statesList.append(1);
statesList.append(2);
qq.bindValue(":states", statesList);
qq.exec();
qDebug() << "before";
while( qq.next() ) {
qDebug() << qq.value(0).toInt() << qq.value(1).toInt();
}
qDebug() << "after";
}
which prints this:
before
after
No rows were printed. I assume this is because I can't bind a list directly to a placeholder in an "in" clause. But is there a way to do it? I haven't been able to find anything about this.
Never mind my question. I think what I am trying to do is not possible with prepared statements, regardless of the framework or RDBMS. You can do "WHERE x IN (?)", but then the '?' refers to an single value -- it cannot be a list of values; or you can do "WHERE x IN (?,?,?), and each '?' needs to be bound separately.
Example:
QString const queryText = "SELECT id, firstname FROM users WHERE id IN (%1)";
QVector<int> const ids { /* ... */ };
QVector<QString> const placeholders(ids.size(), "?");
QSqlQuery query(db);
query.prepare(queryText.arg(QStringList::fromVector(placeholders).join(", ")));
for (auto const & i : ids)
query.addBindValue(i);
query.exec();
