Detailed Description

Class to manipulate the definition of a virtual layer.

It is used to extract parameters from an initial virtual layer definition as well as to store the complete, expanded definition once types have been detected.

QgsVirtualLayerDefinition QgsVirtualLayerDefinition::fromUrl ( const QUrl & url )

static

Constructor to build a definition from a QUrl The path part of the URL is extracted as well as the following optional keys: layer_ref=layer_id[:name] represents a live layer referenced by its ID.

An optional name can be given layer=provider:source[:name[:encoding]] represents a layer given by its provider key, its source url (URL-encoded). An optional name and encoding can be given geometry=column_name[:type:srid] gives the definition of the geometry column. Type can be either a WKB type code or a string (point, linestring, etc.) srid is an integer uid=column_name is the name of a column with unique integer values. nogeometry is a flag to force the layer to be a non-geometry layer query=sql represents the SQL query. Must be URL-encoded field=column_name:[int|real|text] represents a field with its name and its type
