Class: QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection

class qgis.core.QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection(name: str)

Bases: QgsAbstractProviderConnection

Creates a new connection with name by reading its configuration from the settings. If a connection with this name cannot be found, an empty connection will be returned.

QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection(uri: str, configuration: Dict[str, Any]) Creates a new connection from the given uri and configuration. The connection is not automatically stored in the settings.

QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection(QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection)

The QgsAbstractDatabaseProviderConnection class provides common functionality for DB based connections.

This class performs low level DB operations without asking the user for confirmation or handling currently opened layers and the registry entries, it is responsibility of the client code to keep layers in sync. The class methods will throw exceptions in case the requested operation is not supported or cannot be performed without errors.

New in version 3.10.
