Any query (which can be of any type, see the GnomeDbQueryType enum) can be represented by a GnomeDbQuery object. Also a query may require some parameters to be provided before in can be executed; each parameter is then represented by a GnomeDbParameter object, and parameters required for a query are organised within a GnomeDbDataSet object.
It implements the GnomeDbEntity, GnomeDbXmlStorage, GnomeDbReferer and GnomeDbRenderer interfaces.

GObject* gnome_db_query_new_from_sql (GnomeDbDict *dict, const gchar *sql, GError **error);
Creates a new GnomeDbQuery object and fills its structure by parsing the sql. If the parsing failed, then the returned query is of type GNOME_DB_QUERY_TYPE_NON_PARSED_SQL.
To be parsed successfully, the expected SQL must respect the SQL standard; some extensions have been added to be able to define variables within the SQL statement. See the introduction to the GnomeDbQuery for more information.
The error is set only if the SQL statement parsing produced an error; there is always a new GnomeDbQuery object which is returned.

gboolean gnome_db_query_add_target (GnomeDbQuery *query, GnomeDbTarget *target, GError **error);

For a SELECT query, the targets appear after the FROM clause. The targets can be joined two by two using GnomeDbJoin objects
For UPDATE, DELETE or INSERT queries, there can be only ONE GnomeDbTarget object which is the one where the data modifications are performed.

Returns : | the GnomeDbTarget object, or NULL if not found |
GSList* gnome_db_query_get_target_pkfields (GnomeDbQuery *query, GnomeDbTarget *target);

For any given couple of GnomeDbTarget objects, there can exist ONLY ONE GnomeDbJoin which joins the two.
query : | a GnomeDbQuery object |
join : | a GnomeDbJoin object |
Returns : | TRUE on success, and FALSE otherwise |

query : | a GnomeDbQuery object |
cond : | a GnomeDbCondition object |
append_as_and : | mode of append if there is already a query condition |
void gnome_db_query_set_order_by_field (GnomeDbQuery *query, GnomeDbQfield *field, gint order, gboolean ascendant);
Sets field to be used in the ORDER BY clause (using the order and ascendant attributes) if order >= 0. If order < 0, then field will not be used in the ORDER BY clause.
query : | a GnomeDbQuery |
field : | a GnomeDbQfield which is in query |
order : | the order in the list of ORDER BY fields (starts at 0), or -1 |

GSList* gnome_db_query_expand_all_field (GnomeDbQuery *query, GnomeDbTarget *target);
Converts each visible "target.*" (GnomeDbQfAll) field into its list of fields. For example "t1.*" becomes "t1.a, t1.b" if table t1 is composed of fields "a" and "b". The original GnomeDbQfAll field is not removed, but simply rendered non visible.
The returned list must be free'd by the caller using g_slist_free().
query : | a GnomeDbQuery object |
target : | a GnomeDbTarget, or NULL |
Returns : | a new list of the GnomeDbQfield objects which have been created |
void gnome_db_query_order_fields_using_join_conds (GnomeDbQuery *query);
