How to get data from sqlquery that result 3 columns in a row and show only 1 Colum and use the other columns data

[andre]

[quote author="umen242" date="1333364703"]im using QSortFilterProxyModel to filter column that im getting from QSqlQueryModel model but becose the filterAcceptsColumn method is const "all the way" i have problem to set Qt::UserRole data in the right index . how can i overcome this?

I fail to understand why you'd need to modify the model from your filterAcceptsColumn() implementation.

very simple , sorry im not native English speaker so the semantics are wrong (most of the time..).
what im trying to do is very simple ( very simple in the logic of it )

1. run sql query that returns 3 columns in each row ("select foo1,foo2,foo3 from tbl")
2. use the data from column 1 and 2 ( concat the 2 strings )
3. set it to column 3 Qt::UserRole placeholder ( i need it for later use ) that in the end becomes the only row that is displayed
   4 this is for each row / record that returns from the sql query

[andre]

OK. You don't need to modify the model at all for that. In either your base model or the proxy model, I would just reimplement the data method to return the right value for your Qt::UserRole for the column you're after. The filterAcceptsColumn method has nothing to do with that.

well i have reimplement the data method in the QSqlQueryModel
it looks like this :
@QVariant MiniSqlModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
{
QVariant value;
int c = index.column(); //HERE IT IS ALWAYS == 2
int r = index.row();
value = QSqlQueryModel::data(index, role);
QString s = value.toString();
if(role == Qt::DisplayRole)
{
value = QSqlQueryModel::data(index, role);
QString s = value.toString();
}

return value;
}@

the problem is that im getting only the last column (2) and i dont have the data of the other 2 .
the only place i managed to catch the data of the first 2 columns (0,1) is in the filterAcceptsColumn method of the proxy .

i missing here something small .. i feel i realy close to solve this . ( already 5 days .. )

Of course! Your proxy model only has one column! That's what you wanted to achieve, after all...
Your source model will still have all three columns, so you can still query these from the data method of proxy model.

Edit:
I would do something like this:
@
MyProxyModel::data(const QModelIndex& index, int role) const
{
if (!sourceModel())
return QVariant(); //we don't do useful things without a source model

if (index.column() == 0 && role == Qt::UserRole) {
//get the merged data from the underlying model
QModelIndex sourceIndex = mapToSource(index);
if (!sourceIndex.isValid())
return QVariant(); //you never know, right?

QModelIndex col1Index = sourceModel()->index(sourceIndex.row(), 0, sourceIndex.parent());
QString column1 = col1Index.data(Qt::DisplayRole).toString();
QModelIndex col2Index = sourceModel()->index(sourceIndex.row(), 1, sourceIndex.parent());
QString column2 = col1Index.data(Qt::DisplayRole).toString();

QString result = column1 + " - " + column2;
return QVariant(result);

}
return QSortFilterProxyModel(index, role);
}

Note: the above is untested, just typed into the editor directly.

no its the opposite, the data function is in the QSqlQueryModel.
i dont understand this :
@"...so you can still query these from the data method of proxy model...."@

how ? where ?

do you mean i need to implement the data method of the proxy ?

See the edit to my post above for an example.

Thanks very much i will try it now

[andre]

Note that this example does not try to modify any data. It just changes whatever it tells the user of the model is the data in it. Also note that I did not implement setData(). If you need to support setData too (for this role), things will quickly become more complicated...

[umen242]

hi i tryed you example , and there is 2 problems and that i dont understand
first one is that when it is:
@if (index.column() == 0 && role == Qt::UserRole) {@
it never enter the if , but when i change it to
@if (c == 0 && role == Qt::DisplayRole) {@

it does Enter , but as expected the joined string is displayed in the row displayRole
how can i put it in the UserRole?

[andre]

Of course it is not entered, it is only entered when the UserRole is actually requested. That is how it ends up "in" the display role. The role is only the argument you pass to the data() function. Nothing more, nothing less. The normal delegates don't query for the UserRole (they only need the standard roles).

[umen242]

ok so how do i trigger it to be requested ? so i finally could set it

[andre]

You simply request the data manually, where you need it. I assume you set this dat to the userRole for a reason, right? And that reason is presumably that you need this bit of information somewhere. So, how about actually requesting the data where you need it? It would be as simple as getting the right QModelIndex (that is: an index pointing to your proxy model; your view may supply it), and calling data(Qt::UserRole) on it.

finally !
this wasn't trivial at all man . its working thanks to you .
thanks!
