QSqlTableModel and UI

Mark81

Using QSqlTableModel might be useful when you have to show and edit data from an SQL table.
Usually I add some buttons on the side of the table to allow basic functions like "add", "remove", etc...
I just wonder if these function may be handled by the widget natively, like the EditStrategy property does.

Hi,

What do you mean by natively ? It's not really clear.

Check InsertProxyModel of this library if it's what you had in mind.
Examples of useage are available here

For the remove part I can't really see what "native" would be like

Thanks.
I mean: if you use the EditStrategy feature, you don't need a QPushButton to commit the changes (or catch a signal when the user change the cell/row). But you still need buttons for add and remove rows. For me "natively" means the same thing: usually a blank row at the end allows to add a new record without using an external button. To remove a row, it would be enough a QToolButton X on the vertical header, for example.

I'm aware I can do all this stuff by myself - and that what I usually do. I just wondered if they provided some basic UI for interact with the database (something like the "navigation toolbar" in .NET).

This is nothing I've evere seen as a "standard" so yeah, you have to implement it yourself but it should be straightforward
