But I have to * port the PIM datebook application to use it, before I could debug the * whole stuff. * Thus, PIM-Database backend is finished, but highly experimental. And some * parts are still generic. For instance, the "queryByExample()" methods are * not (or not fully) implemented. Todo: custom-entries not stored. * The big show stopper: matchRegExp() (needed by OpieSearch) needs regular * expression search in the database, which is not supported by sqlite ! * Therefore we need either an extended sqlite or a workaround which would * be very slow and memory consuming.. * * Revision 1.9 2003/08/01 12:30:16 eilers * Merging changes from BRANCH_1_0 to HEAD * * Revision 1.8.2.1 2003/06/30 14:34:19 eilers * Patches from Zecke: * Fixing and cleaning up extraMap handling * Adding d_ptr for binary compatibility in the future * * Revision 1.8 2003/05/08 13:55:09 tille * search stuff * and match, toRichText & toShortText in oevent * * Revision 1.7 2003/04/13 18:07:10 zecke * More API doc * QString -> const QString& * QString = 0l -> QString::null * * Revision 1.6 2003/01/02 14:27:12 eilers * Improved query by example: Search by date is possible.. First step * for a today plugin for birthdays.. * * Revision 1.5 2002/11/13 14:14:51 eilers * Added sorted for Contacts.. * * Revision 1.4 2002/11/01 15:10:42 eilers * Added regExp-search in database for all fields in a contact. * * Revision 1.3 2002/10/16 10:52:40 eilers * Added some docu to the interface and now using the cache infrastucture by zecke.. :) * * Revision 1.2 2002/10/14 16:21:54 eilers * Some minor interface updates * * Revision 1.1 2002/09/27 17:11:44 eilers * Added API for accessing the Contact-Database ! It is compiling, but * please do not expect that anything is working ! * I will debug that stuff in the next time .. * Please read README_COMPILE for compiling ! * * ===================================================================== */ #ifndef _OCONTACTACCESS_H #define _OCONTACTACCESS_H #include #include #include #include #include "ocontact.h" #include "ocontactaccessbackend.h" #include "opimaccesstemplate.h" /** * Class to access the contacts database. * This is just a frontend for the real database handling which is * done by the backend. * This class is used to access the Contacts on a system.
