Detailed Description
Stream data from the database.
Retrieving data this way is likely to be faster than executing a query and then iterating and converting the rows fields. You will also be able to start processing before all of the data has come in.
There are also downsides. If there's an error, it may leave the entire connection in an unusable state, so you'll have to give the whole thing up. Also, your connection to the database may break before you've received all the data, so you may end up processing only part of the data. Finally, opening a stream puts the connection in a special state, so you won't be able to do many other things with the connection or the transaction while the stream is open.
There are two ways of starting a stream: you stream either all rows in a table (in which case, use a constructor which accepts pqxx::from_table), or the results of a query (in which case, use a concstructor which accepts pqxx::from_query).
Usually you'll want the stream convenience wrapper in transaction_base, so you don't need to deal with this class directly.

◆ stream_from() [1/7]
| pqxx::stream_from::stream_from | ( | transaction_base & | tx, |
| from_query_t | , | ||
| std::string_view | query | ||
| ) |
Execute query, and stream over the results.
The query can be a SELECT query or a VALUES query; or it can be an UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE with a RETURNING clause.
The query is executed as part of a COPY statement, so there are additional restrictions on what kind of query you can use here. See the PostgreSQL documentation for the COPY command:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-copy.html

◆ stream_from() [2/7]
| pqxx::stream_from::stream_from | ( | transaction_base & | tx, |
| from_table_t | , | ||
| std::string_view | table | ||
| ) |
Stream all rows in table, all columns.
The table name cannot include a schema name. If you need to specify a schema name, stream from a query rather than from a table.

Member Function Documentation
◆ complete()
| void pqxx::stream_from::complete | ( | ) |
Finish this stream. Call this before continuing to use the connection.
Consumes all remaining lines, and closes the stream.
This may take a while if you're abandoning the stream before it's done, so skip it in error scenarios where you're not planning to use the connection again afterwards.
References get_raw_line(), and pqxx::ignore_unused().
◆ get_raw_line()
| pqxx::stream_from::raw_line pqxx::stream_from::get_raw_line | ( | ) |
Read a raw line of text from the COPY command.
- Warning
- Do not use this unless you really know what you're doing.
Referenced by complete(), and pqxx::stream_to::operator<<().
◆ iter()
| auto pqxx::stream_from::iter | ( | ) |
Iterate over this stream. Supports range-based "for" loops.
Produces an input iterator over the stream.
Do not call this yourself. Use it like "for (auto data : stream.iter())".
◆ operator bool()
|
noexcept |
◆ operator!()
|
noexcept |
◆ operator>>() [1/2]
| stream_from & pqxx::stream_from::operator>> | ( | Tuple & | t | ) |
Read one row into a tuple.
Converts the row's fields into the fields making up the tuple.
For a column which can contain nulls, be sure to give the corresponding tuple field a type which can be null. For example, to read a field as int when it may contain nulls, read it as std::optional<int>. Using std::shared_ptr or std::unique_ptr will also work.
References pqxx::internal::throw_null_conversion().
◆ operator>>() [2/2]
|
delete |
Doing this with a std::variant is going to be horrifically borked.
◆ read_row()
| std::vector< pqxx::zview > const * pqxx::stream_from::read_row | ( | ) |
Read a row. Return fields as views, valid until you read the next row.
Returns nullptr when there are no more rows to read. Do not attempt to read any further rows after that.
Do not access the vector, or the storage referenced by the views, after closing or completing the stream, or after attempting to read a next row.
A pqxx::zview is like a std::string_view, but with the added guarantee that if its data pointer is non-null, the string is followed by a terminating zero (which falls just outside the view itself).
If any of the views' data pointer is null, that means that the corresponding SQL field is null.
- Warning
- The return type may change in the future, to support C++20 coroutine-based usage.
