# qsqlselectcursor(3qt)

Browsing of general SQL SELECT statements

## NAME

QSqlSelectCursor - Browsing of general SQL SELECT statements

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <qsqlselectcursor.h>`

Inherits QSqlCursor.

### Public Members

**QSqlSelectCursor ( const QString & query = QString::null, QSqlDatabase \* db = 0 )**\
 **QSqlSelectCursor ( const QSqlSelectCursor & other )**\
 **~QSqlSelectCursor ()**\

## DESCRIPTION

The QSqlSelectCursor class provides browsing of general SQL SELECT statements.

QSqlSelectCursor is a convenience class that makes it possible to display result sets from general SQL `SELECT` statements in data-aware Qt widgets. QSqlSelectCursor is read-only and does not support `INSERT`, `UPDATE` or `DELETE` operations.

Pass the query in at construction time, or use the QSqlSelectCursor::exec() function.

Example:

```
    ...
    QSqlSelectCursor* cur = new QSqlSelectCursor( "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM author" );
    QDataTable* table = new QDataTable( this );
    table->setSqlCursor( cur, TRUE, TRUE );
    table->refresh();
    ...
    cur->exec( "SELECT * FROM books" );
    table->refresh();
    ...
```
