DB.TProviderFlag Enumeration

TProviderFlag and TProviderFlags indicate how a provider uses a field value when applying updates.

Pascal

TProviderFlag = (
  pfInUpdate,
  pfInWhere,
  pfInKey,
  pfHidden
);

C++

enum TProviderFlag {
  pfInUpdate,
  pfInWhere,
  pfInKey,
  pfHidden
};

TProviderFlags is a set of TProviderFlag values. The following table lists the TProviderFlag values:

Value	Meaning
pfInUpdate	The field can be included in UPDATE statements. (That is, it can be modified)
pfInWhere	The field is included in the WHERE clause when the provider's UpdateMode is upWhereAll or upWhereChanged.
pfInKey	The field is included in the WHERE clause when the provider's UpdateMode is upWhereKeyOnly.
pfHidden	The field is included in data packets to ensure the uniqueness of records so that they can be correctly updated. It can't be seen or used by the receiving client dataset.
