## Description

The GdaDataAccessWrapper object simply wraps another GdaDataModel data model object and allows data to be accessed in a random way while remaining memory efficient as much as possible.

## Details

### struct GdaDataAccessWrapper

    struct GdaDataAccessWrapper;

### struct GdaDataAccessWrapperClass

    struct GdaDataAccessWrapperClass {
    	GObjectClass                   parent_class;
    };

### GdaDataAccessWrapperPrivate

    typedef struct _GdaDataAccessWrapperPrivate GdaDataAccessWrapperPrivate;

### gda_data_access_wrapper_new ()

    GdaDataModel *      gda_data_access_wrapper_new         (GdaDataModel *model);

Creates a new GdaDataModel object which buffers the rows of `model`. This object is useful only if `model` can only be accessed using cursor based method.

`model` : | a GdaDataModel
Returns : | a pointer to the newly created GdaDataModel. [transfer full]

### gda_data_access_wrapper_set_mapping ()

    gboolean            gda_data_access_wrapper_set_mapping (GdaDataAccessWrapper *wrapper,
                                                             const gint *mapping,
                                                             gint mapping_size);

`wrapper` will report as many columns as `mapping_size`, and for each value at position 'i' in `mapping`, `wrapper` will report the 'i'th column, mapped to the wrapped data model column at position mapping[i]. For example if mapping is {3, 4, 0}, then `wrapper` will report 3 columns, respectively mapped to the 4th, 5th and 1st columns of the wrapped data model (as column numbers start at 0).

If `mapping` is `NULL`, then no mapping is done and `wrapper`'s columns will be the same as the wrapped data model.

If a column in `mapping` does not exist in the wrapped data model, then it is simply ignored (no error reported).

Please note that if `wrapper` has already been used and if the wrapped data model offers a cursor forward access mode, then this method will return `FALSE` and no action will be done.

If the mapping is applied, then any existing iterator will be invalid, and `wrapper` is reset as if it had just been created.

`wrapper` : | a GdaDataAccessWrapper object
`mapping` : | an array of gint which represents the mapping between `wrapper`'s columns and the columns of the wrapped data model. [allow-none][array length=mapping_size]
`mapping_size` : | the size of `mapping`.
Returns : | `TRUE` if the mapping actually changed

Since 5.2
