1 The main object to access the DB is the ServerIndex class that is accessible from the ServerContext.
2
3 ServerIndex inherits from StatelessDatabaseOperations.
4
5 StatelessDatabaseOperations owns an IDatabaseWrapper member (db).
6 StatelessDatabaseOperations has 2 internal Transaction classes (ReadOnlyTransactions and ReadWriteTransactions) that implements the DB
7 operations by calling the methods from IDatabaseWrapper:ITransaction.
8
9 IDatabaseWrapper has 2 direct derived classes:
10 - BaseDatabaseWrapper which simply provides a "not implemented" implementation of new methods to its derived classes:
11 - OrthancPluginDatabase that is a legacy plugin interface
12 - OrthancPluginDatabaseV3 that is a legacy plugin interface
13 - SQLiteDatabaseWrapper that is used by the default SQLite DB in Orthanc
14 - OrthancPluginDatabaseV4 that is the latest plugin interface and uses protobuf
15
16 When you add a new method in the DB (e.g: UpdateAndGetStatistics with a new signature), you must:
17 - define it as a member of StatelessDatabaseOperations
18 - define it as a member of StatelessDatabaseOperations::ReadWriteTransactions or StatelessDatabaseOperations::ReadOnlyTransactions
19 - define it as a member of IDatabaseWrapper:ITransaction
20 - define it in OrthancDatabasePlugin.proto (new request + new response + new message)
21 - define it in OrthancPluginDatabaseV4
22 - define a NotImplemented default implementation in BaseDatabaseWrapper
23 - optionally define it in SQLiteDatabaseWrapper if it can be implemented in SQLite
24 - very likely define it as a DbCapabilities in IDatabaseWrapper::DbCapabilities (e.g: Has/SetUpdateAndGetStatistics()) such that the Orthanc
25 core knows if it can use it or not.
26
27 Then, in the orthanc-databases repo, you should:
28 - define it as a virtual member of IDatabaseBackend
29 - define it as a member of IndexBackend
30 - add a handler for the new protobuf message in DatabaseBackendAdapterV4
