 * \ingroup QxDao
 * \brief qx::dao::ptr<T> : provide a classic smart-pointer (like boost::shared_ptr<T> or QSharedPointer<T>) with some features associated with QxDao module of QxOrm library
 *
 * QxOrm can be used with smart-pointers of boost and Qt libraries.
 * QxOrm smart-pointer is based on QSharedPointer and provides new features with qx::dao::xxx functions of QxDao module.
 * qx::dao::ptr<T> keeps automatically values from database.
 * So it's possible to detect if an instance has been modified using the method isDirty() : this method can return list of properties changed.
 * qx::dao::ptr<T> can also be used with the function qx::dao::update_optimized() to update in database only properties changed.
 * qx::dao::ptr<T> can be used with a simple object and with many containers : stl, boost, Qt and qx::QxCollection<Key, Value>.
 *
 * Quick sample using qx::dao::ptr<T> smart-pointer :
 * \code
// Test 'isDirty()' method
qx::dao::ptr<blog> blog_isdirty = qx::dao::ptr<blog>(new blog());
blog_isdirty->m_id = blog_1->m_id;
daoError = qx::dao::fetch_by_id(blog_isdirty);
qAssert(! daoError.isValid() && ! blog_isdirty.isDirty());

blog_isdirty->m_text = "blog property 'text' modified => blog is dirty !!!";
QStringList lstDiff; bool bDirty = blog_isdirty.isDirty(lstDiff);
qAssert(bDirty && (lstDiff.count() == 1) && (lstDiff.at(0) == "blog_text"));
if (bDirty) { qDebug("[QxOrm] test dirty 1 : blog is dirty => '%s'", qPrintable(lstDiff.join("|"))); }

// Update only property 'm_text' of 'blog_isdirty'
daoError = qx::dao::update_optimized(blog_isdirty);
qAssert(! daoError.isValid() && ! blog_isdirty.isDirty());
qx::dump(blog_isdirty);

// Test 'isDirty()' method with a container
typedef qx::dao::ptr< QList<author_ptr> > type_lst_author_test_is_dirty;

type_lst_author_test_is_dirty container_isdirty = type_lst_author_test_is_dirty(new QList<author_ptr>());
daoError = qx::dao::fetch_all(container_isdirty);
qAssert(! daoError.isValid() && ! container_isdirty.isDirty() && (container_isdirty->count() == 3));

author_ptr author_ptr_dirty = container_isdirty->at(1);
author_ptr_dirty->m_name = "author name modified at index 1 => container is dirty !!!";
bDirty = container_isdirty.isDirty(lstDiff);
qAssert(bDirty && (lstDiff.count() == 1));
if (bDirty) { qDebug("[QxOrm] test dirty 2 : container is dirty => '%s'", qPrintable(lstDiff.join("|"))); }

author_ptr_dirty = container_isdirty->at(2);
author_ptr_dirty->m_birthdate = QDate(1998, 03, 06);
bDirty = container_isdirty.isDirty(lstDiff);
qAssert(bDirty && (lstDiff.count() == 2));
if (bDirty) { qDebug("[QxOrm] test dirty 3 : container is dirty => '%s'", qPrintable(lstDiff.join("|"))); }

// Update only property 'm_name' at position 1, only property 'm_birthdate' at position 2 and nothing at position 0
daoError = qx::dao::update_optimized(container_isdirty);
qAssert(! daoError.isValid() && ! container_isdirty.isDirty());
qx::dump(container_isdirty);

// Fetch only property 'm_dt_creation' of blog
QStringList lstColumns = QStringList() << "date_creation";
list_blog lst_blog_with_only_date_creation;
daoError = qx::dao::fetch_all(lst_blog_with_only_date_creation, NULL, lstColumns);
qAssert(! daoError.isValid() && (lst_blog_with_only_date_creation.size() > 0));

if ((lst_blog_with_only_date_creation.size() > 0) && (lst_blog_with_only_date_creation[0] != NULL))
{ qAssert(lst_blog_with_only_date_creation[0]->m_text.isEmpty()); }

qx::dump(lst_blog_with_only_date_creation);
