Creates a URI for use with QgsVectorLayerExporter corresponding to given destination
table options for the backend. The URI format and extra options which
need to be passed to QgsVectorLayerExporter differ from provider to
provider, so this new method gives us a consistent, generic method we
can call to safely generate the right URI and options in a
cross-provider way.
Implemented for all database connection providers.
This is the implementation of the new DB connections API (grant proposal 2019).
Summary
The new API makes it available to QGIS core a new interface for provider connections and will allow to:
replace the provider specific QgsSettings management in QGIS4 (save/load connections from the settings) NOT IN SCOPE FOR NOW.
provide a unified API for common operations on DB connections:
executeSql and get the results
list tables names and properties and schemas
create a new vector table (no rasters for now)
create/rename/drop schemas and tables
vacuum
....
