The ogr provider has two methods named fileVectorFilters()  one inside the class

and one as QGISEXTERN.

 

I added some more functions:

 

QString databaseDrivers();

QString directoryDrivers();

QString protocolDrivers();

 

 

Reviewing the code I found that fileVectorFilters is called through QgsProviderRegistry my question

is if it ok to add all these functions to ogrprovider and their equivalents in QgsProviderRegistry.

 

Also I would like to add a method to ogrprovider to create an ogr uri given its connection parameters

and type, this method needs to be called before an instance of qgsvectorlayer is created

but I didn't found a way to call this method without adding compile time dependencies.

 

I implemented the method directly in qgsopenvectordialog but with new drivers will

be needed to update both ogrprovider and qgsopenvectorlayerdialog.
