Method Detail

getTable

public Table getTable()

Return the table of this constraint.

public String getTableName()

Deprecated.

Return the column's table name.

getTableIdentifier

public DBIdentifier getTableIdentifier()

setTableName

public void setTableName(String name)

Deprecated.

Set the column's table name. You can only call this method on columns whose table object is not set.

setTableIdentifier

public void setTableIdentifier(DBIdentifier name)

getSchemaName

public String getSchemaName()

Deprecated.

Return the column table's schema name.

getSchemaIdentifier

public DBIdentifier getSchemaIdentifier()

setSchemaName

public void setSchemaName(String schema)

Deprecated.

Set the column table's schema name. You can only call this method on columns whose table object is not set.

setSchemaIdentifier

public void setSchemaIdentifier(DBIdentifier schema)

getColumnName

public String getColumnName()

Deprecated.

Return the column's name.

getColumnIdentifier

public DBIdentifier getColumnIdentifier()

setColumnName

public void setColumnName(String name)

Deprecated.

Set the column's name. You can only call this method on columns whose table object is not set.

setColumnIdentifier

getName

public String getName()

Deprecated.

Return the name of the constraint.

getIdentifier

public DBIdentifier getIdentifier()

setName

public void setName(String name)

Deprecated.

Set the name of the constraint. This method cannot be called if the constraint already belongs to a table.

setIdentifier

public void setIdentifier(DBIdentifier name)

getFullName

public String getFullName()

Deprecated.

Return the full name of the constraint.

getQualifiedPath

public QualifiedDBIdentifier getQualifiedPath()

getFullIdentifier

public DBIdentifier getFullIdentifier()

isLogical

public abstract boolean isLogical()

Return whether this constraint is a logical constraint only; i.e. if it does not exist in the database.

isDeferred

public boolean isDeferred()

Return true if this is a deferred constraint.

setDeferred

public void setDeferred(boolean deferred)

Make this constrain deferred.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getRefCount

public int getRefCount()

ref
