Constructor Detail

Column

public Column()

Default constructor.

Column

public Column(String name,
              Table table)

Constructor.

Parameters:

name - the name of the column

table - the column's table

Method Detail

getTable

public Table getTable()

Return the table for the column.

getTableName

public String getTableName()

The column's table name.

setTableName

public void setTableName(String name)

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

getSchemaName

public String getSchemaName()

The column's schema name.

setSchemaName

public void setSchemaName(String name)

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

getName

public String getName()

Return the column's name.

setName

public void setName(String name)

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

getFullName

public String getFullName()

Return the column's full name, in the form <table>.<name>.

getType

public int getType()

Return the column's SQL type. This will be one of the type constants defined in Types.

setType

public void setType(int sqlType)

Set the column's SQL type. This should be one of the type constants defined in Types.

getTypeName

public String getTypeName()

The database-specific SQL type of this column.

setTypeName

public void setTypeName(String typeName)

The database-specific SQL type of this column.

getJavaType

public int getJavaType()

The Java type the data in this column is treated as, from JavaTypes or JavaSQLTypes.

setJavaType

public void setJavaType(int type)

The Java type the data in this column is treated as, from JavaTypes or JavaSQLTypes.

getSize

public int getSize()

Return the column's size.

setSize

public void setSize(int size)

Set the column's size.

getDecimalDigits

public int getDecimalDigits()

Return the number of decimal digits for the column, if applicable.

setDecimalDigits

public void setDecimalDigits(int digits)

Set the number of decimal digits for the column.

getDefaultString

public String getDefaultString()

Return the default value set for the column, if any.

setDefaultString

public void setDefaultString(String def)

Set the default value for the column.

getDefault

public Object getDefault()

Return the default value set for this column, if any. If only a default string has been set, attempts to convert it to the right type based on the Java type set for this column.

setDefault

public void setDefault(Object def)

Set the default value for the column.

isNotNull

Set whether this is a NOT NULL column.

isNotNullExplicit

public boolean isNotNullExplicit()

Whether the not-null property has been set.

isAutoAssigned

public boolean isAutoAssigned()

Whether this column is auto-assigned a value on insert.

setAutoAssigned

public void setAutoAssigned(boolean autoAssign)

Whether this column is auto-incrementing.

isRelationId

public boolean isRelationId()

Whether this column stores some form of serialized identity value for a related record. This makes the column dependent on the knowing the final identity of the relation before the column value is set.

setRelationId

public void setRelationId(boolean rel)

Whether this column stores some form of serialized identity value for a related record. This makes the column dependent on the knowing the final identity of the relation before the column value is set.

getTarget
