Constructor Detail

Constraint

public Constraint()

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

setName

public void setName(String name)

generateName

public static String generateName(String prefix,
                                  Table table,
                                  Column... columns)

If a constraint is not explicitly named, this is called to generate a unique hash using the table and column names. Static so the name can be generated prior to creating the Constraint. They're cached, keyed by name, in multiple locations.

Returns:

String The generated name

generateName

public static String generateName(String prefix,
                                  Table table,
                                  List<Column> columns)

Helper method for generateName(String, Table, Column...).

Returns:

String The generated name

hashedName

public static String hashedName(String s)

Hash a constraint name using MD5. Convert the MD5 digest to base 35 (full alphanumeric), guaranteeing that the length of the name will always be smaller than the 30 character identifier restriction enforced by a few dialects.

Parameters:

s - The name to be hashed.

Returns:

String The hashed name.

addColumn

public void addColumn(Column column)

addColumns

public void addColumns(Iterator columnIterator)

containsColumn

public boolean containsColumn(Column column)

Returns:

true if this constraint already contains a column with same name.

getColumnSpan

public int getColumnSpan()

getColumn

public Column getColumn(int i)

getColumnIterator

public Iterator<Column> getColumnIterator()

columnIterator

@Deprecated
public Iterator<Column> columnIterator()

Deprecated.

(Since 6.0) use getColumnIterator() instead.

This is a duplicate method, that has been removed in v.6.0. getColumnIterator() is the one that will stay.

getTable

public Table getTable()

setTable

public void setTable(Table table)

isGenerated

public boolean isGenerated(Dialect dialect)

sqlDropString

public String sqlDropString(SqlStringGenerationContext context,
                            String defaultCatalog,
                            String defaultSchema)

Specified by:

sqlDropString in interface RelationalModel

sqlCreateString

public String sqlCreateString(Mapping p,
                              SqlStringGenerationContext context,
                              String defaultCatalog,
                              String defaultSchema)

Specified by:

sqlCreateString in interface RelationalModel

getColumns

public List<Column> getColumns()

sqlConstraintString

public abstract String sqlConstraintString(SqlStringGenerationContext context,
                                           String constraintName,
                                           String defaultCatalog,
                                           String defaultSchema)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

generatedConstraintNamePrefix

public abstract String generatedConstraintNamePrefix()

Returns:

String The prefix to use in generated constraint names. Examples: "UK_", "FK_", and "PK_".
