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.

Parameters:

prefix - Appended to the beginning of the generated name

table -

columns -

Returns:

String The generated name

generateName

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

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

Parameters:

prefix - Appended to the beginning of the generated name

table -

columns -

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 hased name.

getColumnIterator

public Iterator getColumnIterator()

addColumn

public void addColumn(Column column)

addColumns

public void addColumns(Iterator columnIterator)

containsColumn

public boolean containsColumn(Column column)

Parameters:

column -

Returns:

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

getColumnSpan

public int getColumnSpan()

getColumn

public Column getColumn(int i)

columnIterator

public Iterator columnIterator()

getTable

public Table getTable()

setTable

public void setTable(Table table)

isGenerated

public boolean isGenerated(Dialect dialect)

sqlDropString

public String sqlDropString(Dialect dialect,
                            String defaultCatalog,
                            String defaultSchema)

Specified by:

sqlDropString in interface RelationalModel

                              Mapping p,
                              String defaultCatalog,
                              String defaultSchema)

Specified by:

sqlCreateString in interface RelationalModel

getColumns

public List getColumns()

sqlConstraintString

public abstract String sqlConstraintString(Dialect d,
                                           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_".
