Specified by:

sqlConstraintString in class Constraint

getReferencedTable

public Table getReferencedTable()

setReferencedTable

public void setReferencedTable(Table referencedTable)
                        throws MappingException

Throws:

MappingException

alignColumns

public void alignColumns()

Validates that columnspan of the foreignkey and the primarykey is the same. Furthermore it aligns the length of the underlying tables columns.

getReferencedEntityName

public String getReferencedEntityName()

setReferencedEntityName

public void setReferencedEntityName(String referencedEntityName)

sqlDropString

public String sqlDropString(Dialect dialect,
                            String defaultCatalog,

Specified by:

sqlDropString in interface RelationalModel

Overrides:

sqlDropString in class Constraint

isCascadeDeleteEnabled

public boolean isCascadeDeleteEnabled()

setCascadeDeleteEnabled

public void setCascadeDeleteEnabled(boolean cascadeDeleteEnabled)

isPhysicalConstraint

public boolean isPhysicalConstraint()

getReferencedColumns

public List getReferencedColumns()

Returns the referenced columns if the foreignkey does not refer to the primary key

isReferenceToPrimaryKey

public boolean isReferenceToPrimaryKey()

Does this foreignkey reference the primary key of the reference table

addReferencedColumns

public void addReferencedColumns(Iterator referencedColumnsIterator)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint

public String generatedConstraintNamePrefix()

Specified by:

generatedConstraintNamePrefix in class Constraint

Returns:

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