Interface DdlType

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface DdlType
extends Serializable

Descriptor for a DDL column type. An instance of this type abstracts over a parameterized family of dialect-specific SQL types with the same type code but varying length, precision, and scale. Usually, the types belonging to the family share a single type name in SQL, but in certain cases, most notably, in the case of the MySQL LOB types text and blob, it's the type name itself which is parameter-dependent.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default String	getCastTypeName(SqlExpressible type, Long length, Integer precision, Integer scale)	Return the database type with the given length, precision, and scale, if specified, corresponding to the JdbcMapping of the given SqlExpressible, that may be used as a target type in casting operations using the SQL CAST() function.
String	getCastTypeName(JdbcType jdbcType, JavaType<?> javaType)	Return the database type corresponding to the given JdbcType that may be used as a target type in casting operations using the SQL CAST() function, using the given JavaType to help determine the appropriate precision and scale.
String	getCastTypeName(JdbcType jdbcType, JavaType<?> javaType, Long length, Integer precision, Integer scale)	Return the database type with the given length, precision, and scale, if specified, corresponding to the given JdbcType, that may be used as a target type in casting operations using the SQL CAST() function, using the given JavaType to help determine the appropriate precision and scale.
String	getRawTypeName()	Returns the default type name without precision/length and scale parameters.
default String[]	getRawTypeNames()	Returns all type names without precision/length and scale parameters.
int	getSqlTypeCode()	The SQL type code of the descriptor.
String	getTypeName(Long size, Integer precision, Integer scale)	Return a type with the given length, precision, and scale.
default String	getTypeName(Size size)	Return a type with length, precision, and scale specified by the given size object.
String	getTypeNamePattern()

Method Detail

getSqlTypeCode

int getSqlTypeCode()

The SQL type code of the descriptor.

Returns:

a SQL type code

getRawTypeName

String getRawTypeName()

Returns the default type name without precision/length and scale parameters.

getRawTypeNames

default String[] getRawTypeNames()

Returns all type names without precision/length and scale parameters.

getTypeNamePattern

String getTypeNamePattern()

getTypeName

default String getTypeName(Size size)

Return a type with length, precision, and scale specified by the given size object.

getTypeName

String getTypeName(Long size,
                   Integer precision,
                   Integer scale)

Return a type with the given length, precision, and scale.

getCastTypeName

String getCastTypeName(JdbcType jdbcType,
                       JavaType<?> javaType)

Return the database type corresponding to the given JdbcType that may be used as a target type in casting operations using the SQL CAST() function, using the given JavaType to help determine the appropriate precision and scale. The length is usually chosen to be the maximum possible length for the dialect.

Returns:

The SQL type name

JavaType.getDefaultSqlScale(Dialect, JdbcType), JavaType.getDefaultSqlPrecision(Dialect, JdbcType), Dialect.getMaxVarcharLength()

getCastTypeName

default String getCastTypeName(SqlExpressible type,
                               Long length,
                               Integer precision,
                               Integer scale)

Return the database type with the given length, precision, and scale, if specified, corresponding to the JdbcMapping of the given SqlExpressible, that may be used as a target type in casting operations using the SQL CAST() function.

Parameters:

type - the SqlExpressible

length - the length, or null, if unspecified

precision - the precision, or null, if unspecified

scale - the scale, or null, if unspecified

Returns:

The SQL type name

getCastTypeName

String getCastTypeName(JdbcType jdbcType,
                       JavaType<?> javaType,
                       Long length,
                       Integer precision,
                       Integer scale)

Return the database type with the given length, precision, and scale, if specified, corresponding to the given JdbcType, that may be used as a target type in casting operations using the SQL CAST() function, using the given JavaType to help determine the appropriate precision and scale. The length, if not explicitly specified, is usually chosen to be the maximum possible length for the dialect.

Returns:

The SQL type name
