    • generateName

      @Deprecated(since="6.5", forRemoval=true) public static String generateName(String prefix, Table table, Column... columns)
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      This method does not respect the ImplicitNamingStrategy
      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

      @Deprecated(since="6.5", forRemoval=true) public static String generateName(String prefix, Table table, List<Column> columns)
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      This method does not respect the ImplicitNamingStrategy
      Helper method for generateName(String, Table, Column...).
      Returns:
      String The generated name

    • hashedName

      @Deprecated(since="6.5", forRemoval=true) public static String hashedName(String name)
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      Only used from deprecated methods
      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:
      name - The name to be hashed.
      Returns:
      String The hashed name.
