Interface VDB

All Superinterfaces:

AdminObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

MMVDB

public interface VDB
extends AdminObject

Represents a Virtual Database in the MetaMatrix system.
A VDB has a name and a version.

The identifier pattern for a VDB is "name<AdminObject.DELIMITER_CHAR>version", where the name of the VDB and its version represent its unique identifier in the MetaMatrix system. There are no spaces allowed in a given VDB name, and VDB name must start with a letter. A version number is automatically assigned to a VDB when it is deployed into a system. A VDB is uniquely identified by "name<AdminObject.DELIMITER_CHAR>version". For example: "Accounts<AdminObject.DELIMITER_CHAR>1", "UnifiedSales<AdminObject.DELIMITER_CHAR>4" etc.
