Enum Constant Detail

ADD_ROW_ON_CHANGE

public static final OdiColumn.ScdType ADD_ROW_ON_CHANGE

If the column's value changes, a new record version is created.

CURRENT_RECORD_FLAG

public static final OdiColumn.ScdType CURRENT_RECORD_FLAG

The column is the flag that identifies the current record version. It is usually set to 1 for the current version and to 0 for older versions.

END_TIMESTAMP

public static final OdiColumn.ScdType END_TIMESTAMP

The column represents the valid end date and time for the record version.

NATURAL_KEY

public static final OdiColumn.ScdType NATURAL_KEY

The column is part of the key that identifies one record regardless of the versions. This key usually corresponds to the primary key of the source table.

OVERWRITE_ON_CHANGE

public static final OdiColumn.ScdType OVERWRITE_ON_CHANGE

If the column's value changes, the current record version is updated, and the column overwritten.

START_TIMESTAMP

public static final OdiColumn.ScdType START_TIMESTAMP

The column represents the valid starting date and time for the record version.

SURROGATE_KEY

public static final OdiColumn.ScdType SURROGATE_KEY

The column is the unique (technical) identifier for a record version. This column is usually loaded by an automatically incremented value (sequence), and is referenced by the fact table.

Method Detail

valueOf

public static OdiColumn.ScdType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

values

public static OdiColumn.ScdType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (OdiColumn.ScdType c : OdiColumn.ScdType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
