public class OdiDataType
An OdiDataType
is a domain entity describing a single data type defined for an
ODI technology.
OdiDataType
s are mainly used inside ODI Knowledge Modules to create DDL statements
according to the native technology. However they are also used at design-time when designing
(or reversing) data models. Also, OdiDataType
implements data type
conversion from its own technology to one another.
OdiDataType
is root of its own aggregate, but also part of aggregate with root
OdiTechnology
, this means deleting an OdiTechnology
will also delete all
OdiDataType
s related to this OdiTechnology
.
Instances of OdiDataType
related to a given OdiTechnology
are obtained
using the OdiTechnology.getDataTypes()
method.

public java.lang.String getCode()
That code is internally used by ODI to reference data types over repositories.
public OdiDataType getConvertedDataType(OdiTechnology pTargetTechnology)
OdiDataType
that corresponds to this instance of
OdiDataType
for the given target technology, or null
if no conversion is defined for the given technology. If the target technology is equals
to this data type's technology, this OdiDataType
instance is returned.
pTargetTechnology
- the target technology to convert from this
OdiDataType
representing this OdiDataType
for given technology
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- if the given technology is null

.
public java.io.Serializable getInternalId()
IRepositoryEntity
Typically a subclass will delegate to a public
SomePrimitiveWrapper getId()
method. The necessity for the
getInternalId()
abstract method is solely because the
persistence layer needs a way of obtaining the identity irrespective of
the actual identity implementation choice.
Returning null
from this method will indicate the object has
never been saved. This will likely be relied on by some DAO
implementations.
