Class DatabaseFactory

public final class DatabaseFactory
extends DBObjectProviderFactory.Creator

DatabaseFactory is a DBObjectProviderFactory.Creator implementation. It provides an extra ability to create new Connections for a given connection name. This provision requires a DatabaseFactory plugin that supports such an operation, by default the API does not contain one. The JDeveloper connection architecture provides such functionality and if used with jdeveloper this functionality will be available.

It is unlikely that the DatabaseFactory would be needed in the product. For the vast majority of cases, the oracle.jdeveloper.db.DatabaseConnections API (and associated classes) should be used.

Since:

10.1.3

getProviderType in class DBObjectProviderFactory.Creator

getDescription

protected java.lang.String getDescription(java.lang.Object identifier)

Description copied from class: DBObjectProviderFactory.Creator

Overrides:

getDescription in class DBObjectProviderFactory.Creator

decodeIdentifier

public static java.lang.String[] decodeIdentifier(java.lang.String id)

Decodes the store name and connection name from the given encoded identifier. It is assumed that the given id was created using encodeIdentifier.

See Also:

decodeIdentifier(String)

getIdentifier

protected java.lang.String getIdentifier(DBObjectProvider provider)

Description copied from class: DBObjectProviderFactory.Creator

createProviderImpl

protected final DBObjectProvider createProviderImpl(java.lang.Object identifier)
                                             throws DBException

                                      DatabaseFactory.ConnectionCreator factory)
                               throws DBException

Creates a Database using the given ConnectionCreator to create a connection for the given connection name. If the ConnectionCreator can't create a connection for the given name null is returned. This does not check any cache for an existing connection or Database, use with care.

Throws:

DBException

findOrCreateDatabase

public static final Database findOrCreateDatabase(java.lang.String storeName,
                                                  java.lang.String connName)
                                           throws DBException

Utility method that calls DBObjectProvider.findOrCreateProvider with the correcty provider type for Databases, and a fully qualified name encoded from the given store name and connection name.

Parameters:

storeName - the connection store the database connection is in

connName - the name of the connection within the store

Returns:

a Database wrapping the Connection to the database, or null if the connection name or store don't exist.

Throws:

DBException - if the connection details are found but a connection to the database cannot be established.

findOrCreateDatabase

@Deprecated
public static final Database findOrCreateDatabase(java.lang.String name,
                                                             java.sql.Connection conn)
                                           throws DBException

Deprecated. - use createStandaloneDatabase(java.lang.String, java.sql.Connection) to create a Database for an isolated connection. If a Database is required for a given connection name in the product use the appropriate connection store (e.g. Application Connections, or central IDE Connections).

Throws:

DBException

createStandaloneDatabase

public static final Database createStandaloneDatabase(java.lang.String name,
                                                      java.sql.Connection conn)
                                               throws DBException

Creates a standalone Database for the given Connection. This should only be used in testing a Connection. In the product, Database instances are cached for named connections so that their object caches can be shared. Creating a standalone Database impementation can therefore be slower.

Parameters:

name - the name to give the Database

conn - the Connection to a database

Returns:

a Database implementation appropriate to the given Connection

Throws:

DBException

getDatabaseDescriptor

public static final DatabaseDescriptor getDatabaseDescriptor(java.lang.Class providerClass)

Returns a DatabaseDescriptor for the given provider class. Will return null if no DatabaseDescriptor can be found for the given provider class.

setJdbcDatabaseCreator

public static void setJdbcDatabaseCreator(DatabaseFactory.DatabaseCreator dc)

Sets the database creator for generic JDBC implmentations (i.e. the fallback if no other creator can be found).

Parameters:

dc - the DatabaseCreator for JDBC databases.

For internal use only. Application developers should not use this

getDatabaseDescriptor

public static final DatabaseDescriptor getDatabaseDescriptor(Database db)

Returns a DatabaseDescriptor for the given database. Will return null if no DatabaseDescriptor can be found for the given database.

registerConnectionCreator

public static final void registerConnectionCreator(java.lang.String storeName,
                                                   DatabaseFactory.ConnectionCreator cc)

Registers a Connection creator that can duplicate connections for the Databases provided by the factory.

unregisterConnectionCreator

public static final void unregisterConnectionCreator(java.lang.String storeName,
                                                     DatabaseFactory.ConnectionCreator cc)

registerDatabaseCreator

public static final void registerDatabaseCreator(DatabaseFactory.DatabaseCreator dc)

Registers a Connection creator that can identify and create Databases and DatabaseDescriptors for the factory.

findConnectionCreator

public static DatabaseFactory.ConnectionCreator findConnectionCreator(java.lang.String storeName)

findConnectionCreator

@Deprecated
public static final <T extends DatabaseFactory.ConnectionCreator> T findConnectionCreator(java.lang.Class<T> ccc)

Deprecated.

findConnectionCreator

@Deprecated
public static final DatabaseFactory.ConnectionCreator findConnectionCreator(Database db)

Deprecated.

createConnection

public static final java.sql.Connection createConnection(Database db)
                                                  throws DBException

This will return a new Connection for the given database if possible. A suitable factory must be registered that can perform such an operation, if one is not present (this will be the case if using the api in standalone mode) the Database's existing connection will be returned.

This method is designed to create a duplicate Connection - the Database must have been setup with a Connection in the first place.

Throws:

DBException

registerProviderClass

public static void registerProviderClass(java.lang.Class<? extends Database> clz,
                                         java.lang.String name)

Registers the given provider class with its translated name.

getClasses

public static java.util.Collection<java.lang.Class<? extends Database>> getClasses()

Gets the supported Database implementations from the API. Although there are more Database implementations, this list is those that can be presented to a user as supported options.

Returns:

a collection of Database implementations we support.

See Also:

getDatabaseName(java.lang.Class)

getDatabaseName

public static java.lang.String getDatabaseName(java.lang.Class<? extends Database> dbClz)

Gets a translated string that describes the given database class to the nearest supported version. If no supported version is available, this will return "Generic JDBC Database" - i.e. we assume that there is no better support.

Returns:

a name for the given type (and version) of database.
