All Implemented Interfaces:

DBObject, SchemaObject, Copyable, DynamicPropertySet

public class Synonym
extends AbstractSchemaObject

Model of a database synonym. A synonym is a reference to another object. Synonyms can be defined as being public, in which case they are available to all users without a schema qualifier.

Constructor Detail

Synonym

public Synonym()

Constructs a new Synonym.

Synonym

public Synonym(java.lang.String name,
               Schema schema,
               DBObjectID ref)

Constructs a new Synonym pointing to a specific object, in a specific schema, and with a specific name.

Parameters:

name - a string containing the name of the synonym

schema - the schema containing the synonym

ref - the Object this synonym refers to

Method Detail

copyTo

public DBObject copyTo(DBObject target,
                       DBObject copyParent,
                       IDPolicy idPolicy)

Description copied from class: AbstractDBObject

Internal copy method used by the API to perform copy operations. All objects must implement this method if they are instantiable objects. Abstract objects (e.g. Relation) must NOT implement this method. The implementation should delegate to the copyToImpl method to copy the actual properties.

This method does not fix internal reference ids on copy. That is done by the calling DBObject.copyTo(DBObject, IDPolicy) method.

Specified by:

copyTo in class AbstractDBObject

See Also:

DBObject.copyTo(java.lang.Object), DBObject.copyTo(DBObject, boolean), AbstractDBObject.copyToImpl(oracle.javatools.db.AbstractDBObject, oracle.javatools.db.DBObject, oracle.javatools.db.IDPolicy)

copyToImpl

protected void copyToImpl(Synonym copy,
                          DBObject copyParent,
                          IDPolicy idPolicy)

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object target)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

equalsImpl

protected boolean equalsImpl(Synonym target)

getReference

public DBObjectID getReference()

Retrieves the object refered to by this synonym.

Returns:

the object referenced by this synonym

setReference

public void setReference(DBObjectID ref)

Sets the object refered to by this synonym.

Parameters:

ref - the object referenced by this synonym

isPublic

public boolean isPublic()

Whether this synonynm is public. A public synonym is available without a schema qualifier.

Returns:

a boolean value indicating whether this schema is public

setPublic

public void setPublic(boolean pub)

Sets whether this synonym is public. A public synonym is available without a schema qualifier.

Parameters:

pub - a boolean value indicating whether this schema is public

getType

public java.lang.String getType()

Description copied from interface: DBObject

Returns the type of this object. Valid types include things like tables, views, synonyms, and columns.

Returns:

a string describing the type of object.

getReferenceIDsImpl

protected void getReferenceIDsImpl(java.util.Collection<DBObjectID> refs)

Description copied from class: AbstractSchemaObject

Implementation first checks that the object has been built - then returns the collection from suprt.getReferenceIDsImpl(). All overrides must call this first to ensure the object has been built.

Overrides:

getReferenceIDsImpl in class AbstractSchemaObject

Parameters:

refs - the collection of ids this object references

replaceReferenceIDs

public boolean replaceReferenceIDs(java.util.Map<DBObjectID,DBObjectID> idMap)

Description copied from class: AbstractDBObject

Override in subclasses to replace reference IDs as appropriate. Always call super in the overridden implementation to make sure the default implementation (which checks the property map) is called.

Specified by:

replaceReferenceIDs in interface DBObject

Overrides:

replaceReferenceIDs in class AbstractDBObject

Parameters:

idMap - key = old DBObjectID, value = new DBObjectID

Returns:

true if any ids were replaced.
