Constructor Detail

ColumnUsage

public ColumnUsage()

Create an empty ColumnUsage.

ColumnUsage

public ColumnUsage(DBObjectID colID)

Create a ColumnUsage using the given Column ID to reference.

ColumnUsage

public ColumnUsage(DBObjectID colID,
                   FromObject from)

Create a ColumnUsage using the given Column ID and FromObject to reference.

Method Detail

setColumnID

@Deprecated
public void setColumnID(DBObjectID colID)

Deprecated.

getAttributes

public java.lang.String[] getAttributes()

Gets the list of attributes used. If the Column used has an object type datatype then it is possible to reference an attribute of that object type in the query directly. Furthermore if that attribute has an object type datatype we can recurse. The attribute list is currently returned as a String[] but we may move to a DBObjectID[] in the next release.

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(java.lang.String[] attrs)

Sets the list of attributes used (if any).

See Also:

getAttributes()

setOuterJoin

public void setOuterJoin(boolean oj)

Sets whether this column usage contains the where clause syntax for an outer join.

isOuterJoin

public boolean isOuterJoin()

Returns true if this column usage includes the outer join syntax for a where clause.

getSQLText

public java.lang.String getSQLText()

Returns the SQLText for the ColumnUsage. It uses the alias, or if not present the sql expression, for the FromObject, dot, the Column name.

Returns:

a string representing the SQL text for this object.

setAlwaysQuote

public void setAlwaysQuote(boolean boo)
