StringDef (Oracle NoSQL Database API)

All Superinterfaces:

FieldDef
```
public interface StringDef
extends FieldDef
```
StringDef is an extension of FieldDef to encapsulate a String. It adds a minimum and maximum value range and type.
Comparisons to minimum and maxium values are done using String.compareTo(java.lang.String).

Since:

3.0

    Get the minimum value for the string.
    
    Returns:
    
    the minimum value for the instance if defined, otherwise null
  - getMax
```
@Deprecated
java.lang.String getMax()
```
    Deprecated.

  - isMinInclusive
```
@Deprecated
boolean isMinInclusive()
```
    Deprecated.
    as of release 4.0 it is no longer possible to specify ranges on String types.
