Class OdiRefMember

java.lang.Object

AbstractRepositoryEntity

oracle.odi.domain.dimension.OdiRefMember

All Implemented Interfaces:

IRefMember, IModelObjectBase

public class OdiRefMember
extends AbstractRepositoryEntity
implements IRefMember

A class that represents a reference member that is owned by a parent reference object. A reference member contains a reference to an ordered list of parent attributes that define a lookup key for the parent level. The lookup key may be a natural key or a surrogate key. If the reference member has a null natural key member reference, it is assumed to be a reference to the parent level surrogate key.

                    OdiNaturalKeyMember refNaturalKeyMember)

Method Detail

getInternalId

public java.io.Serializable getInternalId()

getRefMemberId

public java.lang.Number getRefMemberId()

Get the unique id of this ref member. It will be unique among all ref members in this repository.

getSecurityContainer

getParentRef

public OdiParentRef getParentRef()

Description copied from interface: IRefMember

Get the parent reference that owns this reference member.

Specified by:

getParentRef in interface IRefMember

Returns:

The owning parent reference object.

getNaturalKeyMember

public OdiNaturalKeyMember getNaturalKeyMember()

Description copied from interface: IRefMember

Get the parent level natural key member that is associated with this reference member object. If the parent natural key member value is null, it means that this reference member object refers to the parent level surrogate key.

Description copied from interface: IRefMember

Get the bound column for this reference member. The bound column is a column in the level bound table that will be used to store the parent reference key value associated with this reference member.

Specified by:

getBoundColumn in interface IRefMember

Returns:

The bound column for this reference member.

setBoundColumn

public void setBoundColumn(OdiColumn col)

Description copied from interface: IRefMember

Specified by:

setBoundColumn in interface IRefMember

Parameters:

col - The bound column to set.

getBoundStagingColumn

public OdiColumn getBoundStagingColumn()

Description copied from interface: IRefMember

Get the bound staging column for this reference member. The bound column is a column in the level bound staging table that will be used to store the parent reference key value associated with this reference member.

Specified by:
