Interface Column

All Superinterfaces:
CMetadata, Feature, LogicalColumn, MdObjectBase, MdObjectBaseUtil, MdObjectBaseXML, PrimaryType, Remote, Root
All Known Subinterfaces:
ColumnRange
public interface Column extends LogicalColumn
Represents a column in a table, view, etc.

Attributes of Column are:

Associations of Column are:

Usage

To create an instance of this Column, use the factory create methods.
Example: create a Column with name "Column_Object", in repository "AAAAAAAA".
 // create a store to contain your objects for this change. If you do not have an existing object
 // or store to use.  You may obtain the store from another object by using Object.getObjectStore().
 MdFactory factory; //where "factory" is a valid MdFactory instance
 MdObjectStore objectStore = factory.createObjectStore();
 Column myObject = (Column) factory.createComplexMetadataObject(objectStore, "Column_Object", MetadataObjects.COLUMN, "AAAAAAAA");
 myObject.updateMetadataAll();  // Write object to server
 objectStore.dispose();  // dispose of the object store if it is no longer needed

Behavior

  • Attributes and associations for this object can be retrieved by using the methods in MdOMIUtil.
  • When changes are made to the object, either by setting an attribute or adding objects to a particular association, they can be persisted to the metadata server with the updateMetadataAll method.
  • If an object needs to be deleted, the delete method can be used. This will flag the object as being deleted on the client, and will require an update call to persist the change to the server.

Dependencies

This class depends on objects being contained in an MdObjectStore. Object stores should be disposed of when they are no longer needed as this will help clean up memory. Disposing an object store will dispose of all objects contained within that store.

      This attribute can support mixed-case names, and special characters and spaces in the text if there is a PropertySet object and one or two Property objects configured on the table to indicate that this table requires special handling for its names.

      For example, you would define and associate a PropertySet object named DBMSNames with a SetRole=DBMSNames with the Column(?). The PropertySet object can have two Property objects associated with it: Case and SpecChar. The Property named Case can specify whether the values in the SASTableName/SASColumnName attribute are case-sensitive or not. The Property named SpecChar can specify whether the values in the SASTableName/SASColumnName can contain special characters, including spaces.
