TableDefinition

createColumnDefinition

ColumnDefinition createColumnDefinition(String columnName,
                                        SQLDataType columnDataType)

Creates a new definition of column with specified name and data type. Invoking this method is equivalent to invoking #createColumnDefinition(String, String, String, Boolean) and pass null and true as last two parameters (meaning that there is no default value for column, and it may have NULL values).

Parameters:

columnName - The name of the column.

columnDataType - The data type of the column.

Returns:

The syntax element for definition of column with specified name and data type.

See Also:

#createColumnDefinition(String, String, String, Boolean)

createColumnDefinition

ColumnDefinition createColumnDefinition(String columnName,
                                        SQLDataType columnDataType,
                                        Boolean mayBeNull)

Creates a new definition of column with specified name, data type, and NULL value policy. Invoking this method is equivalent to invoking #createColumnDefinition(String, String, String, Boolean) and pass null and mayBeNull as last two parameters (meaning that there is no default value for column).

Parameters:

columnName - The name of the column.

columnDataType - The data type of the column.

mayBeNull - The NULL value policy. Setting this to false is same as specifying NOT NULL in column definition in SQL.

Returns:

The syntax element for definition of column with specified name, data type, and NULL value policy.

See Also:

#createColumnDefinition(String, String, String, Boolean)

createColumnDefinition

ColumnDefinition createColumnDefinition(String columnName,
                                        SQLDataType columnDataType,
                                        String columnDefault)

Creates a new definition of column with specified name, data type, default value. Invoking this method is equivalent to invoking #createColumnDefinition(String, String, String, Boolean) and pass columnDefault and true as last two parameters (meaning that column may have NULL values).

Parameters:

columnName - The name of the column.

columnDataType - The data type of the column.

columnDefault - The default value of the column.

Returns:

The syntax element for definition of column with specified name, data type, default value.

See Also:

#createColumnDefinition(String, String, String, Boolean)

createColumnDefinition

ColumnDefinition createColumnDefinition(String columnName,

                                        Boolean mayBeNull)

Creates a new definition of column with specified name, data type, default value, and NULL value policy. Invoking this method is equivalent to invoking #createColumnDefinition(String, SQLDataType, String, Boolean, AutoGenerationPolicy) and pass null as last parameter.

Parameters:

columnName - The name of the column.

columnDataType - The data type of the column.

columnDefault - The default value of the column.

mayBeNull - The NULL value policy for the column. Setting this to false is same as specifying NOT NULL in column definition in SQL.

Returns:

The syntax element for definition of column with specified name, data type, default value, and NULL value policy.

ColumnDefinition createColumnDefinition(String columnName,
                                        SQLDataType columnDataType,
