Method Detail

createSchemaDefinitionBuilder

SchemaDefinitionBuilder createSchemaDefinitionBuilder()

Creates an empty builder for CREATE SCHEMA statement.

Returns:

An empty builder for CREATE SCHEMA statement.

createTableDefinitionBuilder

TableDefinitionBuilder createTableDefinitionBuilder()

Creates an empty builder for CREATE TABLE statement.

Returns:

An empty builder for CREATE TABLE statement.

createTableElementListBuilder

TableElementListBuilder createTableElementListBuilder()

Creates an empty builder for defining columns and constraints for CREATE TABLE statement.

TableDefinition

createColumnDefinition

ColumnDefinition createColumnDefinition(java.lang.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(java.lang.String columnName,
                                        SQLDataType columnDataType,
                                        java.lang.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(java.lang.String columnName,
                                        SQLDataType columnDataType,
                                        java.lang.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(java.lang.String columnName,
                                        SQLDataType columnDataType,
                                        java.lang.String columnDefault,
                                        java.lang.Boolean mayBeNull)

Creates a new definition of column with specified name, data type, default value, and NULL value policy.

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.

createLikeClause

LikeClause createLikeClause(TableName tableName)

Creates a new LIKE <table name> clause for CREATE TABLE statement.

Parameters:

tableName - The name of the target table.

Returns:

The syntax element for LIKE <table name> clause for CREATE TABLE statement.

createTableConstraintDefinition

TableConstraintDefinition createTableConstraintDefinition(TableConstraint constraint)

Creates a new unnamed table constraint without any ConstraintCharacteristics. Invoking this method is equivalent to invoking createTableConstraintDefinition(String, TableConstraint, ConstraintCharacteristics) and passing nulls as first and last parameters.
