Method Detail

getAncestorChildTables

public java.util.List getAncestorChildTables()

Gets all of this table's child tables that are also ancestors of this table.

Definitions:

• Child -A table which contains foreign keys which reference another table, (the parent table) and may have rows which need to be copied to another location when a row in the parent table is copied.
• Parent -A table which is referenced by foreign keys in another table (the child table)
• Ancestor -A parent table, or a parent of a parent table, or one of that table's parents, etc
• Descendant -A child table, or a child of a child table, or one of that table's children, etc

Child tables of this table which are not ancestors should be listed by the getChildTables() method - not this method.

By default, no tables are returned; subclasses should override this method if necessary.

getChildTables

public java.util.List getChildTables()

Gets all of this table's child tables that are not ancestors of this table.

Definitions:

• Child -A table which contains foreign keys which reference another table, (the parent table) and may have rows which need to be copied to another location when a row in the parent table is copied.
• Parent -A table which is referenced by foreign keys in another table (the child table)
• Ancestor -A parent table, or a parent of a parent table, or one of that table's parents, etc
• Descendant -A child table, or a child of a child table, or one of that table's children, etc

It is important that none of this table's descendants have this table listed as a child table. If circular dependences are necessary, then this method must list only the child tables which are not ancestors of this table, and the getAncestorChildTables() method should identify the children of this table which are also ancestors of this table.

By default, no tables are returned; subclasses should override this method if necessary.

getRowClass

public java.lang.Class getRowClass()

Gets the subclass of Row that should be used for rows read from this table

Overrides:

getRowClass in class Table
