org.litebridgedb.db.spi.ColumnMetaData
All Implemented Interfaces:
MappedFieldTarget
public final class ColumnMetaData extends Object implements MappedFieldTarget
Metadata information for a database column.

This class extends the functionality of the Column class to include additional attributes typically associated with database column metadata, such as nullability, data type, size, and others.

Instances of this class are immutable except for specific mutable fields like auto-increment, sequence, and joinColumn, which can be modified after initialization.

  • Constructor Details

    • ColumnMetaData

      public ColumnMetaData(Table table, String name, boolean nullable, int dataType, int size, int decimalDigits, boolean autoIncrement, @Nullable String sequence)
      Construct an instance of ColumnMetaData with specified metadata details about a database column.
      Parameters:
      table - the table to which this column belongs; must not be null
      name - the name of the column; must not be null
      nullable - a flag indicating whether the column allows null values
      dataType - the SQL data type of the column as defined in Types
      size - the size of the column, typically representing the maximum number of characters for string or digits for numeric types
      decimalDigits - the number of decimal digits for the column, applicable for numeric types
      autoIncrement - a flag indicating whether the column is defined as auto-increment
      sequence - the name of the sequence associated with the column, or null if no sequence is associated

    • ColumnMetaData

      Parameters:
      table - the table to which this column belongs; must not be null
      name - the name of the column; must not be null
