org.hibernate.dialect.TypeNames

public class TypeNames
extends Object

This class maps a type to names. Associations may be marked with a capacity. Calling the get() method with a type and actual size n will return the associated name with smallest capacity >= n, if available and an unmarked default type otherwise. Eg, setting

        names.put( type,        "TEXT" );
        names.put( type,   255, "VARCHAR($l)" );
        names.put( type, 65534, "LONGVARCHAR($l)" );
 

will give you back the following:

  names.get( type )         // --> "TEXT" (default)
  names.get( type,    100 ) // --> "VARCHAR(100)" (100 is in [0:255])
  names.get( type,   1000 ) // --> "LONGVARCHAR(1000)" (1000 is in [256:65534])
  names.get( type, 100000 ) // --> "TEXT" (default)
 

On the other hand, simply putting

        names.put( type, "VARCHAR($l)" );
 

would result in

  names.get( type )        // --> "VARCHAR($l)" (will cause trouble)
  names.get( type, 100 )   // --> "VARCHAR(100)"
  names.get( type, 10000 ) // --> "VARCHAR(10000)"

Method Detail

get

public String get(int typeCode)
           throws MappingException

get default type name for specified type

Parameters:

typeCode - the type key

Returns:

the default type name associated with specified key

Throws:

MappingException - Indicates that no registrations were made for that typeCode

get

public String get(int typeCode,
                  long size,
                  int precision,
                  int scale)
           throws MappingException

get type name for specified type and size

Parameters:

typeCode - the type key

size - the SQL length

scale - the SQL scale

precision - the SQL precision

Returns:

the associated name with smallest capacity >= size, if available and the default type name otherwise

Throws:

MappingException - Indicates that no registrations were made for that typeCode

put

public void put(int typeCode,
                long capacity,
                String value)

Register a weighted typeCode mapping

Parameters:

typeCode - the JDBC type code

capacity - The capacity for this weighting

value - The mapping (type name)

put

public void put(int typeCode,
                String value)

Register a default (non-weighted) typeCode mapping

Parameters:

typeCode - the type key

value - The mapping (type name)
