Field Detail

PRIMARY_KEY

public static final int PRIMARY_KEY

A PRIMARY_KEY constraint. With this constraint, the 'column_list' list contains the names of the columns in this table that are defined as the primary key. There may only be one primary key constraint per table.

Constant Field Values

UNIQUE

public static final int UNIQUE

A UNIQUE constraint. With this constraint, the 'column_list' list contains the names of the columns in this table that must be unique.

Constant Field Values

FOREIGN_KEY

public static final int FOREIGN_KEY

A FOREIGN_KEY constraint. With this constraint, the 'table_name' string contains the name of the table that this is a foreign key for, the 'column_list' list contains the list of foreign key columns, and 'column_list2' optionally contains the referenced columns.

Constant Field Values

CHECK

public static final int CHECK

A CHECK constraint. With this constraint, the 'expression' object contains the expression that must evaluate to true when adding a column to the table.

prepareExpressions

public void prepareExpressions(ExpressionPreparer preparer)
                        throws DatabaseException

Description copied from interface: StatementTreeObject

Prepares all expressions in this statement tree object by passing the ExpressionPreparer object to the 'prepare' method of the expression.

Specified by:

prepareExpressions in interface StatementTreeObject

Throws:

DatabaseException

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
