toTable

public Table toTable()

Description copied from interface: TableCreationBuilder

Returns this builder instance as a table. This allows for inspecting the table that is being built, before it is actually created.

Specified by:

toTable in interface TableCreationBuilder

Returns:

a temporary representation of the table being built.

like

public TableCreationBuilder like(Table table)

Description copied from interface: TableCreationBuilder

Builds this table's columns based on another Table which will be used as a prototype. Using this method simplifies the creation of a table that is similar to an existing table.

Specified by:

like in interface TableCreationBuilder

Parameters:

table - the Table to use as a prototype

Returns:

a builder object for further table creation

withColumn

public ColumnCreationBuilder withColumn(String name)

Description copied from interface: TableCreationBuilder

Adds a column to the current builder

Specified by:

withColumn in interface TableCreationBuilder

Returns:

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

toSql

public String toSql()

Description copied from interface: TableCreationBuilder

Gets a SQL representation of this create table operation. Note that the generated SQL is dialect agnostic, so it is not accurately the same as what will be passed to a potential backing database.

Specified by:

toSql in interface TableCreationBuilder

Returns:

a SQL representation of this create table operation.
