All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ColumnType>

public enum ColumnType
extends Enum<ColumnType>

Represents the data-type of columns. Most of the elements in this enum are based on the JDBC Types class, but with a few additions.

Method Detail

values

public static ColumnType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ColumnType c : ColumnType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ColumnType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getComparator

public Comparator<Object> getComparator()

isBoolean

public boolean isBoolean()

isBinary

public boolean isBinary()

isNumber

public boolean isNumber()

isTimeBased

public boolean isTimeBased()

isLiteral

public boolean isLiteral()

isLargeObject

public boolean isLargeObject()

getJavaEquivalentClass

public Class<?> getJavaEquivalentClass()

Returns:

a java class that is appropriate for handling column values of this column type

getSuperType

public SuperColumnType getSuperType()

convertColumnType

public static ColumnType convertColumnType(int jdbcType)

Finds the ColumnType enum corresponding to the incoming JDBC type-constant

getJdbcType

public int getJdbcType()
                throws IllegalStateException

Gets the JDBC type as per the Types class.

Returns:

an int representing one of the constants in the Types class.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - in case getting the JDBC type was unsuccesful.

convertColumnType

public static ColumnType convertColumnType(Class<?> cls)

Finds the ColumnType enum corresponding to the incoming Java class.

Parameters:

cls -

Returns:
