Detailed Description

the AbstractSchema class is a base class to assist with automatic schema management

This class allows the following actions to be performed:

  • schema creation, upgrades, and downgrades (through schema alignment)
  • schema deletion / dropping

This class does not provide for any intelligence based on the schema template's version and a schema version string stored in the schema itself; this is provided instead by the AbstractVersionedSchema class.

The following abstract methods must be re-implemented in subclasses to define basic schema attributes:

The following methods should be re-implemented in subclasses to define schema definitions from which DDL will be generated::

The following methods should be re-implemented in subclasses to define schema creation options to affect the generated DDL:

The following methods should be re-implemented in subclasses to define schema reference data:

  • getStrictReferenceDataHashImpl(): returns a hash of "strict reference data", describing the only data that can appear in the target table
  • getReferenceDataHashImpl(): returns a hash of "normal reference data", describing data that must appear in the target table, however additional rows are also acceptable
  • getCreateOnlyReferenceDataImpl(): returns a hash of "create-only reference data", describing data that is written to the table when the table is created
  • getInsertOnlyReferenceDataImpl(): returns a hash of "create-only reference data", describing data that will only be inserted if missing, otherwise existing rows with changed data are left unchanged

Member Function Documentation

int Schema::AbstractSchema::align ( bool  force = False,
int  verbose = 0 
)

executes a schema alignment action on the database with the current schema template

this causes the database to be aligned with the schema template, which will result in:

  • the schema being created in an empty schema
  • the schema being upgraded if an older version of the schema exists in the database
  • the schema being downgraded if a newer version of the schema exists in the database
Note
if other database objects not belonging to the schema already exist in the given database, they will be dropped
private bool Schema::AbstractSchema::checkExistence ( )

returns True if the method can detect that DB objects defined in the schema exist in the database

Currently this method checks if at least one of the first tables, sequences, functions, or procedures defined in the schema template exists. If so, this method returns True, otherwise it returns False

Schema::AbstractSchema::constructor ( AbstractDatasource  n_ds,
*string  dts,
*string  its 
)

creates the object from the arguments

Parameters
n_dsthe datasource for the schema
dtsan optional data tablespace name for the schema
itsan optional index tablespace name for the schema
