Interface RdbPPolymorphicClass


public interface RdbPPolymorphicClass

This interface is supposed to be implemented by (generated) polymorphic classes. It permits to append the filter expession at runtime when creating the views representing full-extents of polymorphic classes. Filters are defined on a statement basis: a view can be defined as an union of select/from/where statements, each may having filters to be added. Thus statements are named so that we can add the correct filtering expression to the right statement.


Method Summary
 void appendExtentFilters(java.lang.String stmtName, java.lang.StringBuffer sb)
          This method is called when creating views at runtime.
 

Method Detail

appendExtentFilters

public void appendExtentFilters(java.lang.String stmtName,
                                java.lang.StringBuffer sb)
This method is called when creating views at runtime. It append the filtering expression corresponding to a statement of the view representing the full-extent of the (polymorphic) (generated) class The name of the statement to which the filtering expression is to be added is specified by the given name, so that the right filtering expression is added. The string buffer given in parameter should already contain an SQL expression of the form: 'select ... from ... where' or 'select ... from ... where ... and'

Parameters:
stmtName - the name of the statement in the view definition
sb - the string buffer to which adding the filtering expression.
