ForeignKey

public ForeignKey(String name)

Creates a new foreign key object.

Parameters:

name - The name of the foreign key

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of this foreign key.

Returns:

The name

setName

public void setName(String name)

Sets the name of this foreign key.

Parameters:

name - The name

getForeignTable

public Table getForeignTable()

Returns the foreign table.

Returns:

The foreign table

setForeignTable

public void setForeignTable(Table foreignTable)

Sets the foreign table.

Parameters:

foreignTable - The foreign table

getForeignTableName

public String getForeignTableName()

Returns the name of the foreign table.

Returns:

The table name

setForeignTableName

public void setForeignTableName(String foreignTableName)

Sets the name of the foreign table. Please note that you should not use this method when manually constructing or manipulating the database model. Rather utilize the setForeignTable(Table) method.

The reference

getReferences

public Reference[] getReferences()

Returns the references.

Returns:

The references

getFirstReference

public Reference getFirstReference()

Returns the first reference if it exists.

Returns:

The first reference

addReference

public void addReference(Reference reference)

Adds a reference, ie. a mapping between a local column (in the table that owns this foreign key) and a remote column.

Parameters:

reference - The reference to add

removeReference

public void removeReference(Reference reference)

Removes the given reference.

Parameters:

reference - The reference to remove

removeReference

public void removeReference(int idx)

Removes the indicated reference.

Parameters:

idx - The index of the reference to remove

hasLocalColumn

public boolean hasLocalColumn(Column column)

Determines whether this foreign key uses the given column as a local column in a reference.

Parameters:

column - The column to check

Returns:

true if a reference uses the column as a local column
