Class UserDefinedTypeIdImpl

java.lang.Object

org.apache.derby.catalog.types.BaseTypeIdImpl

org.apache.derby.catalog.types.UserDefinedTypeIdImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Externalizable, java.io.Serializable, Formatable, TypedFormat

public class UserDefinedTypeIdImpl
extends BaseTypeIdImpl

This type id describes a user defined type. There are 2 kinds of user defined types in Derby:

• Old-fashioned - In the original Cloudscape code, it was possible to declare a column's type to be the name of a Java class. Unlike ANSI UDTs, these user defined types were not schema objects themselves and they didn't have schema-qualified names. Some of the system tables have columns whose datatypes are old-fashioned user defined types. E.g., SYS.SYSALIASES.ALIASINFO.
• ANSI - As part of the work on DERBY-651, we added ANSI UDTs. These are user defined types which are declared via the CREATE TYPE statement. These have schema-qualified names. The CREATE TYPE statement basically binds a schema-qualified name to the name of a Java class.

Field Detail

className

protected java.lang.String className

This class implements Formatable. That means that it can write itself to and from a formatted stream. If you add more fields to this class, make sure that you also write/read them with the writeExternal()/readExternal() methods. If, inbetween releases, you add more fields to this class, then you should bump the version number emitted by the getTypeFormatId() method.

Constructor Detail

UserDefinedTypeIdImpl

public UserDefinedTypeIdImpl()

Public niladic constructor. Needed for Formatable interface to work.

UserDefinedTypeIdImpl

public UserDefinedTypeIdImpl(java.lang.String className)
                      throws StandardException

Constructor for a UserDefinedTypeIdImpl. The SQLTypeName of a UserDefinedType is assumed to be its className for Derby-only UserDefinedTypes. For actual user created UDTs, the SQLTypeName is a schema qualified name.

Parameters:

className - The SQL name of the type

Throws:

StandardException

UserDefinedTypeIdImpl

public UserDefinedTypeIdImpl(java.lang.String schemaName,
                     java.lang.String unqualifiedName,
                     java.lang.String className)

Constructor for a UDT.

Parameters:

schemaName - Schema that the UDT lives in.

unqualifiedName - The name of the type inside that schema.

className - The Java class bound to the SQL type.

Method Detail

getClassName

public java.lang.String getClassName()

Return the java class name for this type

userType

public boolean userType()

Does this type id represent a user type?

Overrides:

userType in class BaseTypeIdImpl

isBound

public boolean isBound()

Has this user type been bound?

Read this object from a stream of stored objects.

Specified by:

readExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Overrides:

readExternal in class BaseTypeIdImpl

Parameters:

in - read this.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - thrown on error

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput out)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Overrides:

writeExternal in class BaseTypeIdImpl

Parameters:

out - write bytes here.

Throws:

Get the formatID which corresponds to this class.

Specified by:

getTypeFormatId in interface TypedFormat

Overrides:

getTypeFormatId in class BaseTypeIdImpl

Returns:

the formatID of this class
