Member Enumeration Documentation

TypeInfoTypeValues

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TypeInfo()

ocilib::TypeInfo::TypeInfo ( const Connection &  connection, const ostring &  name, TypeInfoType  type  )

inline

Parametrized constructor.

Parameters

connection	- Parent connection
name	- Type name
type	- Kind of type to retrieve

Note

the TypeInfo object must not be accessed anymore once the parent connection object gets out of scope

Definition at line 3394 of file ocilib_impl.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

GetColumnCount()

unsigned int ocilib::TypeInfo::GetColumnCount ( ) const

inline

Return the number of columns contained in the type.

Note

• For table and views, it is the number of columns
• For types, it is the number of member properties

Definition at line 3419 of file ocilib_impl.hpp.

References ocilib::Check(), and OCI_TypeInfoGetColumnCount().

GetColumn()

Column ocilib::TypeInfo::GetColumn ( unsigned int  index ) const

inline

Return the column from its index in the resultset.

Parameters

index

- Column index

Note

Column position starts at 1.

• For table and views, the returned column object describes a table/view column
• For types, the returned column object describes an object property

Definition at line 3424 of file ocilib_impl.hpp.

References ocilib::Check(), and OCI_TypeInfoGetColumn().

IsFinalType()

boolean ocilib::TypeInfo::IsFinalType ( ) const

inline

Indicate if the given UDT type is final.

Note

Non-final types are virtual UDT type that can be inherited

Returns

• For table and views, it returns true
• For types, it returns true if the type is final and false if it is virtual

Definition at line 3429 of file ocilib_impl.hpp.

References ocilib::Check(), and OCI_TypeInfoIsFinalType().

GetSuperType()

TypeInfo ocilib::TypeInfo::GetSuperType ( ) const

inline

Return the super type of the given type (e.g. parent type for a derived ORACLE UDT type)

Note

This property is only valid for types

Returns

• For table and views, it return a null TypeInfo object
• For types:
  • returns a valid Typeinfo object wrapping the parent super type
  • returns a null TypeInfo object if the given type is NOT deriving from a base type

Definition at line 3434 of file ocilib_impl.hpp.
