Enum TypeNullability

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<TypeNullability>
      org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.internal.TypeNullability

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<TypeNullability>

public enum TypeNullability
extends Enum<TypeNullability>

Describes the instrinsic nullability of a data type as reported by the JDBC driver.

Enum Constant Summary

NON_NULLABLE
The data type cannot accept nulls

NULLABLE
The data type can accept nulls

UNKNOWN
It is unknown if the data type accepts nulls

Enum Constant Detail

NULLABLE

public static final TypeNullability NULLABLE

The data type can accept nulls

See Also:

DatabaseMetaData.typeNullable

NON_NULLABLE

public static final TypeNullability NON_NULLABLE

The data type cannot accept nulls

See Also:

DatabaseMetaData.typeNoNulls

UNKNOWN

public static final TypeNullability UNKNOWN

It is unknown if the data type accepts nulls

See Also:

DatabaseMetaData.typeNullableUnknown

Method Detail

values

public static TypeNullability[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (TypeNullability c : TypeNullability.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static TypeNullability valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

interpret

public static TypeNullability interpret(short code)

Based on the code retrieved from DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo() for the NULLABLE column, return the appropriate enum.

Parameters:

code - The retrieved code value.

Returns:

The corresponding enum.
