org.hibernate.metamodel.relational
Class Tuple

java.lang.Object
  org.hibernate.metamodel.relational.Tuple

All Implemented Interfaces:

Loggable, Value, ValueContainer

public class Tuple
extends Object
implements Value, ValueContainer, Loggable

Models a compound value (a tuple or row-value-constructor is SQL terms). It is both a Value and a ValueContainer simultaneously.

IMPL NOTE : in terms of the tables themselves, SQL has no notion of a tuple/compound-value. We simply model it this way because:

• it is a cleaner mapping to the logical model
• it allows more meaningful traversals from simple values back up to table through any intermediate tuples because it gives us a better understanding of the model.
• it better conveys intent
• it adds richness to the model
