Method Detail

selectFragment

java.lang.String selectFragment(java.lang.String alias,
                                java.lang.String columnSuffix)

Generate a list of collection index and element columns

getIndexColumnNames

java.lang.String[] getIndexColumnNames()

Get the names of the collection index columns if this is an indexed collection (optional operation)

getIndexFormulas

java.lang.String[] getIndexFormulas()

Get the index formulas if this is an indexed collection (optional operation)

getIndexColumnNames

java.lang.String[] getIndexColumnNames(java.lang.String alias)

Get the names of the collection index columns if this is an indexed collection (optional operation), aliased by the given table alias

getElementColumnNames

java.lang.String[] getElementColumnNames(java.lang.String alias)

Get the names of the collection element columns (or the primary key columns in the case of a one-to-many association), aliased by the given table alias

getElementColumnNames

java.lang.String[] getElementColumnNames()

Get the names of the collection element columns (or the primary key columns in the case of a one-to-many association)

getSQLOrderByString

java.lang.String getSQLOrderByString(java.lang.String alias)

Get the order by SQL

getManyToManyOrderByString

java.lang.String getManyToManyOrderByString(java.lang.String alias)

Get the order-by to be applied at the target table of a many to many

Parameters:

alias - The alias for the many-to-many target table

Returns:

appropriate order-by fragment or empty string.

hasWhere

boolean hasWhere()

Does this collection role have a where clause filter?

getElementPersister

EntityPersister getElementPersister()

Get the persister of the element class, if this is a collection of entities (optional operation). Note that for a one-to-many association, the returned persister must be OuterJoinLoadable.

getFetchMode

FetchMode getFetchMode()

Should we load this collection role by outerjoining?
