Method Details

setPrimary

void setPrimary(boolean setPrimary)
         throws InoNetException,
SrvErrorException

Sets the ERAttribute to primary or not primary.

Parameters:

setPrimary -

Throws:

InoNetException

SrvErrorException

List<ERForeignKey> getERForeignKey(K_CONTROL_OPTION... behaviourFlags)
                            throws InoNetException,
SrvErrorException

List of foreign keys that use this attribute.

Parameters:

behaviourFlags - An optional list of enum values to control the behaviour of the command.

Throws:

InoNetException

SrvErrorException

Sorted:

the result may be sorted according to the key order in the table.

getERKeyRelationshipAttribute

List<ERAttribute> getERKeyRelationshipAttribute()
                                         throws InoNetException,
SrvErrorException

List of foreign key attributes, referencing this unique key attribute.

Throws:

InoNetException

SrvErrorException

getERKeyRelationshipAttributeRecursive

List<ERAttribute> getERKeyRelationshipAttributeRecursive(EREntity refObj)
                                                  throws InoNetException,
SrvErrorException

List of foreign key attributes, referencing this unique key attribute indirectly. This means that if a direct foreign key attribute is part of an unique key referenced by a following foreign key, the attribute of the following foreign key will be returned in this list.
Note: the direct foreign attributes are not part of this list!
The result can be restricted to attributes of the given argument refObj.

Parameters:

refObj - A further instance of type EREntity which is used to control the behaviour of the method. (see description above)

Throws:

InoNetException

SrvErrorException

List of unique keys (primary, candidate or unique) that use this attribute.

Parameters:

behaviourFlags - An optional list of enum values to control the behaviour of the command.

Throws:

InoNetException

SrvErrorException

Sorted:

the result may be sorted according to the key order in the table.
