Detailed Description

The C++ version of an object stored in a database.

Note that:

Definition at line 48 of file database_test_object.h.

database_interface::DatabaseTestObject::DatabaseTestObject ( ) [inline]

Constructs the fields, then calls initFields() followed by initPermissions().

Note that:

all fields are intialized with the type, owner (this), column name and table name

Definition at line 110 of file database_test_object.h.

database_interface::DatabaseTestObject::DatabaseTestObject ( const DatabaseTestObject * other ) [inline]

Copy-constructs the fields based on the copied instance fields, then calls initFields().

The data itself in the fields, as well as the permissions, gets copied in the field copy construction.

Definition at line 127 of file database_test_object.h.

void database_interface::DatabaseTestObject::initFields ( ) [inline]

Places all the fields in the fields_ vector and sets foreign keys and sequences.

Note that:

the address of the id_ field is noted as primary key
the addresses of all the other fields are stored in fields_
all the needed foreign keys are inserted for referencing fields that live in different table than out primary key
the sequence name used by our primary key field is noted

Definition at line 70 of file database_test_object.h.

void database_interface::DatabaseTestObject::initPermissions ( ) [inline]

Initializes permissions for the fields.

Note that:

default behavior is set for which fields are to be read from / written to the database. That this can always be changed later for any particular instance of this class, if you want to save or load any particular fields.
