getTableName( ) returns String

Returns the name of the table associated with this model.

getSchemaName( ) returns String

getJavaCode( ) returns String

getTableSQL( ) returns String

Returns an SQL script used to create a table for the model. The schema is targeted for a PostgreSQL database.

getForeignKeySQL( ) returns String

Returns an SQL script used to add foreign keys to a table associated with the model. Ordinarily, the foreign keys are defined inline with the create table script.

Instead, it is easier to create all the tables first, then update the tables by adding a foreign key constraint.

getIndexSQL( ) returns String

Returns an SQL script used to add indexes to the table associated with the model.

getTriggerSQL( ) returns String

Returns an SQL script used to generate triggers

toString( ) returns String
