Interface ColumnOrderingStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:

ColumnOrderingStrategyLegacy, ColumnOrderingStrategyStandard

public interface ColumnOrderingStrategy

A pluggable contract that allows ordering of columns within Table, Constraint and UserDefinedType.

Whenever reasonable, the use of a custom ColumnOrderingStrategy is highly recommended in preference to tedious and repetitive explicit table and column name mappings. It's anticipated that most projects using Hibernate will feature a custom implementation of ImplicitNamingStrategy.

An ColumnOrderingStrategy may be selected using the configuration property "hibernate.column_ordering_strategy".

Method Detail

orderTableColumns

List<Column> orderTableColumns(Table table,
                               Metadata metadata)

Orders the columns of the table. May return null if columns were not ordered.

orderConstraintColumns

List<Column> orderConstraintColumns(Constraint constraint,
                                    Metadata metadata)

Orders the columns of the constraint. May return null if columns were not ordered.

orderUserDefinedTypeColumns

List<Column> orderUserDefinedTypeColumns(UserDefinedType userDefinedType,
                                         Metadata metadata)

Orders the columns of the user defined type. May return null if columns were not ordered.

orderTemporaryTableColumns

void orderTemporaryTableColumns(List<TemporaryTableColumn> temporaryTableColumns,
                                Metadata metadata)

Orders the columns of the temporary table.
