Class DescriptorQueryManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

public class DescriptorQueryManager

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

Purpose: The query manager allows for the database opperations that TopLink performs to be customized by the application. For each descriptor a query can be given that controls how a operation will occur. A common example is if the application requires a stored procedure to be used to insert the object, it can override the SQL call in the insert query that TopLink will use to insert the object. Queries can be customized to extend TopLink behavior, access non-relational data or use stored procedures or customized SQL calls.

The queries that can be customized include:

• insertQuery - used to insert the object
• updateQuery - used to update the object
• readObjectQuery - used to read a single object by primary key
• readAllQuery - used to read all of the objects of the class
• doesExistQuery - used to determine whether an insert or update should occur
• deleteQuery - used to delete the object
