new¶

The constructor.

Object names in SQLite have no inherent limit. 60 has been arbitrarily chosen.

_get_create_table_sql¶

Generate create table statement for a single table using SQLite syntax:

Includes class comments before the table definition.

Includes autoupdate triggers based on the class comment.

Includes foreign key support of the form

  foreign key(thisColumn)  references thatTable(thatColumn) {action}

Where {action} is the optional contraint condition, such as 'on delete cascade' exactly as entered in the diagram.

autoupdate triggers

If the class comment includes a line like:

<autoupdate:foo/>

Then an 'after update' trigger is generated for this table which executes the statement foo for the updated row.

Examples of use include tracking record modification dates ("<autoupdate:dtModified=datetime('now')/">) or deriving a value from another field ("<autoupdate:sSoundex=soundex(sName)/">)

_create_pk_string¶

Override default function to include foreign key clauses

  drop table {foo} if exists

get_view_drop¶
