Detailed Description

Public class that represents a file composed of blocks with tables.

This class represents an ordered container of data blocks. Data blocks can come from DDL, dictionary or CIF files, where each data block is a container of tables. This class provides methods for construction and destruction, data blocks manipulation (addition, retrieval, renaming.). The class does in-memory management of data blocks, as well as serialization and de-serialization to and from a file. The class supports the following file modes: read-only, create, update and virtual. In read-only mode, blocks and tables can only be read (from an existing table file that has been previously serialized to a file) and cannot be modified. Create mode is used to create a table file from scratch and add/update blocks and tables in it and serialize it to a file. Update mode is used to update an existing table file (that has been previously serialized to a file). Virtual mode only provides in-memory management of data blocks and is used when object persistency is not needed. Hence, all modes except virtual mode provide association between in-memory data blocks and persistent data blocks stored in a file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TableFile::TableFile ( const StringCompare::eCompareType  caseSense = StringCompare::eCASE_SENSITIVE  ) 

Constructs a table file.

Parameters:
[in] caseSense - optional parameter that indicates case sensitivity of table names in blocks. Possible values are case sensitive and case in-sensitive. If not specified, case sensitive table names are assumed.
Returns:
Not applicable
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
Constructed table file has virtual file mode.
Exceptions:
 None

TableFile::TableFile ( const eFileMode  fileMode,
const string &  fileName,
const StringCompare::eCompareType  caseSense = StringCompare::eCASE_SENSITIVE 
)

Constructs a table file.

Parameters:
[in] fileMode - table file mode. Possible values are read-only, create, update and virtual.
[in] fileName - relative or absolute name of the file where object persistency is maintained. If fileMode specifies virtual mode, this parameter is ignored.
[in] caseSense - optional parameter that indicates case sensitivity of table names in blocks. Possible values are case sensitive and case in-sensitive. If not specified, case sensitive table names are assumed.
Returns:
Not applicable
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

TableFile::~TableFile (  )  [virtual]

Destructs a table file, by first flushing all the modified tables in data blocks (for create mode or update mode) and then releasing all in-memory objects.

Parameters:
 Not applicable
Returns:
Not applicable
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None


Member Function Documentation

string TableFile::GetFileName ( void   )  [inline]

Retrieves the name of the file that persistently holds data blocks and their tables.

Parameters:
 None
Returns:
String that contains the file name.
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

eFileMode TableFile::GetFileMode ( void   )  [inline]

Retrieves table file mode.

Parameters:
 None
Returns:
READ_MODE - if read-only mode

CREATE_MODE - if create mode

UPDATE_MODE - if update mode

VIRTUAL_MODE - if virtual mode

Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

StringCompare::eCompareType TableFile::GetCaseSensitivity ( void   )  [inline]

Retrieves case sensitivity of table names in blocks.

Parameters:
 None
Returns:
eCASE_SENSITIVE - if case sensitive

eCASE_INSENSITIVE - if case in-sensitive

Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

unsigned int TableFile::GetStatusInd ( void   )  [inline]

Retrieves table file status in form of one or more flags.

Parameters:
 None
Returns:
One or more of these flags:
eCLEAR_STATUS - no flag value indicates that there are no flags set
eDUPLICATE_BLOCKS - flag that indicates existence of blocks with the same name, which are internally stored with different names
eUNNAMED_BLOCKS - flag that indicates existence of blocks with empty names
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

unsigned int TableFile::GetNumBlocks (  )  [inline]

Retrieves the number of data blocks in the table file.

Parameters:
 None
Returns:
The number of data blocks in the table file.
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

void TableFile::GetBlockNames ( vector< string > &  blockNames  ) 

Retrieves data block names.

Parameters:
[out] blockNames - retrieved data block names
Returns:
None
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

string TableFile::GetFirstBlockName (  ) 

Retrieves the name of the first data block.

Parameters:
 None
Returns:
String that contains the name of the first data block.
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

bool TableFile::IsBlockPresent ( const string &  blockName  ) 

Checks for data block existence.

Parameters:
[in] blockName - the name of the data block
Returns:
true - if data block exists

false - if data block does not exist

Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

string TableFile::AddBlock ( const string &  blockName  ) 

Adds a block to the table file. If a block with the specified name already exists, table file stores it under different internal name, that is obtained by appending a "#" symbol and the current block count. After writing blocks, with these kinds of block names, to an ASCII file, "#" symbol becomes a comment and the text after it is ignored. This enables the preservation of all duplicate blocks in the written file.

Parameters:
[in] blockName - the name of the data block
Returns:
String that contains the internally assigned data block name. This value is different from blockName, if data block with the name blockName, already exists when this method is invoked.
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
 None

Block & TableFile::GetBlock ( const string &  blockName  ) 

Retrieves a reference to the data block in the table file.

Parameters:
[in] blockName - the name of the data block
Returns:
Reference to the data block in the table file.
Precondition:
Data block with name blockName must be present
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
NotFoundException - if data block with name blockName does not exist

string TableFile::RenameBlock ( const string &  oldBlockName,
const string &  newBlockName 
)

Changes the data block name.

Parameters:
[in] oldBlockName - the name of the data block which is to be renamed
[in] newBlockName - the new data block name
Returns:
String that contains the internally assigned data block name. This value is different from newBlockName, if data block with the name newBlockName, already exists when this method is invoked.
Precondition:
Table file must have at least one data block.

Data block with name oldBlockName must be present

Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
EmptyContainerException - if table file has no data blocks
NotFoundException - if data block with name oldBlockName does not exist

string TableFile::RenameFirstBlock ( const string &  newBlockName  )  [inline]

Changes the name of the first data block in table file.

Parameters:
[in] newBlockName - the new data block name
Returns:
String that contains the internally assigned data block name. This value is different from newBlockName, if data block with the name newBlockName, already exists when this method is invoked.
Precondition:
Table file must have at least one data block.
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
EmptyContainerException - if table file has no data blocks

void TableFile::Flush (  ) 

Writes only the new or modified tables in data blocks to the associated persistent storage file (specified at table file construction time).

Parameters:
 None
Returns:
None
Precondition:
Table file must be in create or update mode
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
FileModeException - if table file is not in create or update mode
