Instance Attribute Summary collapse
-
#absorbed_mirror ⇒ Object
:nodoc:.
-
#absorbed_via ⇒ Object
A Reference from an entity type that fully absorbs this one.
Instance Method Summary collapse
-
#all_columns(excluded_supertypes) ⇒ Object
When absorbing this EntityType, what columns must be absorbed? This must be a fresh copy, because the columns will have References prepended.
-
#identifier_columns ⇒ Object
The identifier_columns for an EntityType are the columns that result from the identifying roles.
-
#is_auto_assigned ⇒ Object
:nodoc:.
-
#is_table ⇒ Object
Returns true if this EntityType is a table.
-
#populate_references ⇒ Object
:nodoc:.
-
#reference_columns(excluded_supertypes) ⇒ Object
When creating a foreign key to this EntityType, what columns must we include (the identifier columns)? This must be a fresh copy, because the columns will have References prepended.
