Generated tables
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Every table and view in your database will generate a org.jooq.Table implementation that looks like this:
public class Book extends TableImpl<BookRecord> {
// The singleton instance
public static final Book BOOK = new Book();
// Generated columns
public final TableField<BookRecord, Integer> ID = createField("ID", INTEGER, this);
public final TableField<BookRecord, Integer> AUTHOR_ID = createField("AUTHOR_ID", INTEGER, this);
public final TableField<BookRecord, String> TITLE = createField("TITLE", VARCHAR, this);
// Covariant aliasing method, returning a table of the same type as BOOK
@Override
public Book as(java.lang.String alias) {
return new Book(alias);
}
// [...]
}
Flags influencing generated tables
These flags from the code generation configuration influence generated tables:
- recordVersionFields: Relevant methods from super classes are overridden to return the VERSION field
- recordTimestampFields: Relevant methods from super classes are overridden to return the TIMESTAMP field
- syntheticPrimaryKeys: This overrides existing primary key information to allow for "custom" primary key column sets
- overridePrimaryKeys: This overrides existing primary key information to allow for unique key to primary key promotion
- dateAsTimestamp: This influences all relevant columns
- unsignedTypes: This influences all relevant columns
- relations: Relevant methods from super classes are overridden to provide primary key, unique key, foreign key and identity information
- instanceFields: This flag controls the "static" keyword on table columns, as well as aliasing convenience
- records: The generated record type is referenced from tables allowing for type-safe single-table record fetching
Flags controlling table generation
Table generation can be deactivated using the tables flag
