Enum LookupTable

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<LookupTable>
      edu.jhu.tmaj.beans.data.datatypes.LookupTable

All Implemented Interfaces:

NameTable, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<LookupTable>

public enum LookupTable
extends java.lang.Enum<LookupTable>
implements NameTable

Represents tables in TMAJ that act as a lookup table, even though they may have many more records. All of the Lookup Tables in the database. The term lookup table comes from Microsoft Access terminology. A lookup table has 2 columns, a primary key column, and a name key column that describes the record. For example:
TableName: EmployeeTypes
EmployeeTypeID EmployeeTypeDescription
1 Contrator
2 Full Time
3 Part Time
Then a *main* table references the lookup table. Table employees is a main table. TableName: Employees
EmployeeID FullName EmployeeTypeDescriptionID
114 J. Smith 2
115 K. Jones 2
116 B. Brown 3
There are only 3 attributes a lookup table has: it's name, the name of it's id column, and the id of its description column. For the table EmployeeTypes, it's name is EmployeeTypes, it's id column is EmployeeTypeID, and its description column is EmployeeTypeDescription.

Method Detail

values

public static LookupTable[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (LookupTable c : LookupTable.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static LookupTable valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
