  +--quadbase.ChartAPI.swing.DbData

All Implemented Interfaces:

IResultSet, IRow

public class DbData

extends java.lang.Object

implements IResultSet

This class provides an implementation for the quadbase.util.IResultSet interface using an array of data. IResultSet is used to provide input data to a chart. DbData holds the data information necessary to plot a chart. They are (i) data type for each column (ii) name for each column (iii) a list of data records

A simple example of a DbData object would be follows :

String[] dataTypes = {"String", "int"};
String[] colNames = {"Column A", "Column B"};
String[][] records = {{"abc", "5"}, {"def", "9"}, {"ghi", "4"}};

DbData data = new DbData(dataTypes, colnames, records);

Constructor Summary

DbData(java.lang.String s)
Construct DbData by parsing the data value argument in HTML page. The format for the String is the same as the data file format, except that each line is ended by a vertical bar "|".

DbData(java.lang.String[] fieldName, java.lang.Object[][] records)
Construct a new DbData class

DbData(java.lang.String[] dataType, java.lang.String[] fieldName, java.lang.String[][] records)
Construct a new DbData class

Constructor Detail

DbData

public DbData(java.lang.String[] dataType,
              java.lang.String[] fieldName,
              java.lang.String[][] records)
       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Construct a new DbData class

Parameters:

dataType - an array of dataType specify by String. The following are valid data type recognize by the class.
integer : "int", "integer", "smallint", tinyint" or "short"
long : "long", "bigint"
numeric : "numeric"
decimal : "decimal"
float : "float", "real"
double : "double"
time : "time"
date : "date"
timestamp : "timestamp"
varchar : "string", "varchar"
longvarchar : "longvarchar"
boolean : "boolean", "logical", "bit"
Data type names are case insensitive.

fieldName - an array of name for each field in the record

records - array of record, record[i] consists of array of size n where n = size of dataType = size of fieldName. Each field j in i, i.e. record[i][j] represent the data pass as string. The class will convert the string to appropriate data type. For null field value use set record to null If there is a size mismatch or invalid record entry that can't convert to destination data type, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

DbData

public DbData(java.lang.String[] fieldName,
              java.lang.Object[][] records)
       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Construct a new DbData class

Parameters:

fieldName - an array of field name for data column

records - an array of records. Each field in the record is an instance of destination type. If there is a size mismatch or the data in the records is not instance of type known by the class, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

DbData

public DbData(java.lang.String s)
       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Construct DbData by parsing the data value argument in HTML page. The format for the String is the same as the data file format, except that each line is ended by a vertical bar "|".

Parameters:

s - string value from the HTML page
