public interface DatabaseObject

Common behavior to all database objects Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves. This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Method Summary

ConnectionProfile	getConnectionProfile() Return the database object's connection profile.
Database	getDatabase() Return the database object's database.
java.lang.String	getIdentifier() Return the database object's "identifier", which is the object's name modified so it can be used in an SQL statement (e.g.
java.lang.String	getIdentifier(java.lang.String defaultName) Return the database object's "identifier", which is the object's name modified so it can be used in an SQL statement (e.g.
java.lang.String	getName() Return the database object's name.
