Etymology

NullTable represents a null table object, i.e. a Table object without an underlying table.\.

Synopsis

Nullable is used to represent a null table. The default Table constructor used to a create a null pointer which results in core dumps when the Table object is actually used. The NullTable object makes it possible to catch such cases and throw an appropriate exception.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::NullTable::NullTable (  ) 

Default constructor.

virtual casacore::NullTable::~NullTable (  )  [virtual]
casacore::NullTable::NullTable ( const NullTable  )  [private]

Copy constructor is forbidden, because copying a table requires some more knowledge (like table name of result).

Declaring it private, makes it unusable.

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

const Block< CountedPtr< BaseCompare > > &  ,
const Block< Int > &  sortOrder,

) [virtual]

Do the actual sort.

The default implementation is suitable for almost all cases. Only in RefTable a smarter implementation is provided.

Bool  byColumn 
) const [virtual]

Find the data manager with the given name or for the given column.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual Bool casacore::NullTable::isMultiUsed ( Bool  checkSubTables  )  const [virtual]

Is the table in use (i.e.

open) in another process? If checkSubTables is set, it is also checked if a subtable is used in another process.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual Bool casacore::NullTable::isNull (  )  const [virtual]

The table is a null table.

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

virtual Bool casacore::NullTable::isWritable (  )  const [virtual]

Test if this table is writable.

This tells if values can be put into a column.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual TableRecord& casacore::NullTable::keywordSet (  )  [virtual]

Get readonly access to the table keyword set.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual Bool casacore::NullTable::lock ( FileLocker::LockType  ,

Try to lock the table for read or write access.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual const TableLock& casacore::NullTable::lockOptions (  )  const [virtual]

Get the locking info.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual void casacore::NullTable::mergeLock ( const TableLock lockOptions  )  [virtual]

Merge the given lock info with the existing one.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

NullTable& casacore::NullTable::operator= ( const NullTable  )  [private]

Assignment is forbidden, because copying a table requires some more knowledge (like table name of result).

Declaring it private, makes it unusable.

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

virtual void casacore::NullTable::removeColumn ( const Vector< String > &  columnNames  )  [virtual]

Remove columns.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual void casacore::NullTable::removeRow ( uInt  rownr  )  [virtual]

Remove rows.

This will fail for tables not supporting removal of rows.
Tip: The following code fragments do NOT have the same result:

 tab;removeRow (10);      // remove row 10
 tab;removeRow (20);      // remove row 20, which was 21
 
 Vector<uInt> vec(2);
 vec(0) = 10;
 vec(1) = 20;
 tab;removeRow (vec);     // remove row 10 and 20

because in the first fragment removing row 10 turns the former row 21 into row 20;

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

virtual void casacore::NullTable::renameColumn ( const String newName,
const String oldName 
) [virtual]

Rename a column.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual void casacore::NullTable::renameHypercolumn ( const String newName,

All functions throw a "null table" exception.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual void casacore::NullTable::resync (  )  [virtual]

Resync the Table object with the table file.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual BaseTable* casacore::NullTable::root (  )  [virtual]

Get pointer to root table (i.e.

parent of a RefTable). Default it is this table. It is meant for the reference tables after a select or sort which can then still name their parent as the root.

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

virtual Vector<uInt> casacore::NullTable::rowNumbers (  )  const [virtual]

Get a vector of row numbers.

By default it returns the row numbers 0..nrrow()-1. It needs to be implemented for RefTable only.

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

virtual Bool casacore::NullTable::rowOrder (  )  const [virtual]

Tell if the table is in row order.

By default it is, since normally a table is always in row order. It is meant for RefTable-s, where the rows can be in another (sorted) order.

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

virtual Vector<uInt>* casacore::NullTable::rowStorage (  )  [virtual]

By the default the table cannot return the storage of rownrs.

That can only be done by a RefTable, where it is implemented.

Reimplemented from casacore::BaseTable.

virtual TableRecord& casacore::NullTable::rwKeywordSet (  )  [virtual]

Get read/write access to the table keyword set.

This requires that the table is locked (or it gets locked when using AutoLocking mode).

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

virtual const StorageOption& casacore::NullTable::storageOption (  )  const [virtual]

Get the storage option used for the table.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.

void casacore::NullTable::throwError ( const String name  )  const [private]

Throw an exception with the name of the function.

virtual void casacore::NullTable::unlock (  )  [virtual]

Unlock the table.

This will also synchronize the table data, thus force the data to be written to disk.

Implements casacore::BaseTable.
