  net.toften.jlips.persist.db.pk.PrimaryKeyHandlerFactory

public final class PrimaryKeyHandlerFactory
extends Object

This factory is used to manage the primary keys for the records in the database Each record must have a primary key field. The primary key must be defined in the database when the table is created. The SQL for this could be: CREATE TABLE person ( id INTEGER , name VARCHAR(40) , birthday DATE , PRIMARY KEY(id) ); Each table should only have one primary key field. The factory will create a handler for the primary key of each table. This is done when the TableHandler is created.
