@title Torque/DdlUtils XML database schema DTD
@hidden $Id$
-->
<!--
This defines the schema for a database. More precisely, it contains a number of DML elements that
define the schema, such as tables, foreign key relationships, indexes and so forth.<br>
<b>Note: DdlUtils only uses the <code>name</code> attribute. All other attributes are Torque-specific.</b>
-->
<!ELEMENT database (external-schema*, table+)>
<!--
@attr name The name of the database.
@attr defaultIdMethod Defines how values for identity columns are generated.
Do not use autoincrement or sequence. They are deprecated in favor of
using native which will use the Turbine Connection pool to determine
which database it is talking to (yes, it knows that) and then use
whatever native database methodology for insert increments that it can.
Otherwise, you should use idbroker or none. none is good if you have a
table that is just a join table. idbroker is good if you want a
centralized repository for brokering out clumps of id's in a database
agnostic way.
<br><b>Note: This attribute is ignored by DdlUtils.</b>
@attr defaultJavaType Whether jdbc types are mapped to primitive types such as <code>int</code>
(if possible) by default, or to reference types such as
<code>java.lang.Integer</code>.
<br><b>Note: This attribute is ignored by DdlUtils.</b>
@attr package The package of the Java classes generated from this schema.
<br><b>Note: This attribute is ignored by DdlUtils.</b>
@attr baseClass The base class for the Java classes generated from this schema.
<br><b>Note: This attribute is ignored by DdlUtils.</b>
@attr basePeer Sorry, no documentation available.
<br><b>Note: This attribute is ignored by DdlUtils.</b>
@attr defaultJavaNamingMethod Determines how a table or column name is converted
from the name attribute in the xml database file to a Java class or method name:
<dl>
<dt>nochange</dt><dd>Indicates not change is performed.</dd>
<dt>underscore</dt><dd>Underscores are removed, First letter is capitalized, first
letter after an underscore is capitalized, the rest of the letters are converted to
lowercase.</dd>
<dt>javaname</dt><dd>Same as underscore, but no letters are converted to lowercase.</dd>
</dl>

@attr primaryKey Whether this is a primary key column.
@attr required Whether this is a required column, i.e. a column that is not
allowed to contain <code>NULL</code> values. Note that primary
key columns are <b>not</b> automatically required.
@attr type The JDBC type of the column. This will be automatically translated
to a type native to the database.

<code>int</code> (if possible), or to a reference type such as
<code>java.lang.Integer</code>.
<br><b>Note: This attribute is ignored by DdlUtils.</b>
@attr size The JDBC size specification of the column. This is type specific.
For types that have a length (such as VARCHAR), specify a single
number specifying this length. For types that have precision and
scale (such as NUMERIC), specify a pair of values "precision,scale".
@attr default The default value of the column if any. Do not specify this attribute
unless the column shall have a default value as an empty attribute
value will be passed as an empty string (not <code>NULL</code>) to
the database. This value is passed as is to the database, though you
don't need to quote it for e.g. string values.
@attr autoIncrement Whether this column is an identity column, i.e. it's value is
automatically defined by the database.
