This class maps a DbType to names.

Namespace: NHibernate.Dialect

Public Class TypeNames

public ref class TypeNames

Remarks

Associations may be marked with a capacity. Calling the Get() method with a type and actual size n will return the associated name with smallest capacity >= n, if available and an unmarked default type otherwise. Eg, setting

CopyC#

Names.Put(DbType,            "TEXT" );
Names.Put(DbType,    255,    "VARCHAR($1)" );
Names.Put(DbType,    65534,    "LONGVARCHAR($1)" );

will give you back the following:

CopyC#

Names.Get(DbType)            // --> "TEXT" (default)
Names.Get(DbType,100)        // --> "VARCHAR(100)" (100 is in [0:255])
Names.Get(DbType,1000)    // --> "LONGVARCHAR(1000)" (100 is in [256:65534])
Names.Get(DbType,100000)    // --> "TEXT" (default)

On the other hand, simply putting

CopyC#

Names.Put(DbType, "VARCHAR($1)" );

would result in

CopyC#

Names.Get(DbType)            // --> "VARCHAR($1)" (will cause trouble)
Names.Get(DbType,100)        // --> "VARCHAR(100)" 
Names.Get(DbType,1000)    // --> "VARCHAR(1000)"
Names.Get(DbType,10000)    // --> "VARCHAR(10000)"
