    Get Column Meta

    There are methods to retrieve the metadata of a single column or multiple columns of a particular table.

    Get a single column meta by columnID

    while a table’s meta data was fetched previously, now it is to fetch a particular column’s meta data of a table using getColumn() method.

    Sample Code Snippet


    Package Imports
    copy
    import com.zc.component.object.ZCColumn; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCObject; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCTable;
    copy
    //Create Base Object Instance 
ZCObject object = ZCObject.getInstance(); 
//Get a Table Instance referring the table ID on base object 
ZCTable table = object.getTable(1510000000110121L); 
//Get the Meta of a specific column of using columnID  
ZCColumn column = table.getColumn("1510000000110832");

    Get a single column meta by column name

    An alternative way to get the meta data of a column is referring to the table name instead of table Id. This also returns the same response as that of the previous one.

    Sample Code Snippet


    Package Imports
    copy
    import com.zc.component.object.ZCColumn; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCObject; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCTable;
    copy
    //Create Base Object Instance 
ZCObject object = ZCObject.getInstance(); 
//Get a Table Instance referring the table ID on base object 
ZCTable table = object.getTable(1510000000110121L); 
//Get the Meta of a specific column of using column name 
ZCColumn column = table.getColumn("Name");

    Get all the columns

    In addition to getting the meta data of a single column, you can retrieve the meta data of all the columns of a particular table using getAllColumns() method.

    Sample Code Snippet


    Package Imports
    copy
    import com.zc.component.object.ZCColumn; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCObject; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCTable;
    copy
    //Create Base Object Instance 
ZCObject object = ZCObject.getInstance(); 
//Get a Table Instance referring the table ID on base object 
ZCTable table = object.getTable(1510000000110121L); 
//Get all the Columns in the Table 
List columns = table.getAllColumns();
