 attribute::array_for_type [ -start_with start_with ] \
    [ -include_storage_types include_storage_types ] array_name \
    enum_array_name object_type

Fills in 2 arrays used for displaying attributes

Switches:
-start_with
(defaults to "acs_object") (optional)
-include_storage_types
(defaults to "type_specific") (optional)
Parameters:
array_name - The name of the array to hold the basic attribute information. The attributes defined are: * array_name(pretty_name:$name) The pretty_name of the attribute * array_name(id:$name) The attribute_id of the attribute * array_name(datatype:$name) The datatype of the attribute
enum_array_name - The name of the array to hold the pretty name of the values of an enumeration. This is only used when the datatype of the attribute_name is enumeration. This array is a mapping from "$attribute_name:enum_value" to value_pretty_name.
object_type - The object for which we are looking up attributes
Returns:
A list of all the names of attributes we looked up. This list can be used to iterated through the arrays:
            set attr_list [attribute::array_for_type attr_props enum_values "group"]
            foreach key $attr_list {
                set attribute_id $attr_props(id:$attribute_name)
                ...
            }

attribute::datatype_to_sql_type (private)

 attribute::datatype_to_sql_type [ -default default ] table column \
    datatype

Returns the appropriate sql type for a table definition based on the table, column, datatype, and default value. Note that for default values, this proc automatically generates appropriate constraint names as well.

Switches:
-default
(optional)
If specified, we add a default clause to the SQL statement
Parameters:
table

attribute::datatype_validator_exists_p (public)

 attribute::datatype_validator_exists_p datatype

Returns 1 if we have a validator for this datatype. 0 otherwise. We currently do not support the "date" datatype and hardcoded support for enumeration. This is hardcoded in this procedure. Also, this procedure assumes that validators are procedures named ::template::data::validate::$datatype

Parameters:

attribute::delete (public)

 attribute::delete attribute_id

Delete the specified attribute id and all its values. This is irreversible. Returns 1 if the attribute was actually deleted. 0 otherwise.

Testcases:

attribute::exists_p (public)

 attribute::exists_p [ -convert_p convert_p ] object_type \
    orig_attribute

Returns 1 if the object type already has an attribute of the given name.

Switches:
-convert_p
(defaults to "t") (optional)
If t, we convert the attribute using plsql_utility::generate_oracle_name
Parameters:
object_type
orig_attribute - The attribute in which we are interested. Note that if convert_p is set to t, we will internally look for the converted attribute name
Returns:
1 if the object type already has an attribute of the specified name. 0 otherwise
