note

VeloxDB is still in beta and APIs are subject to change. We are in the process of completing the documentation, so some sections may be incomplete or empty at this time.

Class DatabaseObject

The ultimate base class of all VeloxDB database classes. Derive this class to implement a database class.

Inheritance

System.Object

DatabaseObject

Namespace: VeloxDB.ObjectInterface

Assembly: vlxdb.dll

Syntax

public abstract class DatabaseObject : Object

Constructors

DatabaseObject()

Declaration

protected DatabaseObject()

Properties

CanBeAbandoned

Gets if the object can be abandoned. Inserted, updated and deleted objects can't be abandoned. See Abandon().

Declaration

public bool CanBeAbandoned { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Id

Gets DatabaseObject's Id.

Declaration

public long Id { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int64

Remarks

DatabaseObject has an Id that is auto assigned by the database. The id represents primary key, it is unique for all database objects, across all types. The id is never reused even if the object is deleted. If you need additional keys use HashIndexAttribute or SortedIndexAttribute with IsUnique set to true.

IsAbandoned

Gets if the object is abandoned. Objects are abandoned with Abandon().

Declaration

public bool IsAbandoned { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

IsCreated

Gets if the object is created.

Declaration

public bool IsCreated { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

IsDeleted

Gets if the object is deleted.

Declaration

public bool IsDeleted { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

IsSelected

Gets or sets if the object is selected for conversion to DTO.

Declaration

public bool IsSelected { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Owner

Get's the DatabaseObject's object model.

Declaration

public ObjectModel Owner { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ObjectModel

Methods

Abandon()

Tells ObjectModel that it doesn't have to keep the reference to the object any more.

Declaration

public void Abandon()

Remarks

VeloxDB keeps data in internal unmanaged structures. When accessing objects through ObjectModel VeloxDB creates object oriented wrappers to access these structures. Besides providing access, these objects also store changes made in the transaction (updates, deletion). These objects are kept for the duration of the transaction and discarded once the transaction is done. If you only read an object and know that you wont be reading it again, you can call Abandon() to signal the database that it doesn't have to keep the object around.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.InvalidOperationException	DatabaseObject is created, updated or deleted.

Delete()

Marks the object as deleted.

Declaration

public void Delete()

Select()

Select the object for conversion to DTO.

Declaration

public void Select()
