Method Details

createPrimaryKey

public static IndexType createPrimaryKey(boolean persistent,
 boolean hash)

Create a primary key index.

Parameters:

persistent - if the index is persistent

hash - if a hash index should be used

Returns:

the index type

createUnique

public static IndexType createUnique(boolean persistent,
 boolean hash)

Create a unique index.

Parameters:

persistent - if the index is persistent

hash - if a hash index should be used

Returns:

the index type

createNonUnique

public static IndexType createNonUnique(boolean persistent)

Create a non-unique index.

Parameters:

persistent - if the index is persistent

Returns:

the index type

createNonUnique

public static IndexType createNonUnique(boolean persistent,
 boolean hash,
