Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
BuildString | Builds a string version of an identifier. | |
ConvertToArray | Converts a formatted string identifier into its equivalent set of identifier parts. | |
ConvertToString(String, array<Object[]) | Converts a set of identifier parts into a formatted string identifier. | |
ConvertToString(String, array<Object[], DataObjectIdentifierFormat) | Converts a set of identifier parts into a formatted string identifier, using the specified formatting option. | |
Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
FormatPart | Formats a specified identifier part. | |
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
OnSiteChanged | Raises the SiteChanged event. (Inherited from DataSiteableObject<T>.) | |
SplitIntoParts | Divides a string version of an identifier into a set of identifier parts converted into the expected format. | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
UnformatPart | Removes formatting applied to a given identifier part. |

Remarks
Typically, the identifier of an object on a data source consists of a string that is used in commands that get executed. For example, in the SQL statement SELECT * FROM mytable, the string mytable is the unique identifier of an object in the context under which the statement is running.
Typically a data source has some kind of containment mechanism for objects, such as a catalog, schema, or package. This introduces the need for multiple-part identifiers because a single name no longer suffices for uniquely identifying objects. For example, an Oracle server groups different objects under different users, causing the unique identifier of an object to be qualified with a user name.
Because the format of such multiple-part identifiers can vary from one data source to another, there has to be a way to convert a given string into its set of parts and vice versa. This class provides such a mechanism.
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
