Members
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| ForDisplay | Format the identifier as a string to be used for display purposes rather than for passing to the data source. For example, this might format the identifier of the table 'authors' owned by Fred as 'authors (Fred)'. | |
| None | No specialized formatting is applied to the string. | |
| WithQuotes | Where necessary, the identifier is enclosed in quotation marks using the correct date-source-specific quoting mechanism. Specifying this option should always cause a valid identifier that can be parsed by the data source to be created. |
Remarks
While there are many ways that a user can require a data object identifier to be formatted, this enumeration identifies those that DDEX currently recognizes as most useful.
