Methods

	Name	Description
	ContractIdentifier	Contracts an identifier for a data object with the specified type and complete identifier and an indication whether or not any cached contraction should be updated.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ExpandIdentifier	Expands an identifier for a data object with the specified type and partially complete identifier and an indication whether any cached expansion should be updated.
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (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.)
	QuickContractIdentifier	Applies an algorithm for quickly contracting an identifier, if possible.
	QuickExpandIdentifier	Applies an algorithm for quickly expanding an identifier, if possible.
	SlowContractIdentifier	Contracts an identifier by whatever means are available.
	SlowExpandIdentifier	Expands an identifier by whatever means are available.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

Typically the identifier of an object on a data source consists of an identifying string that gets passed into commands. For example, in the SQL statement SELECT * FROM mytable, the string "mytable" is a unique identifier of a data object in the context under which the statement is running.

Most often, a data source has a containment mechanism for objects, such as a catalog, schema, or package. However, such containment mechanisms introduce the need for multi-part identifiers, as a single name no longer suffices for uniquely identifying objects. For example, Oracle differs from SQL Server in grouping objects under different users, requiring that unique identifiers for data objects be qualified with user names.

However, a data source typically has a context that is applied to a given connection; this context normally depends on the user, or on which part of the system is being used. This context often eliminates the need to fully qualify all identifiers. For example, to identify a table object on an Oracle server, the full qualification requires both a user name and a table name; however, the Oracle context is such that a certain user is always the default. Thus, if a table is only identified by its name, the default user is assumed.

The DataObjectIdentifierResolver class provides a way to translate between the fully qualified form of an identifier (its expanded form) and its minimal form, which uses only those identifier parts that are absolutely required to uniquely identifier the object (its contracted form).

Since a translation from one form to another may require information about its context from the data source, there are potential performance problems if expansion and contraction are heavily required by a consumer. For this reason, this class provides a simple method of caching expansions and resolutions for specific inputs which can be used if performance becomes a problem.

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.
