Hi Youngho,
I am afraid my current draft does not allow TABLE enums (as you use), only
COLUMN enums (which was my primary use case).
I now see that your use case also makes sense, I did not think of it before.
For your current ROLE table, do you need the ROLE_NAME in database?
If not, you could still use the column enum solution for the id column.
I need to think about whether it would be possible to make Tables enum.
Perhaps something like this
<table name="TURBINE_ROLE" idMethod="idbroker" isEnum="true">
<column name="ROLE_ID" required="true" primaryKey="true" type="INTEGER">
<enum-value value="1"/>
<enum-value value="2"/>
<enum-value value="3"/>
</column>
<column name="ROLE_NAME" required="true" size="99" type="VARCHAR"
javaName="Name">
<enum-value value="Guest"/>
<enum-value value="Member"/>
<enum-value value="Owner"/>
<column>
<unique>
<unique-column name="ROLE_NAME"/>
</unique>
</table>
Obviously, there needs to be the same number of <enum-value> elements for each
column for this to work.
About primary keys: in most databases you can define primary key values
although the database can determine it itself.
So in your case It should be possible to fill the TURBINE_ROLE table by a
manual SQL where you determine the id (and not the database).
Besides: is there any reason you use idbroker? All currently supported
databases have a native mechanism to create ids.

Betreff: Re: generate enum from db at runtime
Hello Thomas,
Ah now I understand your previous message regarding reverse engineering.
The primary key information is allocated by the inserting the role
therefore torque generator has no way to know the primary key value
when it generate the enum
Umm..
But we can set the primary key value in the schema enum-value, don't you ?
also the description value is also needed as you mentioned in the jira.
Thanks,
Youngho
