Synopsis

The class TableColumn gives read and write access to a column in a table. In particular access to the column description (for name, data type, etc.) and to the column keyword set can be obtained. Another important function is isDefined, which tests if a cell (i.e. table row) in a column contains a value.

The classes ScalarColumn<T> and ArrayColumn<T> have to be used to get/put the data in the column cells. However, TableColumn has get functions for the basic data types (Bool, uChar, Short, uSort, Int, uInt, Int64, float, double, Complex, DComplex and String). Opposite to the get functions in ScalarColumn<T>, the TableColumn get functions support data type promotion.

A default constructor is defined to allow construction of an array of TableColumn objects. However, this constructs an object not referencing a column. Functions like get, etc. will fail (i.e. result in a segmentation fault) when used on such objects. The functions isNull and throwIfNull can be used to test on this. The functions attach and reference can fill in the object.

Example

See module Tables.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TableColumn() [1/4]

casacore::TableColumn::TableColumn

(

)

The default constructor creates a null object, i.e.

it does not reference a table column. The sole purpose of this constructor is to allow construction of an array of TableColumn objects. The functions reference and attach can be used to make a null object reference a column. Note that get functions, etc. will cause a segmentation fault when operating on a null object. It was felt it was too expensive to test on null over and over again. The user should use the isNull or throwIfNull function in case of doubt.

TableColumn() [2/4]

casacore::TableColumn::TableColumn	(	const Table &	,
		const String &	columnName
	)

Construct the object for a column in the table using its name.

TableColumn() [3/4]

casacore::TableColumn::TableColumn	(	const Table &	,
		uInt	columnIndex
	)

Construct the object for a column in the table using its index.

This allows to loop through all columns in a table as:

for (uInt=0; i<tab.ncolumn(); i++) {
TableColumn tabcol(tab,i);
}

Assignment has reference semantics.

It copies the object, not the data of that column to this column. Function putColumn can be used to copy the data of a column.
It does the same as the reference function.

put() [1/2]

void casacore::TableColumn::put ( rownr_t  rownr, const TableColumn &  that, Bool  preserveTileShape = False  )

inline

Copy the value of a cell of that column to a cell of this column.

This function only works for the standard data types. Data type promotion will be done if needed. An exception is thrown if this column is not writable or if the data cannot be converted.

Use the same row numbers for both cells.

Copy the values of that column to this column.

The numbers of rows in both columns must be equal. Data type promotion is possible. An exception is thrown if the data cannot be converted. This function is useful to copy one column to another without knowing their data types. In fact, this function is an assignment operator with copy semantics.

reference()

void casacore::TableColumn::reference

(

const TableColumn &

)

Change the reference to another column.

This is in fact an assignment operator with reference semantics. It removes the reference to the current column and creates a reference to the column referenced in the other object. It will handle null objects correctly.

Referenced by attach().

rwKeywordSet()

TableRecord& casacore::TableColumn::rwKeywordSet

(

)

Get read/write access to the column keyword set.

An exception is thrown if the table is not writable.

setMaximumCacheSize()

void casacore::TableColumn::setMaximumCacheSize ( uInt  nbytes ) const

inline

Set the maximum cache size (in bytes) to be used by a storage manager.

Definition at line 383 of file TableColumn.h.

References baseColPtr_p, and casacore::BaseColumn::setMaximumCacheSize().

shape()

IPosition casacore::TableColumn::shape ( rownr_t  rownr ) const

inline

Get the shape of an array in a particular cell.

Definition at line 231 of file TableColumn.h.

References baseColPtr_p, casacore::BaseColumn::shape(), and TABLECOLUMNCHECKROW.

shapeColumn()

IPosition casacore::TableColumn::shapeColumn ( ) const

inline

Get the global shape of an array (ie.

for all cells in the column). This is always set for fixed shape arrays. Otherwise, a 0-dim shape will be returned.

Definition at line 215 of file TableColumn.h.

References baseColPtr_p, and casacore::BaseColumn::shapeColumn().

table()

Table casacore::TableColumn::table

(

)

const

Get the Table object this column belongs to.

Referenced by casacore::ArrayColumn< T >::attach(), casacore::ScalarColumn< T >::attach(), and attach().

throwIfNull()

void casacore::TableColumn::throwIfNull

(

)

const

Throw an exception if the object is null, i.e.

if function isNull() is True.

throwNotWritable()

void casacore::TableColumn::throwNotWritable ( ) const

private

Throw the exception that the column is not writable.

Referenced by checkWritable().

tileShape()

IPosition casacore::TableColumn::tileShape ( rownr_t  rownr ) const

inline

Get the tile shape of an array in a particular cell.
