java.lang.Object org.eclipse.persistence.history.HistoryPolicy
public class HistoryPolicy
Purpose:Expresses how historical data is saved on the data store.
This information is used to both maintain a history of all objects modified through TopLink and to enable point in time querying.
If Oracle 9R2 or later Flashback is used this policy is not required, as the preservation of history is automatic.
Descriptors, ManyToManyMappings, DirectCollectionMappings, and DirectMapMappings only can have a history policy, as only they have associated database tables.

public void addHistoryTableName(java.lang.String name)
Assumes that the order in which tables are added with descriptor.addTableName() matches the order in which mirroring historical tables are added with descriptor.addHistoryTableName().
public void addHistoryTableName(java.lang.String sourceTableName, java.lang.String historyTableName)
Explicitly states that sourceTableName
is mirrored by history table
historyTableName
.
The order in which tables are added with descriptor.addTableName()
should still match the order in which mirroring historical tables are
added with descriptor.addMirroringHistoryTableName().
public void setHistoricalTables(java.util.Vector historicalTables)
public void setMapping(DatabaseMapping mapping)
protected void setStartFields(java.util.Vector startFields)
public void addStartFieldName(java.lang.String startFieldName)
By default all tables belonging to a descriptor have the same primary key field names, and so the same start field names also.
However, if startFieldName
is qualified, i.e. of the form
"EMPLOYEE_HIST.EMP_START", then this call will only set the start field
name for a single historical table.

public void setShouldHandleWrites(boolean value)
If history is maintained via low level database triggers or application logic a policy is still needed for point in time querying.
If Oracle flashback is used no HistoryPolicy is needed.
Setting this to false lets you use History for many other applications. For instance a table that tracks available flights or hotel deals may benefit from a HistoryPolicy just to simplify temporal querying.
If all hotel discounts have a start and end date, you could query on all discounts available at a certain date.
public boolean shouldHandleWrites()
If history is maintained via low level database triggers or application logic a policy is still usefull for point in time querying.
If Oracle flashback is used no HistoryPolicy is needed.
