TypedString :: assign - Assign typed string value

Implementation overview

• Create copy for typed string
  TypedString :: assign ( cTypedString )
• Create typed string from string
  TypedString :: assign ( cString )

Implementation details

1. Create copy for typed string
   odaba::TypedString & TypedString  :: assign ( odaba::TypedString &cTypedString )
   

   The function duplicates the string value and the type definition from the typed string passed in cTypedString. When the type definition is valid, the string will be converted into the internal format.

   • cTypedString - Typed string

     A typed string string contains data in the object interchange format (OIF). Typed strings are used for passing key or instance values.

2. Create typed string from string
   odaba::TypedString & TypedString  :: assign ( odaba::String &cString )
   

   The function creates a typed string from the string value passed in cString. The string is copied to the typed string. The string type is determined for the string value. When the string does not correspond to any type, the function throws an exception.

   The string value is not validated when creating the type string, but will be validated later on, when applying to a complex data type.

   • cString - Constant string object

     When iPosition exceeds the string length or when the string is empty, the the function returns -1 (lower).
