Class Tuple

java.lang.Object
  relop.Tuple

public class Tuple
extends java.lang.Object

Each tuple in a relation is a collection of bytes that must fit within a single page. The Tuple class provides a logical view of fields, allowing get and set operations while automatically handling offsets and type conversions.

Constructor Summary

Tuple(Schema schema)
Creates a new empty tuple, given its schema.

Tuple(Schema schema, byte[] data)
Creates a new tuple, given existing values to wrap.

Tuple(Schema schema, java.lang.Object... values)
Creates a new tuple, given its schema and values.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object[]	getAllFields() Returns generic values for all fields.
byte[]	getData() Gets the underlying data buffer.
java.lang.Object	getField(int fldno) Gets a field's value generically.
java.lang.Object	getField(java.lang.String fldName) Gets a field's value generically, by column name.
float	getFloatFld(int fldno) Gets a float field.
int	getIntFld(int fldno) Gets an integer field.
java.lang.String	getStringFld(int fldno) Gets a string field.
RID	insertIntoFile(HeapFile file) Inserts the tuple into the given heap file.
static Tuple	join(Tuple t1, Tuple t2, Schema schema) Builds and returns a new tuple resulting from joining two tuples.
void	print() Prints the tuple in a human-readable format.
void	setAllFields(java.lang.Object... values) Sets all fields, given generic values.
void	setField(int fldno, java.lang.Object val) Sets a field's value generically.
void	setField(java.lang.String fldName, java.lang.Object val) Sets a field's value generically, by column name.
void	setFloatFld(int fldno, float val) Sets a float field.
void	setIntFld(int fldno, int val) Sets an integer field.
void	setStringFld(int fldno, java.lang.String val) Sets a string field (automatically truncates, if necessary).
