      • convert

      • toSqlLiteral

        public static String toSqlLiteral​(String defaultValue,
                                          Class<?> propertyType,
                                          int sqlType)
        This method checks and converts the DbDefault.value() to a valid SQL literal. This is mainly to quote string literals and verify integer/dates for correctness.

        Note: There are some special cases:

        • Normal Quoting: @DbDefault("User's default") on a String propery returns: default 'User''s default'
          (the same on an integer property will throw a NumberFormatException)
        • Special case null: @DbDefault("null") will return this: default null
          If you need really the String "null", you have to specify @DbDefault("'null'") which gives you the default 'null' statement.
        • Any statement, that begins and ends with single quote will not be checked or get quoted again.
        • A statement that begins with "$RAW:", e.g @DbDefault("$RAW:N'SANDNES'") will lead to a default N'SANDNES' in DDL. Note that this is platform specific!
