APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

table_name

 Title   : table_name
 Usage   :
 Function: Obtain the name of the table in the relational schema corresponding
           to the given class name, object, or persistence adaptor.

 Example :
 Returns : the name of the table (a string), or undef if the table cannot be
           determined
 Args    : The referenced object, class name, or the persistence adaptor for
           it. 

association_table_name

 Title   : association_table_name
 Usage   :
 Function: Obtain the name of the table in the relational schema corresponding
           to the association of entities as represented by their
           corresponding class names, objects, or persistence adaptors.

 Example :
 Returns : the name of the table (a string)
 Args    : A reference to an array of objects, class names, or persistence
           adaptors. The array may freely mix types.

primary_key_name

 Title   : primary_key_name
 Usage   :
 Function: Obtain the name of the primary key attribute for the given table in
           the relational schema.
