the column name defaults to the field name and the type is inferred from
the Java field type (String -> TEXT, int/long -> INTEGER,
float/double -> REAL, boolean -> INTEGER, byte[] -> BLOB,
java.util.Date -> INTEGER).Methods
public abstract String name() default "" | Column name. |
public abstract boolean nullable() default true | When false the column gets a NOT NULL constraint at table-create time. |
