Configuring Field Ordering

If your object-relational data type data source driver uses JDBC indexed arrays, you can specify the order in which EclipseLink persists object attributes to define the field index.


How to Configure Field Ordering Using Java

Use ObjectRelationalDescriptor method addFieldOrdering to specify the field ordering. This example shows how to specify the order of the object-relational data type database fields OBJECT_ID, F_NAME, and L_NAME for the Employee descriptor.


Field Ordering

 descriptor.addFieldOrdering("ID");
 descriptor.addFieldOrdering("F_NAME");
 descriptor.addFieldOrdering("L_NAME");
