Detailed Description

column container class that throws an exception if an unknown column is accessed

Member Function Documentation

memberGate()

AbstractColumn SqlUtil::Columns::memberGate

(

string

k

)

returns the AbstractColumn object corresponding to the key given or throws a KEY-ERROR exception

Example:

AbstractColumn c = cols.id;

Parameters

k	the name of the key to access

Returns

the value of the given key in the contained hash if it exists

Exceptions

KEY-ERROR

the given key does not exist in the contained hash

Note

this method is called automatically when an unknown or inaccessible member name is accessed from outside the class
