Primary Key Metadata

If the primary key for a table can not be determined by Weave directly from the database then the information can be provided by creating a table or directly embedding the information in the spatial engine configuration.

Column

Description

table_schema

Name of the database schema in which the table is located.

table_name

Name of the table to be published

pk_column

Name of a column used to form the feature IDs

pk_column_idx

Index of the column in a multi-column key. In case multi column keys are needed multiple records with the same table schema and table name will be used.

pk_policy

The new value generation policy, used in case a new feature needs to be added in the table ('assigned', 'sequence' or 'autogenerated').

Where:
'sequence' means that the value for the column is generated using a database sequence, and the 'pk_sequence' value must be set.
'autogenerated' means that the value for the column is generated by the database using another method.
'assigned' means that the value for the column is determined by the current maximum value +1, if the column is an integral type, or as a random string if the column is textual.

pk_sequence

The name of the database sequence to be used when generating a new value for the pk_column. The pk_sequence value only need to be set if the pk_policy is 'sequence'.
