Sets the identity strategy of the enclosing element to use the default identity strategy of the underlying relational database system.
<PersistentField [fieldName="fieldName"]>
<NativeIdGenerator [value="enabled"] />
</PersistentField>
or
<PersistentField [fieldName="fieldName"]
[NativeIdGenerator="enabled"]
/>
enabled: If set to true, the field is initialised with an appropriate database platform-specific strategy.
· The NativeIdGenerator strategy uses a default strategy which depends on the actual database-platform the DataDomain schema is compiled for.
· When the mapped field is of integer/numeric type: for MS SQL, this decalaration is the same as if <AutoIncrement> element is defined. For Oracle, this declaration is equivalent to a <Sequence> element declaration.
· When the mapped field is of type Guid: for MS SQL 2005, this declaration is the same as using <SequentialGuid/>. For all other platforms, <NewGuid/> is used.
· This mapping feature can only be applied to read only properties (i.e. can only have a getter).
· The actual platforms used may place some restrictions of their own.
The following mapping declaration:
<Type name="NativeIdSample">
…
<PrimaryKey>
<Key>Id</Key>
</PrimaryKey>
<Member name="Id"><PersistentField NativeIdGenerator="true"/></Member>
…
</Type>
Is equivalent to the following in MS SQL:
<Type name="NativeIdSample">
…
<PrimaryKey>
<Key>Id</Key>
</PrimaryKey>
<Member name="Id"><PersistentField AutoIncrement="true"/></Member>
…
</Type>
And is also equivalent to the following in Oracle:
<Type name="NativeIdSample">
…
<PrimaryKey>
<Key>Id</Key>
</PrimaryKey>
<Member name="Id">
<PersistentField>
<Sequence/>
</PersistentField>
</Member>
…
</Type>
