## Interface DatabaseBuilderProperties<T>

- Type Parameters:
    `T` - the type of the result of all set methods for method chaining
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    DatabaseBuilderParameters
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    DatabaseBuilderParametersImpl

      public interface DatabaseBuilderProperties<T>

  Definition of a properties interface for parameters of a database configuration.

  The properties defined by this interface are used to configure a `DatabaseConfiguration` instance. They mainly specify the database tables containing configuration properties. Note that many properties are mandatory; they must be provided, otherwise the builder for database configurations throws an exception.

  Important note: This interface is not intended to be implemented by client code! It defines a set of available properties and may be extended even in minor releases.

  Since:
    2.0

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### setDataSource

          T setDataSource(DataSource src)

      Sets the data source for the database configuration. All database connections are obtained from this data source. This is a mandatory property.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the data source for the database configuration
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setTable

          T setTable(String tname)

      Sets the name of the table containing configuration data. Database configuration will access this database table. This is a mandatory property.
      Parameters:
        `tname` - the name of the table with configuration data
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setKeyColumn

          T setKeyColumn(String name)

      Sets the name of the table column containing configuration keys. This is a mandatory property.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the column name
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setValueColumn

          T setValueColumn(String name)

      Sets the name of the table column containing the configuration property value. This is a mandatory property.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the column name
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setConfigurationNameColumn

          T setConfigurationNameColumn(String name)

      Sets the name of the table column containing the configuration name. This property is needed if a single database table contains the data of multiple configuration instances. Then this column is used as discriminator to select a specific configuration instance.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the column name
      Returns:
        a reference to this method for method chaining

    - #### setConfigurationName

          T setConfigurationName(String name)

      Sets the name of this configuration instance. This property is needed if a single database table contains the data of multiple configuration instances. Then SQL statements generated by the configuration contain an additional constraint filtering the configuration name column for this name.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of this configuration instance
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setAutoCommit

          T setAutoCommit(boolean f)

      Enables or disable auto commit mode. If enabled, the database configuration instance performs a commit after each database update.
      Parameters:
        `f` - the value of the auto commit flag
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining
