Method Details

getPosition

int getPosition()

The object's 1-based position in the parent.

[#17434] While in most RDBMS, this value is 1-based and a consecutive ordinal, there may be cases where a positional value is skipped, either by what's reported by the RDBMS's dictionary views, or because the definition is filtered by jOOQ-meta. Users shouldn't rely on the positions reflecting the actually generated column/attribute/etc. position.
