getLength

getLength(): Integer;

The getLength method of the JadeRelationalAttributeIF interface returns the length of the type returned for this attribute from the call to the getPropertyValue method of the JadeRelationalEntityIF interface. This length is used only for variable length types, specifically the String, Binary, and Decimal primitive types.

You can use the getLength method of the Property class to define the length if the column is mapped to a JADE property. When called for unbounded String or Binary primitive types, the getLength method returns the unbounded length of the attribute. For Decimal primitive types, it returns the precision.
