allInstances

allInstances(): Collection;

The allInstances method of the JadeRelationalEntityIF interface returns a reference to a collection of objects that define all instances of the table to be used in the query.

This method is called if the table is:

• Not mapped to a JADE class using the getJadeClass method and there is no query provider defined for this table using the getQueryProvider method or there is no WHERE clause.

• Mapped to a JADE class using the getJadeClass method and the callIFAllInstances method returned true.

If the collection that is returned is a transient collection, the collection is deleted when it is no longer required.
