Prerequisite

Etymology

This is the (abstract) base class to access a column in a table.

Synopsis

This class is the base class for the derived column classes. It is a private class in the sense that the user cannot get access to it. All user access to a column is done via the classes TableColumn, ScalarColumn and ArrayColumn. They call the corresponding functions in this class and its derived classes.

Motivation

This class serves a the base for the more specialized column classes like FilledScalarColumn and RefColumn. It defines many virtual functions, which are implemented in the derived classes. Some of these functions are purely virtual, some have a default implementation throwing an "invalid operation" exception. In that way those latter functions only have to be implemented in the classes which handle those cases. Tip: The class RefColumn is in fact implemented in terms of this class. Almost every function in RefColumn calls the corresponding function in BaseColumn with the correct row number.
