OSchema - createAbstractClass()

Creates a new class in the schema.

Creating Classes

OrientDB has the concept of class within the database, which represents a broad grouping of records, similar to the table in relational contexts. Internally, OrientDB represents a class as an OClass instance. Using this method you can create a new class in the schema. Database classes are also polymorphic, you can assign an existing class as a superclass to the new class.

Syntax

OClass OSchema().createAbstractClass(String class)

OClass OSchema().createAbstractClass(String class, Oclass superClass)

OClass OSchema().createAbstractClass(
   String class, OClass superClass, OClass superclass ...)

Return Type

This method returns the newly created OClass instance.
