::xo::db::Class is a meta class for interfacing with acs_object_types. acs_object_types are instances of this meta class. The meta class defines the behavior common to all acs_object_types. The behavior common to all acs_objects is defined by the class ::xo::db::Object.

Returns:
object_type, typically an XOTcl class
proc get_table_name (public)
```
::xo::db::Class get_table_name -object_type object_type 
```
Get the table_name of an object_type from the database. If the object_type does not exist, the return value is empty.

Switches:

-object_type (required)

Returns:
table_name
proc object_type_exists_in_db (public)
```
::xo::db::Class object_type_exists_in_db [ -object_type object_type ]

Check, if an object_type exists in the database.

Switches:

-object_type (optional)

Returns:
0 or 1
instproc check_table_atts (public)
```
<instance of ::xo::db::Class> check_table_atts
```
Check table_name and id_column and set meaningful defaults, if these attributes are not provided.
instproc create_object_type (public)
```
<instance of ::xo::db::Class> create_object_type
```
Create an acs object_type for the current XOTcl class
instproc drop_object_type (public)
```
<instance of ::xo::db::Class> drop_object_type \
    [ -cascade cascade ]
```
Drop an acs object_type; cascde true means that the attributes are droped as well.

clause for restricting the answer set
-from_clause (optional)
-count (boolean) (defaults to "false") (optional)
return the query for counting the solutions
-page_size (defaults to "20") (optional)
-page_number (optional)

Returns:
SQL query
instproc instantiate_objects (public)
```
<instance of ::xo::db::Class> instantiate_objects [ -dbn dbn ] \
