OElement - getSchemaType()

This method retrieves the schema type for the record.

Retrieving Schema Types

OrientDB can run schema-less, schema-full or it can use a schema in some cases and not use one in others. In cases where the record has a schema, that is when it is defined as a particular class on the OrientDB database, this method retrieves the OClass instance to which it belongs.

Syntax

Optional<OClass> OElement.getSchemaType()

Return Value

When the record corresponding to this OElement instance has a schema class, this method returns an OClass instance. In the event that the record does not enforce a schema, it returns an empty Optional instance.
