Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`AUTO` Indicates that the persistence provider should pick an appropriate strategy for the particular database.
`IDENTITY` Indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using a database identity column.
`OTHER` Unknow or Customized IdGenerators
`SEQUENCE` Indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using a database sequence.
`SNOWFLAKE` A Snowflake ID
`SORTED_UUID` A sorted UUID
`TABLE` Indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using an underlying database table to ensure uniqueness.
`TIMESTAMP` A TimeStamp
`UUID_ANY` A Any length UUID
`UUID25` A 25 character length UUID

- Enum Constant Detail
  - TABLE
```
public static final GenerationType TABLE
```
    Indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using an underlying database table to ensure uniqueness.
  - SEQUENCE
```
public static final GenerationType SEQUENCE
```
    Indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using a database sequence.
  - IDENTITY
```
public static final GenerationType IDENTITY
```
    Indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using a database identity column.
  - AUTO
```
public static final GenerationType AUTO
```
    Indicates that the persistence provider should pick an appropriate strategy for the particular database. The AUTO generation strategy may expect a database resource to exist, or it may attempt to create one. A vendor may provide documentation on how to create such resources in the event that it does not support schema generation or cannot create the schema resource at runtime.
  - UUID25
```
public static final GenerationType UUID25
```
    A 25 character length UUID
  - UUID26
```
public static final GenerationType UUID26
```
    A 26 character length UUID
  - UUID32
```
public static final GenerationType UUID32
```
    A 32 character length UUID
  - UUID36
```
public static final GenerationType UUID36

```
    A Any length UUID
  - SORTED_UUID
```
public static final GenerationType SORTED_UUID
```
    A sorted UUID
  - TIMESTAMP
```
public static final GenerationType TIMESTAMP
```
    A TimeStamp
  - SNOWFLAKE

```
    Unknow or Customized IdGenerators
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static GenerationType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (GenerationType c : GenerationType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static GenerationType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
