Method Details

getColumnId

public int getColumnId()

Description copied from interface: Qualifier

Get the (zero based) id of the column to be qualified.

This id is the column number of the column in the table, no matter whether a partial column set is being retrieved by the actual fetch. Note that the column being specified in the qualifier must appear in the column list being fetched.

Specified by:

getColumnId in interface Qualifier

See Also:

• Qualifier.getColumnId()

getOrderable

public DataValueDescriptor getOrderable()
                                 throws StandardException

Description copied from interface: Qualifier

Get the value that the column is to be compared to.

Specified by:

getOrderable in interface Qualifier

Throws:

StandardException - Thrown on error

See Also:

• Qualifier.getOrderable()

getOperator

public int getOperator()

Get the operator to use in the comparison.

Specified by:

getOperator in interface Qualifier

See Also:

• Qualifier.getOperator()

negateCompareResult

public boolean negateCompareResult()

Should the result from the compare operation be negated? If true then only rows which fail the compare operation will qualify.

Specified by:

negateCompareResult in interface Qualifier

See Also:

• Qualifier.negateCompareResult()

getOrderedNulls

public boolean getOrderedNulls()

Get the getOrderedNulls argument to use in the comparison.

Specified by:

getOrderedNulls in interface Qualifier

See Also:

• Qualifier.getOrderedNulls()

getUnknownRV

public boolean getUnknownRV()

Get the getOrderedNulls argument to use in the comparison.

Specified by:

getUnknownRV in interface Qualifier

See Also:

• Qualifier.getUnknownRV()

clearOrderableCache

public void clearOrderableCache()

Clear the DataValueDescriptor cache, if one exists. (The DataValueDescriptor can be 1 of 3 types: o VARIANT - cannot be cached as its value can vary within a scan o SCAN_INVARIANT - can be cached within a scan as its value will not change within a scan o QUERY_INVARIANT- can be cached across the life of the query as its value will never change o CONSTANT - never changes

Specified by:

clearOrderableCache in interface Qualifier

See Also:

• Qualifier.getUnknownRV()

reinitialize

public void reinitialize()

This method reinitializes all the state of the Qualifier. It is used to distinguish between resetting something that is query invariant and something that is constant over every execution of a query. Basically, clearOrderableCache() will only clear out its cache if it is a VARIANT or SCAN_INVARIANT value. However, each time a query is executed, the QUERY_INVARIANT qualifiers need to be reset.

Specified by:

reinitialize in interface Qualifier

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
