Method Detail

getJDBCType

public int getJDBCType(java.lang.Class javaType)

Return the JDBC type for the Java type. For some reason PostgreSQL does not seem to like the JDBC Blob type (PostgreSQL 8.2).

Overrides:

getJDBCType in class org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.DatabasePlatform

appendBoolean

protected void appendBoolean(java.lang.Boolean bool,
                             java.io.Writer writer)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Appends a Boolean value. Refer to : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/datatype-boolean.html In PostgreSQL the following are the values that are value for a boolean field Valid literal values for the "true" state are: TRUE, 't', 'true', 'y', 'yes', '1' Valid literal values for the false" state are : FALSE, 'f', 'false', 'n', 'no', '0' To be consistent with the other data platforms we are using the values '1' and '0' for true and false states of a boolean field.

Overrides:

appendBoolean in class org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.DatabasePlatform

Throws:

java.io.IOException

computeMaxRowsForSQL

public int computeMaxRowsForSQL(int firstResultIndex,
                                int maxResults)

INTERNAL: Use the JDBC maxResults and firstResultIndex setting to compute a value to use when limiting the results of a query in SQL. These limits tend to be used in two ways. 1. MaxRows is the index of the last row to be returned (like JDBC maxResults) 2. MaxRows is the number of rows to be returned PostGreSQL uses case #2 and therefore the maxResults has to be altered based on the firstResultIndex

Overrides:

computeMaxRowsForSQL in class org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.DatabasePlatform

Parameters:

firstResultIndex -

maxResults -

initializePlatformOperators

protected void initializePlatformOperators()

INTERNAL: Initialize any platform-specific operators

Overrides:

initializePlatformOperators in class org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.DatasourcePlatform

regexpOperator

toNumberOperator

protected ExpressionOperator toNumberOperator()

INTERNAL: Postgres to_number has two arguments, as fix format argument.

getTimestampQuery

public ValueReadQuery getTimestampQuery()

INTERNAL: This method returns the query to select the timestamp from the server for Postgres.

Specified by:

getTimestampQuery in interface org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.Platform

Overrides:

isJDBCExecuteCompliant

public boolean isJDBCExecuteCompliant()

Calling a stored procedure query on PostgreSQL with no output parameters always returns true from an execute call regardless if a result set is returned or not. This flag will help avoid throwing a JPA mandated exception on an executeUpdate call (which calls jdbc execute and checks the return value to ensure no results sets are returned (true))

Overrides:

isJDBCExecuteCompliant in class org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.DatabasePlatform
