public final class SelectStatement extends AbstractSelectStatement
A SELECT query is an operation that retrieves data from one or more tables or views.
JPA:
BNF: select_statement ::= select_clause from_clause [where_clause] [groupby_clause] [having_clause] [orderby_clause]

EclipseLink 2.4:
BNF: select_statement ::= select_clause from_clause [where_clause] [groupby_clause] [having_clause] [orderby_clause] {union_clause}*

HQL query (EclipseLink 2.5):
BNF: select_statement ::= [select_clause] from_clause [where_clause] [groupby_clause] [having_clause] [orderby_clause] {union_clause}*

  • Constructor Details

    • SelectStatement

      public SelectStatement(AbstractExpression parent)
      Creates a new SelectStatement.
      Parameters:
      parent - The parent of this expression

  • Method Details

    • accept

      public void accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Visits this Expression by the given visitor.
      Parameters:
      visitor - The ExpressionVisitor to visit this object

    • acceptChildren

      public void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Visits the children of this Expression. This method can be used to optimize traversing the children since a new list is not created every time Expression.children() is called.

      This does not traverse the Expression sub-hierarchy, use a subclass of AbstractTraverseChildrenVisitor in order to traverse the entire sub-hierarchy.

      Specified by:
      acceptChildren in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      acceptChildren in class AbstractSelectStatement
      Parameters:
      visitor - The visitor to visit the children of this object.

    • addChildrenTo

      protected void addChildrenTo(Collection<Expression> children)
      Description copied from class: AbstractExpression
      Adds the children of this AbstractExpression to the given collection.
      Overrides:
      addChildrenTo in class AbstractSelectStatement
      Parameters:
      children - The collection used to store the children

    • addOrderedChildrenTo

      protected void addOrderedChildrenTo(List<Expression> children)
      Description copied from class: AbstractExpression
      Adds the children of this AbstractExpression to the given list.
      Overrides:
      addOrderedChildrenTo in class AbstractSelectStatement
      Parameters:
      children - The list used to store the string representation of this AbstractExpression

    • buildFromClause

      protected FromClause buildFromClause()
      Description copied from class: AbstractSelectStatement
      Creates the expression representing the from clause of this select statement.
      Specified by:
      buildFromClause in class AbstractSelectStatement
      Returns:
      A new from clause, null can't be returned

    • buildSelectClause

      protected SelectClause buildSelectClause()
      Description copied from class: AbstractSelectStatement
      Creates the expression representing the select clause of this select statement.
      Specified by:
      buildSelectClause in class AbstractSelectStatement
      Returns:
      A new from clause, null can't be returned

    • findQueryBNF

      public JPQLQueryBNF findQueryBNF(Expression expression)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Retrieves the JPQLQueryBNF that represents the fragment of this Expression that was used when parsing the given Expression.
      Specified by:
      findQueryBNF in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      findQueryBNF in class AbstractSelectStatement
      Parameters:
      expression - The Expression that is a descendant of this one
      Returns:
      The JPQLQueryBNF that was used to parse the given expression

    • getOrderByClause

      public Expression getOrderByClause()
      Returns the Expression representing the ORDER BY clause.
      Returns:
      The expression representing the ORDER BY clause

    • getQueryBNF

      public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Returns the BNF of this Expression.
      Returns:
      The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

    • getUnionClauses

      public Expression getUnionClauses()
      Returns the Expression representing the UNION clauses.
      Returns:
      The Expression representing the UNION clauses

    • hasOrderByClause

      public boolean hasOrderByClause()
      Determines whether the ORDER BY clause is defined or not.
      Returns:
      true if the query that got parsed had the ORDER BY clause

      true if there was a whitespace before the ORDER BY; false otherwise

    • hasSpaceBeforeUnion

      public boolean hasSpaceBeforeUnion()

    • hasUnionClauses

      public boolean hasUnionClauses()
