All Implemented Interfaces:
Expression

public final class UpdateClause extends AbstractExpression
This is the update clause of the update statement.

An UPDATE statement provides bulk operations over sets of entities of a single entity class (together with its subclasses, if any). Only one entity abstract schema type may be specified in the UPDATE clause.

BNF: update_clause ::= UPDATE abstract_schema_name [[AS] identification_variable] SET update_item {, update_item}*

  • Constructor Details

    • UpdateClause

      public UpdateClause(AbstractExpression parent)
      Creates a new UpdateClause.
      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.

      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 AbstractExpression
      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 AbstractExpression
      Parameters:
      children - The list used to store the string representation of this AbstractExpression
    • buildCollectionExpression

      public CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()
      Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single update item.
      Returns:
      The single update item represented by a temporary collection
    • 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.

      findQueryBNF in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      findQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression
      Parameters:

      Returns:
      The JPQLQueryBNF that was used to parse the given expression
    • getActualSetIdentifier

      public String getActualSetIdentifier()
      Returns the actual SET found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.
      Returns:
      The SET identifier that was actually parsed, or an empty string if it was not parsed
    • getActualUpdateIdentifier

      public String getActualUpdateIdentifier()
      Returns the actual UPDATE found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.
      Returns:
      The UPDATE identifier that was actually parsed
    • 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
    • getRangeVariableDeclaration

      public Expression getRangeVariableDeclaration()
      Returns the Expression representing the range variable declaration.
      Returns:
      The expression that was parsed representing the range variable declaration
    • getUpdateItems

      public Expression getUpdateItems()
      Returns the Expression representing the single update item or the collection of update items.
      Returns:
      The expression that was parsed representing the single or multiple update items
    • hasRangeVariableDeclaration

      public boolean hasRangeVariableDeclaration()
      Determines whether the range variable declaration was parsed.
      Returns:
      true if the range variable declaration was parsed; false otherwise
    • hasSet
