public final class DateTime
extends AbstractExpression

This Expression represents a date or time. It supports the following identifiers:

CURRENT_DATE: This function returns the value of current date on the database server.

CURRENT_TIME: This function returns the value of current time on the database server.

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP: This function returns the value of current timestamp on the database server.

BNF: functions_returning_datetime ::= CURRENT_DATE | CURRENT_TIME | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

The JDBC escape syntax may be used for the specification of date, time, and timestamp literals.

BNF: expression ::= {d 'yyyy-mm-dd'} | {t 'hh:mm:ss'} | {ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f...'}

Constructor Detail

DateTime

DateTime(AbstractExpression parent)
Creates a new DateTime.
Parameters:
parent - The parent of this expression
Method Detail

accept

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

acceptChildren

public void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
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() or Expression.getChildren() is called.

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

Parameters:
visitor - The visitor to visit the children of this object.

addOrderedChildrenTo

void addOrderedChildrenTo(java.util.List<StringExpression> children)
Adds the StringExpressions representing this Expression.
Overrides:
addOrderedChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
children - The list used to store the string representation of this Expression

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()
Returns the BNF of this Expression.
Specified by:
getQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression
Returns:
The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

getText

public java.lang.String getText()
Returns the encapsulated text of this AbstractExpression, which can be used in various ways, it can be a keyword, a literal, etc.
Overrides:
getText in class AbstractExpression
Returns:
The full text of this expression or a keyword, or only what this expression encapsulates

isCurrentDate

public boolean isCurrentDate()
Determines whether this DateTime represents the JPQL identifier CURRENT_DATE.
Returns:
true if this Expression represents CURRENT_DATE; false otherwise

isCurrentTime

public boolean isCurrentTime()
Determines whether this DateTime represents the JPQL identifier CURRENT_TIME.
Returns:
true if this Expression represents CURRENT_TIME; false otherwise

isCurrentTimestamp

public boolean isCurrentTimestamp()
Determines whether this DateTime represents the JPQL identifier CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
Returns:
true if this Expression represents CURRENT_TIMESTAMP; false otherwise

isJDBCDate

public boolean isJDBCDate()
Determines whether this DateTime represents the JDBC escape syntax for date, time, timestamp formats.
Returns:
true if this Expression represents a JDBC escape syntax; false otherwise

parse

void parse(WordParser wordParser,
           boolean tolerant)
Parses the query by starting at the current position, which is part of the given WordParser.
Specified by:
parse in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor
tolerant - Determines whether the parsing system should be tolerant, meaning if it should try to parse invalid or incomplete queries

parseIdentifier

private java.lang.String parseIdentifier(WordParser wordParser)

parseJDBCEscapeFormat

private void parseJDBCEscapeFormat(WordParser wordParser)

toParsedText

public java.lang.String toParsedText()
Returns a string representation of this StringExpression and its children. The expression should contain whitespace even if the beautified version would not have any. For instance, "SELECT e " should be returned where Expression#toText() would return "SELECT e".
Specified by:
toParsedText in interface Expression
Overrides:
toParsedText in class AbstractExpression
Returns:
The string representation of this StringExpression

toParsedText

void toParsedText(java.lang.StringBuilder writer,
                  boolean includeVirtual)
Generates a string representation of this Expression.
Specified by:
toParsedText in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
writer - The buffer used to append this Expression's string representation
includeVirtual - Determines whether to include any characters that are considered virtual, i.e. that was parsed when the query is incomplete and is needed for functionality like content assist
