public final class DeleteClause
extends AbstractExpression

This is the delete clause of the delete statement.

A DELETE 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: delete_clause ::= DELETE FROM abstract_schema_name [[AS] identification_variable]

Example: DELETE FROM Employee e

Field Detail

hasFrom

private boolean hasFrom
Determines whether the identifier FROM was parsed.

hasSpaceAfterDelete

private boolean hasSpaceAfterDelete
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after DELETE.

hasSpaceAfterFrom

private boolean hasSpaceAfterFrom
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after FROM.

rangeVariableDeclaration

private AbstractExpression rangeVariableDeclaration
The Expression representing the range variable declaration.
Constructor Detail

DeleteClause

DeleteClause(AbstractExpression parent)
Creates a new DeleteClause.
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.

addChildrenTo

void addChildrenTo(java.util.Collection<Expression> children)
Adds the children of this Expression to the given collection.
Overrides:
addChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
children - The collection used to store the children

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

getRangeVariableDeclaration

public Expression getRangeVariableDeclaration()
Returns the Expression representing the range variable declaration.
Returns:
The expression representing the range variable declaration

hasFrom

public boolean hasFrom()
Determines whether the identifier FROM was parsed.
Returns:
true if FROM was parsed; false otherwise

hasRangeVariableDeclaration

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

hasSpaceAfterDelete

public boolean hasSpaceAfterDelete()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after the identifier DELETE.
Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after the identifier DELETE; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterFrom

public boolean hasSpaceAfterFrom()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after the identifier FROM.
Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after the identifier FROM; 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

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
