All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

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
