Constructor Detail

ExprCoalesce

public ExprCoalesce(CoalesceList cList)

Constructs a new ExprCoalesce. The CoalesceList represents a list of expressions from which the first non-null expression will be returned by ExprCoalesce.

Parameters:

cList - the name of the CoalesceList object that has been populated with expressions (objects of type Expr).

Method Detail

getCoalesceList

public CoalesceList getCoalesceList()

Gets the CoalesceList for this ExprCoalesce.

Returns:

The CoalesceList for this ExprCoalesce.

setCoalesceList

public void setCoalesceList(CoalesceList cList)

Sets the CoalesceList for this ExprCoalesce.

Parameters:

cList - a CoalesceList object that has been populated with expressions (objects of type Expr).

toString

public String toString()

Returns the string form of this ExprCoalescep. These are of the format:

COALESCE(expression1, expression2...)

where each expression is an expression in the CoalesceList.

Specified by:

toString in interface QueryNode

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A string representation of the ExprCoalesce in the specified format.

toWire

public String toWire()

Returns the wire form of this ExprCoalesce. This method is not intended for public use because the wire format is subject to change.

Specified by:

toWire in interface QueryNode

Returns:

A wire format representation of this ExprCoalesce.

validateSyntax

public void validateSyntax()
                    throws SyntaxException

Validates the syntax of this ExprCoalesce. An ExprCoalesce is valid if the CoalesceList is not null and is valid

Specified by:

validateSyntax in interface QueryNode

Throws:

SyntaxException - if the syntax requirements are not satisfied.
