Constructor Detail

Comparison

public Comparison()

Constructs a new, empty, comparison object.

Comparison

public Comparison(SQLFragment left,
          Comparison.Comparator comparator)

Left argument only constructor - used for IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, EXISTS and NOT EXISTS.

Comparison

public Comparison(Comparison.Comparator comparator,
          SQLFragment[] argsL)

Constructs a new comparison fragment for regexp_like, which has function format.

Comparison

public Comparison(SQLFragment left,
          Comparison.Comparator comparator,
          SQLFragment right)

Constructs a new comparison fragment with the given expressions and comparator.

Method Detail

getComparator

public Comparison.Comparator getComparator()

Returns the comparator for this comparison fragment. Use getComparatorText() to return By default a Comparison object is EQUAL

getOperatorText

public java.lang.String getOperatorText()

Returns the text for the comparator for this comparison fragment. By default a Comparison object is EQUAL

Specified by:

getOperatorText in class Operation

setComparator

public void setComparator(Comparison.Comparator comparator)

Sets the comparator for this comparison object. One of the static members must be used or an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

getLeftExpression

public SQLFragment getLeftExpression()

Gets the left expression.

setLeftExpression

public void setLeftExpression(SQLFragment leftExpression)

Sets the left expression.

getRightExpression

public SQLFragment getRightExpression()

Gets the right expression.

setRightExpression

public void setRightExpression(SQLFragment rightExpression)

Sets the right expression.

setPriorOnLeft

public void setPriorOnLeft(boolean priorOnLeft)

Set whether the left expression has a PRIOR operator

getPriorOnLeft

public boolean getPriorOnLeft()

Has the left expression got a PRIOR operator

setPriorOnRight

public void setPriorOnRight(boolean priorOnRight)

Set whether the right expression has a PRIOR operator

getPriorOnRight

public boolean getPriorOnRight()

Has the right expression got a PRIOR operator
