    • setEvaluatable

      public void setEvaluatable(TableFilter tableFilter, boolean b)
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Tell the expression columns whether the table filter can return values now. This is used when optimizing the query.
      Specified by:
      setEvaluatable in class Expression
      Parameters:
      tableFilter - the table filter
      b - true if the table filter can return value

    • getUnenclosedSQL

      public StringBuilder getUnenclosedSQL(StringBuilder builder, int sqlFlags)
      Description copied from class: Expression

      Specified by:
      getUnenclosedSQL in class Expression
      Parameters:
      builder - string builder
      sqlFlags - formatting flags

    • updateAggregate

      public void updateAggregate(SessionLocal session, int stage)
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Update an aggregate value. This method is called at statement execution time. It is usually called once for each row, but if the expression is used multiple times (for example in the column list, and as part of the HAVING expression) it is called multiple times - the row counter needs to be used to make sure the internal state is only updated once.
      Specified by:
      updateAggregate in class Expression
      Parameters:
      session - the session
      stage - select stage
