public abstract class DataType extends Object implements DataValueDescriptor, Comparable
DataType is the superclass for all data types. It provides common behavior for datavalue descriptors -- it throws exceptions for all of the get* and setvalue(*) methods of DataValueDescriptor; the subtypes need only override the one for the type they represent and all types it can also be returned as, and the methods dealing with nulls. Since all types satisfy getString DataType does not define that interfaces of DataValueDescriptor. DataType is a little glue for columns to hold values with.

    • typePrecedence

      public int typePrecedence()
      Each built-in type in JSQL has a precedence. This precedence determines how to do type promotion when using binary operators. For example, float has a higher precedence than int, so when adding an int to a float, the result type is float. The precedence for some types is arbitrary. For example, it doesn't matter what the precedence of the boolean type is, since it can't be mixed with other types. But the precedence for the number types is critical. The SQL standard requires that exact numeric types be promoted to approximate numeric when one operator uses both. Also, the precedence is arranged so that one will not lose precision when promoting a type.
      Specified by:
      typePrecedence in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Returns:
      The precedence of this type.

    • compare

      public boolean compare(int op, DataValueDescriptor other, boolean orderedNulls, boolean unknownRV) throws StandardException
      Description copied from interface: DataValueDescriptor
      Compare this Orderable with a given Orderable for the purpose of qualification and sorting. The caller gets to determine how nulls should be treated - they can either be ordered values or unknown values.
      Specified by:
      compare in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Parameters:
      op - Orderable.ORDER_OP_EQUALS means do an = comparison. Orderable.ORDER_OP_LESSTHAN means compare this < other. Orderable.ORDER_OP_LESSOREQUALS means compare this <= other.
      other - The DataValueDescriptor to compare this one to.
      orderedNulls - True means to treat nulls as ordered values, that is, treat SQL null as equal to null, and less than all other values. False means to treat nulls as unknown values, that is, the result of any comparison with a null is the UNKNOWN truth value.
      unknownRV - The return value to use if the result of the comparison is the UNKNOWN truth value. In other words, if orderedNulls is false, and a null is involved in the comparison, return unknownRV. This parameter is not used orderedNulls is true.
      Returns:
      true if the comparison is true (duh!)
      Throws:
      StandardException - Thrown on error
    • compare

      public boolean compare(int op, DataValueDescriptor other, boolean orderedNulls, boolean nullsOrderedLow, boolean unknownRV) throws StandardException
      Compare this Orderable with another, with configurable null ordering. The caller gets to determine how nulls should be treated - they can either be ordered values or unknown values. The caller also gets to decide, if they are ordered, whether they should be lower than non-NULL values, or higher
      Specified by:
      compare in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Parameters:
      op - Orderable.ORDER_OP_EQUALS means do an = comparison. Orderable.ORDER_OP_LESSTHAN means compare this < other. Orderable.ORDER_OP_LESSOREQUALS means compare this <= other.
      other - The DataValueDescriptor to compare this one to.
      orderedNulls - True means to treat nulls as ordered values, that is, treat SQL null as equal to null, and either greater or less than all other values. False means to treat nulls as unknown values, that is, the result of any comparison with a null is the UNKNOWN truth value.
      nullsOrderedLow - True means NULL less than non-NULL, false means NULL greater than non-NULL. Only relevant if orderedNulls is true.
      unknownRV - The return value to use if the result of the comparison is the UNKNOWN truth value. In other words, if orderedNulls is false, and a null is involved in the comparison, return unknownRV. This parameter is not used orderedNulls is true.
      Returns:
      true if the comparison is true (duh!)
      Throws:
      StandardException - Thrown on error
    • compare

      public int compare(DataValueDescriptor other, boolean nullsOrderedLow) throws StandardException
      Compare this Orderable with another, with configurable null ordering. This method treats nulls as ordered values, but allows the caller to specify whether they should be lower than all non-NULL values, or higher than all non-NULL values.
      Specified by:
      compare in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Parameters:
      other - The Orderable to compare this one to. % @param nullsOrderedLow True if null should be lower than non-NULL
      Returns:
      <0 - this Orderable is less than other. 0 - this Orderable equals other. >0 - this Orderable is greater than other. The code should not explicitly look for -1, or 1.
      Throws:
      StandardException - Thrown on error
    • compareTo

      public int compareTo(Object otherDVD)
      Wrapper method for the "compare(DataValueDescriptor)" method of this class. Allows sorting of an array of DataValueDescriptors using the JVMs own sorting algorithm. Currently used for execution-time sorting of IN-list values to allow proper handling (i.e. elimination) of duplicates.
      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface Comparable
      See Also:
    • flip

      protected static int flip(int operator)
      Flip the operator used in a comparison (< -> >). This is useful when flipping a comparison due to type precedence.
      Parameters:
      operator - The operator to flip.
      Returns:
      The flipped operator.
    • coalesce

      public DataValueDescriptor coalesce(DataValueDescriptor[] argumentsList, DataValueDescriptor returnValue) throws StandardException
      Description copied from interface: DataValueDescriptor
      The SQL language COALESCE/VALUE function. This method is called from the language module.
      Specified by:
      coalesce in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Parameters:
      argumentsList - The list of the arguments. Function will return the first non-nullable argument if any.
      returnValue - The return value is the correct datatype for this function. The return value of this method is the type of the 2nd parameter.
      Returns:
      A DataValueDescriptor which will be either null or first non-null argument
      Throws:
      StandardException - Thrown on error

    • in

      public BooleanDataValue in(DataValueDescriptor left, DataValueDescriptor[] inList, boolean orderedList) throws StandardException
      Description copied from interface: DataValueDescriptor
      The SQL language IN operator. This method is called from the language module. This method allows us to optimize and short circuit the search if the list is ordered.
      Specified by:
      in in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Parameters:
      left - The value on the left side of the operator
      inList - The values in the IN list
      orderedList - True means that the values in the IN list are ordered, false means they are not.
      Returns:
      A BooleanDataValue telling the result of the comparison
      Throws:
      StandardException - Thrown on error

    • setValue

      public void setValue(InputStream theStream, int valueLength) throws StandardException
      Description copied from interface: DataValueDescriptor
      Set the value to be the contents of the stream.

      The reading of the stream may be delayed until execution time, and the format of the stream is required to be the format of this type.

      Note that the logical length excludes any header bytes and marker bytes (for instance the Derby specific EOF stream marker). Specifying the logical length may improve performance in some cases, but specifying that the length is unknown (UNKNOWN_LOGICAL_LENGTH should always leave the system in a functional state. Specifying an incorrect length will cause errors.

      Specified by:
      setValue in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Parameters:
      theStream - stream of correctly formatted data
      valueLength - logical length of the stream's value in units of this type (e.g. chars for string types), or UNKNOWN_LOGICAL_LENGTH if the logical length is unknown
      Throws:
      StandardException
    • checkHostVariable

      public void checkHostVariable(int declaredLength) throws StandardException
      Check the value to seem if it conforms to the restrictions imposed by DB2/JCC on host variables for this type.
      Specified by:
      checkHostVariable in interface DataValueDescriptor
      Throws:
      StandardException - Variable is too big.
    • dataTypeConversion

      protected final StandardException dataTypeConversion(String targetType)
      Return an conversion exception from this type to another.
    • outOfRange

      protected final StandardException outOfRange()
      Return an out of range exception for this type.
    • invalidFormat

      protected final StandardException invalidFormat()
