org.hibernate.dialect.function
Class SQLFunctionTemplate

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.hibernate.dialect.function.SQLFunctionTemplate
All Implemented Interfaces:
SQLFunction

public class SQLFunctionTemplate
extends Object
implements SQLFunction

Represents HQL functions that can have different representations in different SQL dialects. E.g. in HQL we can define function concat(?1, ?2) to concatenate two strings p1 and p2. Target SQL function will be dialect-specific, e.g. (?1 || ?2) for Oracle, concat(?1, ?2) for MySql, (?1 + ?2) for MS SQL. Each dialect will define a template as a string (exactly like above) marking function parameters with '?' followed by parameter's index (first index is 1).

Constructor Detail

SQLFunctionTemplate

public SQLFunctionTemplate(Type type,
                           String template)

SQLFunctionTemplate

public SQLFunctionTemplate(Type type,
                           String template,
                           boolean hasParenthesesIfNoArgs)
Method Detail

render

public String render(Type argumentType,
                     List args,
                     SessionFactoryImplementor factory)
Render the function call as SQL fragment.

Note, the 'firstArgumentType' parameter should match the one passed into SQLFunction.getReturnType(org.hibernate.type.Type, org.hibernate.engine.spi.Mapping)

Specified by:
render in interface SQLFunction
Parameters:
argumentType - The type of the first argument
args - The function arguments
factory - The SessionFactory
Returns:
The rendered function call

getReturnType

public Type getReturnType(Type argumentType,
                          Mapping mapping)
                   throws QueryException
The return type of the function. May be either a concrete type which is preset, or variable depending upon the type of the first function argument.

Note, the 'firstArgumentType' parameter should match the one passed into SQLFunction.render(org.hibernate.type.Type, java.util.List, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionFactoryImplementor)

Specified by:
getReturnType in interface SQLFunction
Parameters:
argumentType - The type of the first argument
mapping - The mapping source.
Returns:
The type to be expected as a return.
Throws:
QueryException - Indicates an issue resolving the return type.

hasArguments

public boolean hasArguments()
Does this function have any arguments?

Specified by:
hasArguments in interface SQLFunction
Returns:
True if the function expects to have parameters; false otherwise.

hasParenthesesIfNoArguments

public boolean hasParenthesesIfNoArguments()
If there are no arguments, are parentheses required?

Specified by:
hasParenthesesIfNoArguments in interface SQLFunction
Returns:
True if a no-arg call of this function requires parentheses.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:
toString in class Object
