  • Method Details

    • toQl

      String toQl(Query query, DbControl dc) throws BaseException
      Create a query language string of the query element. Use the Query.getQueryType() method to find out which query language is wanted in case the element requires different syntax for different languages.
      Parameters:
      query - The query that is about to be executed
      dc - The DbControl object used to execute the query
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - If the requested query language is not supported by the query element
      BaseException - If there is any other error
    • getChildren

      Collection<? extends QueryElement> getChildren()
      Get the children of this query element or null if it has no children. For example the AddExpression has two children, the expression beeing added.
      Returns:
