Constructor and Description

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addCreateClauseForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute)
void	addJoinClause(String leftName, String rightName, int semantic) Overridden to not call the super implementation.
String	allowsNullClauseForConstraint(boolean allowsNull) cug: Quick hack for bug in WebObjects 5.4 where the "not null" statement is added without a space, and "addCreateClauseForAttribute" is not called anymore.
String	assembleJoinClause(String leftName, String rightName, int semantic) Overridden to construct a valid SQL92 JOIN clause as opposed to the Oracle-like SQL the superclass produces.
String	assembleSelectStatementWithAttributes(NSArray attributes, boolean lock, com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOQualifier qualifier, NSArray fetchOrder, String selectString, String columnList, String tableList, String whereClause, String joinClause, String orderByClause, String lockClause) Overridden to handle correct placements of join conditions and to handle DISTINCT fetches with compareCaseInsensitiveA(De)scending sort orders.
NSMutableDictionary	bindVariableDictionaryForAttribute(EOAttribute eoattribute, Object obj) Overridden to fix an issue with NStimestamp classes and "T" value-typed attributes.
String	columnTypeStringForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute) Overrides the parent implementation to provide support for array data types.
String	externalNameQuoteCharacter() Overridden because PostgreSQL does not use the default quote character in EOSQLExpression.externalNameQuoteCharacter() which is an empty string.
String	formatValueForAttribute(Object obj, EOAttribute eoattribute) Overridden because the original version throws when the data contains negative byte values.
String	joinClauseString() Overrides the parent implementation to compose the final string expression for the join clauses.
boolean	mustUseBindVariableForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute) Overridden to return true only if bind variables are enabled or the is a data type.
void	prepareConstraintStatementForRelationship(com.webobjects.eoaccess.EORelationship relationship, NSArray sourceColumns, NSArray destinationColumns) Overrides the parent implementation to add an INITIALLY DEFERRED to the generated statement.
void	prepareSelectExpressionWithAttributes(NSArray<EOAttribute> attributes, boolean lock, com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOFetchSpecification fetchSpec) Overridden so we can get the fetch limit from the fetchSpec.
static String	replaceStringByStringInString(String old, String newString, String buffer) Deprecated. use StringUtils#replace(String, String, String) instead
void	setUseBindVariables(boolean value) Overridden to set the disableBindVariables value correctly.
protected boolean	shouldAllowNull(EOAttribute attribute)
boolean	shouldUseBindVariableForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute) Overridden to return true only if bind variables are enabled or the is a data type.
char	sqlEscapeChar() Overridden because Postgres uses "|" instead of "\" like any other database system.
String	sqlStringForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute) Overridden because the original version does not correctly quote mixed case fields in all cases.
String	sqlStringForData(com.webobjects.foundation.NSData data) Overridden because the original version throws an exception when the data contains negative byte values.
String	sqlStringForSelector(com.webobjects.foundation.NSSelector selector, Object value) Overridden so we can put a regex-match qualifier in the display groups query bindings.
String	sqlStringForValue(Object v, String kp) Overrides the parent implementation to: add typecasts after the value, i.e.
String	tableListWithRootEntity(com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOEntity entity) Overridden because the original version does not correctly quote mixed case table names in all cases.
boolean	useBindVariables() Overridden to return the negated value of disableBindVariables().

Overrides:

addCreateClauseForAttribute in class com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOSQLExpression

allowsNullClauseForConstraint

public String allowsNullClauseForConstraint(boolean allowsNull)

cug: Quick hack for bug in WebObjects 5.4 where the "not null" statement is added without a space, and "addCreateClauseForAttribute" is not called anymore. Will probably change.

Overrides:

allowsNullClauseForConstraint in class com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.JDBCExpression

sqlStringForAttribute

public String sqlStringForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute)

Overridden because the original version does not correctly quote mixed case fields in all cases. SELECT statements were OK (useAliases is true) INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE didn't quote mixed case field names.

Overrides:

sqlStringForAttribute in class com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOSQLExpression

Parameters:

attribute - the attribute (column name) to be converted to a SQL string

Returns:

SQL string for the attribute

tableListWithRootEntity

public String tableListWithRootEntity(com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOEntity entity)

Overridden because the original version does not correctly quote mixed case table names in all cases. SELECT statements were OK (useAliases is true) INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE didn't quote mixed case field names.

Overrides:

tableListWithRootEntity in class com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOSQLExpression

Returns:

the SQL string for the table names

sqlStringForData

public String sqlStringForData(com.webobjects.foundation.NSData data)

Overridden because the original version throws an exception when the data contains negative byte values. This method is only for smaller values like binary primary keys or such.

Overrides:

sqlStringForData in class com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOSQLExpression

Parameters:

data - the data to be converted to a SQL string

Returns:

the SQL string for raw data

sqlStringForSelector

public String sqlStringForSelector(com.webobjects.foundation.NSSelector selector,
                                   Object value)

Overridden so we can put a regex-match qualifier in the display groups query bindings. You can bind '~*' or '~' to queryOperator.someKey and '.*foo' to queryMatch.someKey and will get the correct results.

Overrides:

sqlStringForSelector in class com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOSQLExpression

Parameters:

selector - the selector that specifies the SQL operator

value - the value to be associated with selector

Returns:

the SQL operator string

sqlStringForValue

public String sqlStringForValue(Object v,
                                String kp)

Overrides the parent implementation to:

• add typecasts after the value, i.e. '2'::char, which is required with certain PostgreSQL versions (<=7.4.x) for the correct query processing, particularly with index usage.
• quotes values if bind variables are disabled on this attribute.

NULL values are excluded from casting.

You can set the System default com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.PostgresqlExpression.disableTypeCasting to true to disable both fixes (the former you might want to disable when PG says it can't cast a certain value and the second when you have values with a greater resolution already in the DB).

Overrides:

sqlStringForValue in class com.webobjects.eoaccess.EOSQLExpression

Parameters:

v - the value

kp - the keypath associated with the value

useBindVariables

public boolean useBindVariables()

Overridden to return the negated value of disableBindVariables().

Overrides:

useBindVariables in class com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.JDBCExpression

setUseBindVariables

public void setUseBindVariables(boolean value)

Overridden to set the disableBindVariables value correctly.

Overrides:

Parameters:

value -

Overridden to return true only if bind variables are enabled or the is a data type.

Overrides:

shouldUseBindVariableForAttribute in class com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.JDBCExpression

mustUseBindVariableForAttribute

public boolean mustUseBindVariableForAttribute(EOAttribute attribute)

Overridden to return true only if bind variables are enabled or the is a data type.

Overrides:

mustUseBindVariableForAttribute in class com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.JDBCExpression

replaceStringByStringInString

public static String replaceStringByStringInString(String old,
                                                   String newString,
                                                   String buffer)

Replaces a given string by another string in a string.

Parameters:

old - string to be replaced

newString - to be inserted

buffer - string to have the replacement done on it
