Interface BasePredicateBuilder<T extends BasePredicateBuilder<T>>

Type Parameters:
T - The concrete builder type
All Known Subinterfaces:
PredicateAndBuilder<T>, PredicateBuilder, PredicateOrBuilder<T>
public interface BasePredicateBuilder<T extends BasePredicateBuilder<T>>
A base interface for builders that support filtering. This is related to the fact, that a query builder supports predicate clauses.

  • Method Details

    • subquery

      SubqueryInitiator<RestrictionBuilder<T>> subquery()
      Starts a SubqueryInitiator for the left hand side of a predicate. When the subquery builder and the restriction builder for the right hand side are finished, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Returns:
      The subquery initiator for building a subquery

    • subquery

      SubqueryInitiator<RestrictionBuilder<T>> subquery(String subqueryAlias, String expression)
      Starts a SubqueryInitiator for the left hand side of a predicate.

      All occurrences of subqueryAlias in expression will be replaced by the subquery. When the subquery builder and the restriction builder for the right hand side are finished, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.

      Parameters:
      subqueryAlias - The alias for the subquery which will be replaced by the actual subquery
      expression - The expression which will be used as left hand side of a predicate. This expression contains the subqueryAlias to define the insertion points for the subquery.
      Returns:
      The subquery initiator for building a subquery

    • subqueries

      MultipleSubqueryInitiator<RestrictionBuilder<T>> subqueries(String expression)
      Starts a MultipleSubqueryInitiator for the left hand side of a predicate.

      All occurrences of subsequently defined subqueryAliases in expression will be replaced by the respective subquery. When the builder finishes, the resulting expression is used for the left hand side of the predicate.

      Parameters:
      expression - The expression which will be used as left hand side of a predicate
      Returns:
      The subquery initiator for building multiple subqueries for their respective subqueryAliases

    • subquery

      SubqueryBuilder<RestrictionBuilder<T>> subquery(FullQueryBuilder<?,?> criteriaBuilder)
      Starts a SubqueryBuilder based on the given criteria builder for the left hand side of a predicate. When the subquery builder and the restriction builder for the right hand side are finished, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Parameters:
      criteriaBuilder - The criteria builder to base the subquery on
      Returns:
      The subquery builder for building a subquery

    • subquery

      SubqueryBuilder<RestrictionBuilder<T>> subquery(String subqueryAlias, String expression, FullQueryBuilder<?,?> criteriaBuilder)
      Starts a SubqueryBuilder based on the given criteria builder for the left hand side of a predicate. All occurrences of subqueryAlias in expression will be replaced by the subquery. When the subquery builder and the restriction builder for the right hand side are finished, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Parameters:
      subqueryAlias - The alias for the subquery which will be replaced by the actual subquery
      expression - The expression which will be used as left hand side of a predicate
      criteriaBuilder - The criteria builder to base the subquery on
      Returns:
      The subquery builder for building a subquery

    • withExpression

      T withExpression(String expression)
      Adds the given expression as expression for the where clause.
      Parameters:
      expression - The where expression
      Returns:
      The builder

    • withExpressionSubqueries

      MultipleSubqueryInitiator<T> withExpressionSubqueries(String expression)
      Starts a MultipleSubqueryInitiator for expression of the where clause.

      All occurrences of subsequently defined subqueryAliases in expression will be replaced by the respective subquery. When the builder finishes, the resulting expression is added as expression to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.

      Parameters:
      expression - The where expression
      Returns:
      The subquery initiator for building multiple subqueries for their respective subqueryAliases

    • expression

      RestrictionBuilder<T> expression(String expression)
      Starts a RestrictionBuilder for a where predicate with the given expression as left hand expression. When the builder finishes, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Parameters:
      expression - The left hand expression for a where predicate
      Returns:
      The restriction builder for the given expression

    • selectCase

      CaseWhenStarterBuilder<RestrictionBuilder<T>> selectCase()
      Starts a CaseWhenBuilder for a where predicate. When the CaseWhenBuilder and the restriction builder for the right hand side are finished, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Returns:
      A CaseWhenBuilder

    • selectCase

      SimpleCaseWhenStarterBuilder<RestrictionBuilder<T>> selectCase(String expression)
      Starts a SimpleCaseWhenBuilder for a where predicate. When the CaseWhenBuilder and the restriction builder for the right hand side are finished, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Parameters:
      expression - Case operand expression
      Returns:
      A CaseWhenBuilder

    • exists

      SubqueryInitiator<T> exists()
      Starts an exists predicate for the where clause with a subquery on the right hand side. When the builder finishes, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Returns:
      The subquery initiator for building a subquery

    • notExists

      SubqueryInitiator<T> notExists()
      Starts an not exists predicate for the where clause with a subquery on the right hand side. When the builder finishes, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Returns:
      The subquery initiator for building a subquery

    • exists

      SubqueryBuilder<T> exists(FullQueryBuilder<?,?> criteriaBuilder)
      Starts an exists predicate for the where clause with a subquery on the right hand side based on the given criteria builder. When the builder finishes, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Parameters:
      criteriaBuilder - The criteria builder to base the subquery on
      Returns:
      The subquery builder for building a subquery

    • notExists

      SubqueryBuilder<T> notExists(FullQueryBuilder<?,?> criteriaBuilder)
      Starts an exists predicate for the where clause with a subquery on the right hand side based on the given criteria builder. When the builder finishes, the predicate is added to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
      Parameters:
      criteriaBuilder - The criteria builder to base the subquery on
      Returns:
      The subquery builder for building a subquery
