pack-priv Class NextSequenceNode

Overrides org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.QueryTreeNode.acceptChildren.

Doc from org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.QueryTreeNode.acceptChildren.

Accept a visitor on all child nodes. All sub-classes that add fields that should be visited, should override this method and call accept(v) on all visitable fields, as well as super.acceptChildren(v) to make sure all visitable fields defined by the super-class are accepted too.

Parameters

v:Visitor

the visitor

Annotations

@Override

Exceptions

StandardException:

on errors raised by the visitor

Overrides org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ValueNode.bindExpression.

Bind this expression. This means binding the sub-expressions, as well as figuring out what the return type is for this expression.

Parameters

fromList:FromList

The FROM list for the query this expression is in, for binding columns.

subqueryList:SubqueryList

The subquery list being built as we find SubqueryNodes

aggregates:List<AggregateNode>

The aggregate list being built as we find AggregateNodes

Returns:ValueNode

The new top of the expression tree.

Annotations

@Override

Exceptions

StandardException:

Thrown on error

Dummy implementation to return a constant. Will be replaced with actual NEXT VALUE logic.

Parameters

ecb:ExpressionClassBuilder

The ExpressionClassBuilder for the class being built

mb:MethodBuilder

The method the expression will go into

Exceptions

StandardException:

on error

Overrides org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ValueNode.generateExpression.

Doc from org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ValueNode.generateExpression.

Generate code for this calculation. This is a place-holder method - it should not be called.

Parameters

acb:ExpressionClassBuilder

The ExpressionClassBuilder for the class being built

mb:MethodBuilder

The method the expression will go into

Annotations

@Override

StandardException:

Thrown on error

Implements abstract org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ValueNode.isEquivalent.

Doc from org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ValueNode.isEquivalent.

Tests if this node is equivalent to the specified ValueNode. Two ValueNodes are considered equivalent if they will evaluate to the same value during query execution.

This method provides basic expression matching facility for the derived class of ValueNode and it is used by the language layer to compare the node structural form of the two expressions for equivalence at bind phase.

Note that it is not comparing the actual row values at runtime to produce a result; hence, when comparing SQL NULLs, they are considered to be equivalent and not unknown.

One usage case of this method in this context is to compare the select column expression against the group by expression to check if they are equivalent. e.g.:

SELECT c1+c2 FROM t1 GROUP BY c1+c2

In general, node equivalence is determined by the derived class of ValueNode. But they generally abide to the rules below:

• The two ValueNodes must be of the same node type to be considered equivalent. e.g.: CastNode vs. CastNode - equivalent (if their args also match), ColumnReference vs CastNode - not equivalent.
• If node P contains other ValueNode(s) and so on, those node(s) must also be of the same node type to be considered equivalent.
• If node P takes a parameter list, then the number of arguments and its arguments for the two nodes must also match to be considered equivalent. e.g.: CAST(c1 as INTEGER) vs CAST(c1 as SMALLINT), they are not equivalent.
• When comparing SQL NULLs in this context, they are considered to be equivalent.
• If this does not apply or it is determined that the two nodes are not equivalent then the derived class of this method should return false; otherwise, return true.

Parameters

other:ValueNode

the node to compare this ValueNode against.

Returns:boolean

true if the two nodes are equivalent, false otherwise.
