A SQL keyword.

A Keyword is a QueryPart that renders a SQL keyword according to the settings specified in Settings#getRenderKeywordCase(). It is useful mostly in jOOQ's internals and for users who wish to make extensive use of "plain SQL templating".

Example:

// Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;

Field<Integer> field = field(
    "{0}({1} {2} {3})",
    SQLDataType.INTEGER,
    keyword("extract"), keyword("year"), keyword("from"), ACTOR.LAST_UPDATE
);

Instances can be created using DSL#keyword(String) and overloads.
