public Interface Row4<T1, T2, T3, T4>

Row value expressions are mainly useful for use in predicates, when comparing several values in one go, which can be more elegant than expanding the row value expression predicate in other equivalent syntaxes. This is especially true for non-equality predicates. For instance, the following two predicates are equivalent in SQL:

(A, B) > (X, Y)
(A > X) OR (A = X AND B > Y)

Example:

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

using(configuration)
   .select()
   .from(CUSTOMER)
   .where(row(CUSTOMER.FIRST_NAME, CUSTOMER.LAST_NAME).in(
       select(ACTOR.FIRST_NAME, ACTOR.LAST_NAME).from(ACTOR)
   ))
   .fetch();

Instances can be created using DSL#row(Object...) and overloads.
