Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`RestrictionBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>`	`and(String expression)` Starts a `RestrictionBuilder` for a case when predicate with the given expression as left hand expression.
`SubqueryInitiator<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>`	`andExists()` Starts an exists predicate for the when clause with a subquery on the right hand side.
`SubqueryInitiator<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>`	`andNotExists()` Starts an exists predicate for the when clause with a subquery on the right hand side.
`SubqueryInitiator<RestrictionBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>>`	`andSubquery()` Starts a `SubqueryInitiator` for the left hand side of a when predicate.
`SubqueryInitiator<RestrictionBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>>`	`andSubquery(String subqueryAlias, String expression)` Starts a `SubqueryInitiator` for the left hand side of a when predicate.
`T`	`endAnd()` Finishes the AND predicate and adds it to the parent predicate container represented by the type `T`.
`CaseWhenOrBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>`	`or()` Starts a case when or builder which connects it's predicates with the OR operator.

```
RestrictionBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>> and(String expression)
```
    Starts a RestrictionBuilder for a case when predicate with the given expression as left hand expression. When the builder finishes, the predicate is added this predicate container.
    
    Parameters:
    expression - The left hand expression for a case when predicate
    
    Returns:
    The restriction builder for the given expression
  - andSubquery
```
SubqueryInitiator<RestrictionBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>> andSubquery()
```
    Starts a SubqueryInitiator for the left hand side of a when predicate. When the subquery builder and the restriction builder for the right hand side are finished, the when predicate in conjunction with it's then expression are added to this predicate container as conjunct.
    
    Returns:
    The subquery initiator for building a subquery
  - andSubquery
```
SubqueryInitiator<RestrictionBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>>> andSubquery(String subqueryAlias,
                                                                       String expression)
```
    Starts a SubqueryInitiator for the left hand side of a when 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 when predicate in conjunction with it's then expression are added to this predicate container as conjunct.
    
    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

  - andExists
```
SubqueryInitiator<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>> andExists()
```
    Starts an exists predicate for the when clause with a subquery on the right hand side. When the builder finishes, the when predicate in conjunction with it's then expression are added to this predicate container as conjunct.
    
    Returns:
    The subquery initiator for building a subquery
  - andNotExists
```
SubqueryInitiator<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>> andNotExists()
```
    Starts an exists predicate for the when clause with a subquery on the right hand side. When the builder finishes, the when predicate in conjunction with it's then expression are added to this predicate container as conjunct.
    
    Returns:
    The subquery initiator for building a subquery
  - or
```
CaseWhenOrBuilder<CaseWhenAndBuilder<T>> or()
```
    Starts a case when or builder which connects it's predicates with the OR operator. When the builder finishes, the predicate is added to this predicate container as conjunct.
    
    Returns:
    The case when or builder
  - endAnd
```
T endAnd()
```
    Finishes the AND predicate and adds it to the parent predicate container represented by the type T.
    
    Returns:
    The parent predicate container builder
