Method Detail

set

X set(String attribute,
      Object value)

Binds the given value as parameter to the attribute.

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute for which the value should be bound

value - The value that should be bound

Returns:

The query builder for chaining calls

setNull

X setNull(String attribute)

Binds NULL to the attribute.

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute for which NULL should be bound

Returns:

The query builder for chaining calls

Since:

1.5.0

setExpression

X setExpression(String attribute,
                String expression)

Binds the given expression to the attribute.

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute for which the expression should be bound

expression - The expression that should be bound

Returns:

The query builder for chaining calls

set

SubqueryInitiator<X> set(String attribute)

Starts a subquery builder for creating an expression that should be bound to the attribute.

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute for which the subquery expression should be bound

Returns:

The query builder for chaining calls

set

SubqueryBuilder<X> set(String attribute,
                       FullQueryBuilder<?,?> criteriaBuilder)

Starts a subquery builder for creating an expression that should be bound to the attribute based on the given criteria builder.

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute for which the subquery expression should be bound

criteriaBuilder - The criteria builder to base the subquery on

Returns:

The subquery builder for building a subquery

Since:

1.2.0

setSubqueries

MultipleSubqueryInitiator<X> setSubqueries(String attribute,
                                           String expression)

Starts a MultipleSubqueryInitiator with the given expression that should bound to the attribute.

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

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute for which the expression should be bound

expression - The expression for the lower bound of the between predicate.

Returns:

The subquery initiator for building multiple subqueries for their respective subqueryAliases
