    Returns:
    
    Either the fully qualified class name used in the constructor expression or null if the query is not a constructor query
  - getQuery
```
public DatabaseQuery getQuery()
```
    Returns the DatabaseQuery for which its JPQL query was scanned to check if it's constructor query and if so, to gather the information.
    
    Returns:
    
    The DatabaseQuery that was scanned
  - isConstructorQuery
```
public boolean isConstructorQuery()
```
    Determines whether the JPQL query is a constructor query, i.e. the select expression is a constructor expression.
    Example: SELECT new test.example.Employee(e.name, e.id) FROM Employee e
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the SELECT clause has a single select item and it's a constructor expression; false otherwise
  - mappings
```
public Iterable<DatabaseMapping> mappings()
```
    Returns a non-null Iterable over the ordered list of DatabaseMapping objects that represents the parameter arguments defined in the constructor expression.
    
    Returns:
    
    The list contains the persistent fields that were passed to the constructor
