Class SqlQueryEngine

java.lang.Object
  org.sqlproc.engine.SqlEngine
      org.sqlproc.engine.SqlQueryEngine

public class SqlQueryEngine
extends SqlEngine

The primary SQL Processor class for the META SQL query execution.

Instance of this class holds one META SQL query and one optional Mapping rule.

For example there's a table PERSON with two columns - ID and NAME.
In the meta statements file statements.qry there's the next definition:

 ALL_PEOPLE(QRY)=
   select ID @id, NAME @name
   from PERSON
   {= where
    {& id=:id}
    {& UPPER(name)=:+name}
   }
   {#1 order by ID}
   {#2 order by NAME}
 ;
 

In the case of SQL Processor initialization

 JdbcEngineFactory sqlFactory = new JdbcEngineFactory();
 sqlFactory.setMetaFilesNames("statements.qry"); // the meta statements file
 SqlQueryEngine sqlEngine = sqlFactory.getQueryEngine("ALL_PEOPLE");
 
 // for the case it runs on the top of the JDBC stack
 Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:mem:sqlproc", "sa", "");
 SqlSession session = new JdbcSimpleSession(connection);
 

there's created an instance of SqlQueryEngine with the name ALL_PEOPLE.

Next the query can be executed with one of the queryXXX methods. For example there's a Java bean class Person with attributes id and name. The invocation

 List<Person> list = sqlEngine.query(session, Person.class, null, SqlQueryEngine.ASC_ORDER);
 

produces the next SQL execution

 select p.ID id, p.NAME name from PERSON p order by ID ASC
 

Next there's an instance person of the class Person with the value Jan for the attribute name. The invocation

 List<Person> list = sqlEngine.query(session, Person.class, person, SqlOrder.getDescOrder(2));
 

produces the next SQL execution

 select p.ID id, p.NAME name from PERSON p where UPPER(name)=? order by NAME DESC

              throws SqlProcessorException,
                     SqlRuntimeException

Runs the META SQL query to obtain a list of database rows. This is the primary and the most complex SQL Processor execution method to obtain a list of result class instances. Criteria to pickup the correct database rows are taken from the input values.

Parameters:

session - The SQL Engine session. It can work as a first level cache and the SQL query execution context. The implementation depends on the stack, on top of which the SQL Processor works. For example it can be an Hibernate session.

resultClass - The class used for the return values, the SQL query execution output. This class is also named as the output class or the transport class, In fact it's a standard POJO class, which must include all the attributes described in the mapping rule statement. This class itself and all its subclasses must have public constructors without any parameters. All the attributes used in the mapping rule statement must be accessible using public getters and setters. The instances of this class are created on the fly in the process of query execution using the reflection API.

dynamicInputValues - The object used for the SQL statement dynamic input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the dynamic parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters settled into the SQL prepared statement are picked up using the reflection API.

staticInputValues - The object used for the SQL statement static input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the static parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters injected into the SQL query command are picked up using the reflection API. Compared to dynamicInputValues input parameters, parameters in this class should't be produced by an end user to prevent SQL injection threat!

order - The ordering directive list. Using the class SqlOrder the ordering rules can be chained. Every ordering rule in this chain should correspond to one META SQL ordering statement.

maxTimeout - The max SQL execution time. This parameter can help to protect production system against ineffective SQL query commands. The value is in milliseconds.

maxResults - The max number of SQL execution output rows, which can be returned in the result list. The primary usage is to support the pagination.

firstResult - The first SQL execution output row to be returned in the case we need to skip some rows in the result set. The primary usage is to support the pagination.

moreResultClasses - More result classes used for the return values, like the collections classes or the collections items. They are used mainly for the one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many associations.

Returns:

The list of the resultClass instances.

Throws:

SqlProcessorException - in the case of any problem with ORM or JDBC stack

SqlRuntimeException - in the case of any problem with the input/output values handling

Compared to dynamicInputValues input parameters, parameters in this class should't be produced by an end user to prevent SQL injection threat!

order - The ordering directive list. Using the class SqlOrder the ordering rules can be chained. Every ordering rule in this chain should correspond to one META SQL ordering statement.

maxTimeout - The max SQL execution time. This parameter can help to protect production system against ineffective SQL query commands. The value is in milliseconds.

Returns:

The size of potential list of resultClass instances.

Throws:

SqlProcessorException - in the case of any problem with ORM or JDBC stack stack

SqlRuntimeException - in the case of any problem with the input/output values handling

queryCount

public int queryCount(SqlSession session,
                      Object dynamicInputValues,
                      SqlControl sqlControl)
               throws SqlProcessorException,
                      SqlRuntimeException

Runs META SQL query to obtain the number of database rows. This is the primary and the most complex SQL Processor execution method to count the rows in database, which match the criteria. These criteria are taken from the input values. The primary usage is to support the pagination.

Parameters:

session - The SQL Engine session. It can work as a first level cache and the SQL query execution context. The implementation depends on the stack, on top of which the SQL Processor works. For example it can be an Hibernate session.

dynamicInputValues - The object used for the SQL statement dynamic input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the dynamic parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters settled into the SQL prepared statement are picked up using the reflection API.

sqlControl - The compound parameters controlling the META SQL execution

Returns:

The size of potential list of resultClass instances.

Throws:

SqlProcessorException - in the case of any problem with ORM or JDBC stack stack

SqlRuntimeException - in the case of any problem with the input/output values handling

getSql

public String getSql(Object dynamicInputValues,
                     Object staticInputValues,
                     SqlOrder order)
              throws SqlProcessorException,
                     SqlRuntimeException

Because the SQL Processor is Data Driven Query engine, every input parameters can produce in fact different SQL query command. This method can help to identify the exact SQL query command, which is generated in the background of the SQL Processor execution. The query is derived from the META SQL query.

Parameters:

dynamicInputValues - The object used for the SQL statement dynamic input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the dynamic parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters settled into the SQL prepared statement are picked up using the reflection API.

staticInputValues - The object used for the SQL statement static input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the static parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters injected into the SQL query command are picked up using the reflection API. Compared to dynamicInputValues input parameters, parameters in this class should't be produced by an end user to prevent SQL injection threat!

order - The ordering directive list. Using the class SqlOrder the ordering rules can be chained. Every ordering rule in this chain should correspond to one META SQL ordering statement.

Returns:

The SQL query command derived from the META SQL query based on the input parameters.

Throws:

SqlProcessorException - in the case of any problem with ORM or JDBC stack

SqlRuntimeException - in the case of any problem with the input/output values handling

getSql

public String getSql(Object dynamicInputValues,
                     SqlControl sqlControl)
              throws SqlProcessorException,
                     SqlRuntimeException

Because the SQL Processor is Data Driven Query engine, every input parameters can produce in fact different SQL query command. This method can help to identify the exact SQL query command, which is generated in the background of the SQL Processor execution. The query is derived from the META SQL query.

Parameters:

dynamicInputValues - The object used for the SQL statement dynamic input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the dynamic parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters settled into the SQL prepared statement are picked up using the reflection API.

sqlControl - The compound parameters controlling the META SQL execution

Returns:

The SQL query command derived from the META SQL query based on the input parameters.

Throws:

SqlProcessorException - in the case of any problem with ORM or JDBC stack

SqlRuntimeException - in the case of any problem with the input/output values handling

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of this META SQL, which uniquely identifies this instance. In the case the META SQL query and mapping rule are located in the meta statements file, this name is the unique part of the keys in this file. For example for the name ALL in the meta statements file there's the META SQL query with the name ALL(QRY) and the mapping rule with the name ALL(OUT).

Returns:

The name of the SQL engine instance.

getMonitor

public SqlMonitor getMonitor()

Returns the SQL Monitor instance for the runtime statistics gathering. By default no runtime statistics gathering is active. So this SQL Monitor is implied in SQL engine constructor in the case the statistics gathering should be engaged.

Returns:

The SQL Monitor instance, which is active for this SQL engine instance.
