Class DeleteClause

      org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.DeleteClause

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class DeleteClause
extends AbstractExpression

This is the delete clause of the delete statement.

A DELETE statement provides bulk operations over sets of entities of a single entity class (together with its subclasses, if any). Only one entity abstract schema type may be specified in the UPDATE clause.

BNF: delete_clause ::= DELETE FROM abstract_schema_name [[AS] identification_variable]

Example: DELETE FROM Employee e

Constructor Detail

DeleteClause

public DeleteClause(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new DeleteClause.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits this Expression by the given visitor.

Parameters:

visitor - The ExpressionVisitor to visit this object

acceptChildren

public void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits the children of this Expression. This method can be used to optimize traversing the children since a new list is not created every time Expression.children() is called.

This does not traverse the Expression sub-hierarchy, use a subclass of AbstractTraverseChildrenVisitor in order to traverse the entire sub-hierarchy.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit the children of this object.

addChildrenTo

protected void addChildrenTo(java.util.Collection<Expression> children)

Adds the children of this AbstractExpression to the given collection.

Overrides:

addChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

children - The collection used to store the children

addOrderedChildrenTo

protected void addOrderedChildrenTo(java.util.List<Expression> children)

Adds the children of this AbstractExpression to the given list.

Overrides:

addOrderedChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

children - The list used to store the string representation of this AbstractExpression

buildCollectionExpression

public CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()

Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single range variable declaration.

Returns:

The single range variable declaration represented by a temporary collection

findQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF findQueryBNF(Expression expression)

Retrieves the JPQLQueryBNF that represents the fragment of this Expression that was used when parsing the given Expression.

Specified by:

findQueryBNF in interface Expression

Overrides:

findQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

expression - The Expression that is a descendant of this one

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF that was used to parse the given expression

getActualDeleteIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualDeleteIdentifier()

Returns the actual DELETE found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:

The DELETE identifier that was actually parsed, or an empty string if it was not parsed

getActualFromIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualFromIdentifier()

Returns the actual FROM identifier found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:

The FROM identifier that was actually parsed, or an empty string if it was not parsed

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

getRangeVariableDeclaration

public Expression getRangeVariableDeclaration()

Returns the Expression representing the range variable declaration.

Returns:

The expression representing the range variable declaration

hasFrom

public boolean hasFrom()

Determines whether the identifier FROM was parsed.

Returns:

true if FROM was parsed; false otherwise

hasRangeVariableDeclaration

public boolean hasRangeVariableDeclaration()

Determines whether the range variable declaration was parsed.

Returns:

true if the range variable declaration was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterDelete

public boolean hasSpaceAfterDelete()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after the identifier DELETE.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after the identifier DELETE; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterFrom

public boolean hasSpaceAfterFrom()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after the identifier FROM.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after the identifier FROM; false otherwise

parse

protected void parse(WordParser wordParser,
                     boolean tolerant)

Parses the query by starting at the current position, which is part of the given WordParser.

Specified by:

parse in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor

tolerant - Determines whether the parsing system should be tolerant, meaning if it should try to parse invalid or incomplete queries

toParsedText

protected void toParsedText(java.lang.StringBuilder writer,
                            boolean actual)

Generates a string representation of this Expression, including its children, if it has any.

Specified by:

toParsedText in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

writer - The buffer used to append this Expression's string representation

actual - Determines whether the string representation should represent what was parsed, i.e. include any "virtual" whitespace (such as ending whitespace) and the actual case of the JPQL identifiers
