Class FunctionTable

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RootTable, TableDataSource

    public class FunctionTable
    extends DefaultDataTable
    A table that has a number of columns and as many rows as the refering table. Tables of this type are used to construct aggregate and function columns based on an expression. They are joined with the result table in the last part of the query processing.

    For example, a query like 'select id, id * 2, 8 * 9 from Part' the columns 'id * 2' and '8 * 9' would be formed from this table.

    SYNCHRONIZATION ISSUE: Instances of this object are NOT thread safe. The reason it's not is because if 'getCellContents' is used concurrently it's possible for the same value to be added into the cache causing an error. It is not expected that this object will be shared between threads.

    • Method Detail

      • setWholeTableAsGroup

        public void setWholeTableAsGroup()
        Sets the whole reference table as a single group.
      • createGroupMatrix

        public void createGroupMatrix​(Variable[] col_list)
        Creates a grouping matrix for the given tables. The grouping matrix is arranged so that each row of the referring table that is in the group is given a number that refers to the top group entry in the group list. The group list is a linked integer list that chains through each row item in the list.
      • getReferenceTable

        public Table getReferenceTable()
        Returns the Table this function is based on. We need to provide this method for aggregate functions.
      • rowGroup

        public int rowGroup​(int row_index)
        Returns the group of the row at the given index.
      • groupSize

        public int groupSize​(int group_number)
        The size of the group with the given number.
      • groupRows

        public IntegerVector groupRows​(int group_number)
        Returns an IntegerVector that represents the list of all rows in the group the index is at.
      • mergeWithReference

        public Table mergeWithReference​(Variable max_column)
        Returns a Table that is this function table merged with the cross reference table. The result table includes only one row from each group.

        The 'max_column' argument is optional (can be null). If it's set to a column in the reference table, then the row with the max value from the group is used as the group row. For example, 'Part.id' will return the row with the maximum part.id from each group.

      • getCellContents

        public TObject getCellContents​(int column,
                                       int row)
        Returns an object that represents the information in the given cell in the table. This can be used to obtain information about the given table cells.
        Specified by:
        getCellContents in interface TableDataSource
        Specified by:
        getCellContents in class Table
      • lockRoot

        public void lockRoot​(int lock_key)
        Locks the root table(s) of this table so that it is impossible to overwrite the underlying rows that may appear in this table. This is used when cells in the table need to be accessed 'outside' the lock. So we may have late access to cells in the table. 'lock_key' is a given key that will also unlock the root table(s). NOTE: This is nothing to do with the 'LockingMechanism' object.
        Specified by:
        lockRoot in class Table
      • unlockRoot

        public void unlockRoot​(int lock_key)
        Unlocks the root tables so that the underlying rows may once again be used if they are not locked and have been removed. This should be called some time after the rows have been locked.
        Specified by:
        unlockRoot in class Table
      • hasRootsLocked

        public boolean hasRootsLocked()
        Returns true if the table has its row roots locked (via the lockRoot(int) method.
        Specified by:
        hasRootsLocked in class Table
      • resultTable

        public static Table resultTable​(DatabaseQueryContext context,
                                        Expression expression)
        Returns a FunctionTable that has a single Expression evaluated in it. The column name is 'result'.
      • resultTable

        public static Table resultTable​(DatabaseQueryContext context,
                                        TObject ob)
        Returns a FunctionTable that has a single TObject in it. The column title is 'result'.
      • resultTable

        public static Table resultTable​(DatabaseQueryContext context,
                                        java.lang.Object ob)
        Returns a FunctionTable that has a single Object in it. The column title is 'result'.
      • resultTable

        public static Table resultTable​(DatabaseQueryContext context,
                                        int result_val)
        Returns a FunctionTable that has an int value made into a BigDecimal. The column title is 'result'.
