public interface StarPredicate

Condition which constrains a set of values of a single RolapStar.Column or a set of columns.

For example, the predicate Range([Time].[1997].[Q3], [Time].[1998].[Q2]) constrains the year and quarter columns:

((year = 1997 and quarter >= 'Q3')
or (year > 1997))
and ((year = 1998 and quarter <= 'Q2')
or (year < 1998))

Field Detail

WILDCARD

static final Object WILDCARD

Wildcard value for evaluate(java.util.List).

Method Detail

getConstrainedColumnList

List<RolapStar.Column> getConstrainedColumnList()

Returns a list of constrained columns.

Returns:

List of constrained columns

getConstrainedColumnBitKey

BitKey getConstrainedColumnBitKey()

Returns a bitmap of constrained columns to speed up comparison

Returns:

bitmap representing all constraining columns.

describe

void describe(StringBuilder buf)

Appends a description of this predicate to a StringBuilder. For example:

• =any
• =5
• in (2, 4, 6)

Parameters:

buf - Builder to append to

evaluate

boolean evaluate(List<Object> valueList)

Evaluates a constraint against a list of values.

If one of the values is WILDCARD, returns true if constraint is true for all possible values of that column.

Parameters:

valueList - List of values, one for each constrained column

Returns:

Whether constraint holds for given set of values

equalConstraint

boolean equalConstraint(StarPredicate that)

Returns whether this Predicate has the same constraining effect as the other constraint. This is weaker than Object.equals(Object): it is possible for two different members to constrain the same column in the same way.

Parameters:

that - Other predicate

Returns:

whether the other predicate is equivalent

minus

StarPredicate minus(StarPredicate predicate)

Returns the logical inverse of this Predicate. The result is a Predicate which holds whenever this predicate holds but the other does not.

Pre-condition:

predicate != null

Parameters:

predicate - Predicate

Returns:

Combined predicate

or

StarPredicate or(StarPredicate predicate)

Returns this union of this Predicate with another. The result is a Predicate which holds whenever either predicate holds.

Pre-condition:

predicate != null

Parameters:

predicate - Predicate

Returns:

Combined predicate

and

StarPredicate and(StarPredicate predicate)

Returns this intersection of this Predicate with another. The result is a Predicate which holds whenever both predicates hold.

Pre-condition:

predicate != null

Parameters:

predicate - Predicate

Returns:

Combined predicate

toSql

void toSql(SqlQuery sqlQuery,
         StringBuilder buf)
