Constructor Detail

FirebirdAdapter

protected FirebirdAdapter(java.sql.DatabaseMetaData metadata)
Constructs a Firebird adapter based on the given JDBC metadata.

Parameters:
metadata - the database metadata.
Method Detail

getVendorID

public java.lang.String getVendorID()
Overrides:
getVendorID in class DatabaseAdapter

getDropTableStatement

public java.lang.String getDropTableStatement(BaseTable table)
Description copied from class: DatabaseAdapter
Returns the appropriate SQL to drop the given table. It should return something like:

 DROP TABLE FOO CASCADE
 

Overrides:
getDropTableStatement in class DatabaseAdapter
Parameters:
table - The table to drop.
Returns:
The text of the SQL statement.

supportsDeferredConstraints

public boolean supportsDeferredConstraints()
Overrides:
supportsDeferredConstraints in class DatabaseAdapter

supportsBooleanComparison

public boolean supportsBooleanComparison()
Overrides:
supportsBooleanComparison in class DatabaseAdapter

supportsNullsInCandidateKeys

public boolean supportsNullsInCandidateKeys()
Overrides:
supportsNullsInCandidateKeys in class DatabaseAdapter

newTableExpression

public TableExpression newTableExpression(QueryStatement qs,
                                          Table table,
                                          SQLIdentifier rangeVar)
Description copied from class: DatabaseAdapter
Returns a new TableExpression object appropriate for this DBMS. This should be an instance of one of the three built-in styles of table expression: TableExprAsSubjoins is the default, which arguably produces the most readable SQL but doesn't work on all DBMS's. TableExprAsSubjoins should work anywhere, but may be less efficient.

Overrides:
newTableExpression in class DatabaseAdapter
Parameters:
qs - The query statement in which the table expression will be included.
table - The main table in the expression.
rangeVar - The SQL alias, or "range variable", to assign to the expression or to the main table.

lengthMethod

public NumericExpression lengthMethod(CharacterExpression str)
Description copied from class: DatabaseAdapter
Returns the appropriate SQL expression for the JDOQL String.length() method. It should return something like:

 CHAR_LENGTH(str)
 

Overrides:
lengthMethod in class DatabaseAdapter
Parameters:
str - The argument to the length() method.
Returns:
The text of the SQL expression.

substringMethod

public CharacterExpression substringMethod(CharacterExpression str,
                                           NumericExpression begin)
Description copied from class: DatabaseAdapter
Returns the appropriate SQL expression for the JDOQL String.substring(str,begin) method. It should return something like:

 SUBSTRING(str FROM begin)
 
Note that the value of begin is base 0 (Java-style), while most SQL string functions use base 1.

Overrides:
substringMethod in class DatabaseAdapter
Parameters:
str - The first argument to the substring() method.
begin - The second argument to the substring() method.
Returns:
The text of the SQL expression.

substringMethod

public CharacterExpression substringMethod(CharacterExpression str,
                                           NumericExpression begin,
                                           NumericExpression end)
Description copied from class: DatabaseAdapter
Returns the appropriate SQL expression for the JDOQL String.substring(str,begin,end) method. It should return something like:

 SUBSTRING(str FROM begin FOR len)
 
Note that the value of begin is base 0 (Java-style), while most SQL string functions use base 1. Note also that an end position is given, while most SQL substring functions take a length.

Overrides:
substringMethod in class DatabaseAdapter
Parameters:
str - The first argument to the substring() method.
begin - The second argument to the substring() method.
end - The third argument to the substring() method.
Returns:
The text of the SQL expression.
