public interface Term

A CQL3 term, i.e. a column value with or without bind variables. A Term can be either terminal or non terminal. A term object is one that is typed and is obtained from a raw term (Term.Raw) by poviding the actual receiver to which the term is supposed to be a value of.

Nested Class Summary

static class	Term.NonTerminal A non terminal term, i.e.
static interface	Term.Raw A parsed, non prepared (thus untyped) term.
static class	Term.Terminal A terminal term, i.e.

Method Summary

Term.Terminal	bind(java.util.List<java.nio.ByteBuffer> values) Bind the values in this term to the values contained in values.
java.nio.ByteBuffer	bindAndGet(java.util.List<java.nio.ByteBuffer> values) A shorter for bind(values).get().
void	collectMarkerSpecification(ColumnSpecification[] boundNames) Collects the column specification for the bind variables in this Term.

Method Detail

collectMarkerSpecification

void collectMarkerSpecification(ColumnSpecification[] boundNames)

Collects the column specification for the bind variables in this Term. This is obviously a no-op if the term is Terminal.

Parameters:

boundNames - the list of column specification where to collect the bind variables of this term in.

bind

Term.Terminal bind(java.util.List<java.nio.ByteBuffer> values)
                   throws InvalidRequestException

Bind the values in this term to the values contained in values. This is obviously a no-op if the term is Terminal.

Parameters:

values - the values to bind markers to.

Returns:

the result of binding all the variables of this NonTerminal (or 'this' if the term is terminal).

Throws:

InvalidRequestException

bindAndGet

java.nio.ByteBuffer bindAndGet(java.util.List<java.nio.ByteBuffer> values)
                               throws InvalidRequestException

A shorter for bind(values).get(). We expose it mainly because for constants it can avoids allocating a temporary object between the bind and the get (note that we still want to be able to separate bind and get for collections).

Throws:

InvalidRequestException
