Interface Query

All Known Subinterfaces:
OQLQuery

public interface Query

A query object. Obtained from the database and used to construct and execute a query on that database. All query operations are bound to the database transaction. Closing the database or the transaction will effectively close the query.

If the query specified parameters these parameters must be set (bound) before executing the query. Execution of the query will result in an enumeration of all the objects found by the query. The query can be re-executed by binding new parameters and calling the execute() method a second time. A query can be re-execute while objects are still retrieved from a previous execution.

Parameters:
value - The parameter value
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The parameter is not of the expected type, or more parameters were supplied that the query specified

bind

public void bind(short value)
          throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Bind a parameter value to the query. Parameters are set in the order in which they appear in the query and must match in number and type of each parameter.

Parameters:
value - The parameter value

execute

public QueryResults execute()

                            PersistenceException,
                            TransactionNotInProgressException
Execute the query. The query is executed returning an enumeration of all the objects found. If no objects were found, the enumeration will be empty.

After execution the parameter list is reset. New parameters can be bound and the query re-executed.

Returns:
Query results (zero or more objects)
Throws:
QueryException - The query expression cannot be processed, or the query parameters are invalid
TransactionNotInProgressException - Method called while transaction is not in progress
PersistenceException - An error reported by the persistence engine

execute

public QueryResults execute(boolean scrollable)

                            PersistenceException,
                            TransactionNotInProgressException
Experimental This is used for cursor support

Throws:
QueryException
PersistenceException
TransactionNotInProgressException

execute

public QueryResults execute(short accessMode)
                     throws QueryException,
                            PersistenceException,
                            TransactionNotInProgressException
Experimental

Execute the query. The query is executed returning an enumeration of all the objects found. If no objects were found, the enumeration will be empty.

After execution the parameter list is reset. New parameters can be bound and the query re-executed.

Parameters:
accessMode - The access mode
Returns:
Query results (zero or more objects)
Throws:
QueryException - The query expression cannot be processed, or the query parameters are invalid
TransactionNotInProgressException - Method called while transaction is not in progress
PersistenceException - An error reported by the persistence engine

execute

                            boolean scrollable)
                     throws QueryException,
                            PersistenceException,
                            TransactionNotInProgressException
Throws:
QueryException
PersistenceException
TransactionNotInProgressException

close

public void close()
Close the query and release all resources held by the query.
