type Statement (v202411)

  • Statement objects capture the WHERE, ORDER BY, and LIMIT clauses of a PQL query, primarily used for retrieving objects of a predefined domain type without needing a SELECT clause.

  • Statements support bind variables as substitutes for literals and also the use of the LIKE keyword for wildcard string matching in queries.

  • Bind variables are represented by a colon followed by a name (e.g., :idValue) and their values are set using objects of type Value such as NumberValue, TextValue, or BooleanValue.

  • The query field holds the PQL query text, defining the WHERE, ORDER BY, and LIMIT clauses with support for various condition types including bind variables and LIKE.

  • The values field stores a list of key-value pairs where the key is the name of the bind variable and the value is its literal representation using a Value object.

Statement

Captures the WHERE, ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses of a PQL query. Statements are typically used to retrieve objects of a predefined domain type, which makes SELECT clause unnecessary.

An example query text might be "WHERE status = 'ACTIVE' ORDER BY id LIMIT 30".

Statements support bind variables. These are substitutes for literals and can be thought of as input parameters to a PQL query.

An example of such a query might be "WHERE id = :idValue".

Statements also support use of the LIKE keyword. This provides wildcard string matching.

An example of such a query might be "WHERE name LIKE '%searchString%'".

The value for the variable idValue must then be set with an object of type Value, e.g., NumberValue, TextValue or BooleanValue.

Field

query

xsd:string

Holds the query in PQL syntax. The syntax is:
[WHERE <condition> {[AND | OR] <condition> ...}]
[ORDER BY <property> [ASC | DESC]]
[LIMIT {[<offset>,] <count>} | {<count> OFFSET <offset>}]

<condition>
     := <property> {< | <= | > | >= | = | != } <value>
<condition>
     := <property> {< | <= | > | >= | = | != } <bind variable>
<condition> := <property> IN <list>
<condition> := <property> IS NULL
<condition> := <property> LIKE <wildcard%match>
<bind variable> := :<name>

values

String_ValueMapEntry[]

Holds keys and values for bind variables and their values. The key is the name of the bind variable. The value is the literal value of the variable.

In the example "WHERE status = :bindStatus ORDER BY id LIMIT 30", the bind variable, represented by :bindStatus is named bindStatus, which would also be the parameter map key. The bind variable's value would be represented by a parameter map value of type TextValue. The final result, for example, would be an entry of "bindStatus" => StringParam("ACTIVE").
