type Statement (v202505)

  • Statement captures PQL query clauses such as WHERE, ORDER BY, and LIMIT to retrieve objects without needing a SELECT clause.

  • Statements support bind variables as substitutes for literals, acting as input parameters for a PQL query, and also support the LIKE keyword for wildcard string matching.

  • Bind variables require their values to be set using objects like NumberValue, TextValue, or BooleanValue.

  • The query field holds the PQL query string with supported syntax for conditions, ordering, and limiting results.

  • The values field contains a list of entries where the key is the name of a bind variable and the value is its literal value, represented by 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").
