All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class DeleteClause
extends AbstractExpression

This is the delete clause of the delete statement.

A DELETE statement provides bulk operations over sets of entities of a single entity class (together with its subclasses, if any). Only one entity abstract schema type may be specified in the UPDATE clause.

BNF: delete_clause ::= DELETE FROM abstract_schema_name [[AS] identification_variable]

Example: DELETE FROM Employee e

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits this Expression by the given visitor.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit this object

acceptChildren

public void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits the children of this Expression. This method can be used to optimize traversing the children since a new list is not created every time Expression.children() or Expression.getChildren() is called.

This does not traverse the Expression sub-hierarchy, use an subclass of AbstractTraverseChildrenVisitor in order to traverse the entire sub-hierarchy.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit the children of this object.

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Specified by:

getQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

getRangeVariableDeclaration

public Expression getRangeVariableDeclaration()

Returns the Expression representing the range variable declaration.

Returns:

The expression representing the range variable declaration

hasFrom

public boolean hasFrom()

Determines whether the identifier FROM was parsed.

Returns:

true if FROM was parsed; false otherwise

hasRangeVariableDeclaration

public boolean hasRangeVariableDeclaration()

Determines whether the range variable declaration was parsed.

Returns:

true if the range variable declaration was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterDelete

public boolean hasSpaceAfterDelete()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after the identifier DELETE.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after the identifier DELETE; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterFrom

public boolean hasSpaceAfterFrom()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after the identifier FROM.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after the identifier FROM; false otherwise
