Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
ALIAS	For databases which do not support SOURCE, ANSI SQL defines two allowable approaches.
ORDINAL	For databases which do not support SOURCE, ANSI SQL defines two allowable approaches.
SOURCE	This strategy says to reference the result columns by the qualified column name found in the result source.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static ResultColumnReferenceStrategy	resolveByName(String name)	Resolves the strategy by name, in a case insensitive manner.
static ResultColumnReferenceStrategy	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
static ResultColumnReferenceStrategy[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

SOURCE

public static final ResultColumnReferenceStrategy SOURCE

This strategy says to reference the result columns by the qualified column name found in the result source. This strategy is not strictly allowed by ANSI SQL but is Hibernate's legacy behavior and is also the fastest of the strategies; thus it should be used if supported by the underlying database.

ALIAS

public static final ResultColumnReferenceStrategy ALIAS

For databases which do not support SOURCE, ANSI SQL defines two allowable approaches. One is to reference the result column by the alias it is given in the result source (if it is given an alias). This strategy says to use this approach.

The other QNSI SQL compliant approach is ORDINAL.

ORDINAL

public static final ResultColumnReferenceStrategy ORDINAL

For databases which do not support SOURCE, ANSI SQL defines two allowable approaches. One is to reference the result column by the ordinal position at which it appears in the result source. This strategy says to use this approach.

The other QNSI SQL compliant approach is ALIAS.

Method Details

values

public static ResultColumnReferenceStrategy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ResultColumnReferenceStrategy valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

resolveByName

public static ResultColumnReferenceStrategy resolveByName(String name)

Resolves the strategy by name, in a case insensitive manner. If the name cannot be resolved, SOURCE is returned as the default.

Parameters:

name - The strategy name to resolve

Returns:

The resolved strategy
