Class FunctionFactory

java.lang.Object
com.mckoi.database.FunctionFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
FunctionLookup

public abstract class FunctionFactory extends Object implements FunctionLookup
A factory that generates Function objects given a function name and a set of expression's that represent parameters. A developer may create their own instance of this class and register the factory with the DatabaseSystem. When the SQL grammer comes across a function, it will try and resolve the function name against the registered function factories.

  • Field Details

    • GLOB_LIST

      public static final Expression[] GLOB_LIST
      Represents a function argument * for glob's such as 'count(*)'
  • Constructor Details

    • FunctionFactory

      public FunctionFactory()
      Constructs the FunctionFactory.
  • Method Details

    • addFunction

      protected void addFunction(String fun_name, Class fun_class, int fun_type)
      Adds a new function to this factory. Takes a function name and a class that is the Function implementation. When the 'generateFunction' method is called, it looks up the class with the function name and returns a new instance of the function.

      Parameters:
      fun_name - the name of the function (eg. 'sum', 'concat').
      fun_class - the Function class that we instantiate for this function.
      fun_type - that type of function (either FunctionInfo.STATIC, FunctionInfo.AGGREGATE, FunctionInfo.STATE_BASED).
    • addFunction

      protected void addFunction(String fun_name, Class fun_class)
      Adds a new static function to this factory.
    • removeFunction

      protected void removeFunction(String fun_name)
      Removes a static function from this factory.
    • functionDefined

      protected boolean functionDefined(String fun_name)
      Returns true if the function name is defined in this factory.
    • init

      public abstract void init()
      Initializes this FunctionFactory. This is an abstract method that needs to be implemented. (It doesn't need to do anything if a developer implements their own version of 'generateFunction').
    • generateFunction

      public Function generateFunction(FunctionDef function_def)
      Creates a Function object for the function with the given name with the given arguments. If this factory does not handle a function with the given name then it returns null.
      Specified by:
      generateFunction in interface FunctionLookup
    • isAggregate

      public boolean isAggregate(FunctionDef function_def)
      Returns true if the function defined by FunctionDef is an aggregate function, or false otherwise.
      Specified by:
      isAggregate in interface FunctionLookup
    • getFunctionInfo

      public FunctionInfo getFunctionInfo(String fun_name)
      Returns a FunctionInfo instance of the function with the given name that this FunctionFactory manages. If 'generateFunction' is reimplemented then this method should be rewritten also.
    • getAllFunctionInfo

      public FunctionInfo[] getAllFunctionInfo()
      Returns the list of all function names that this FunctionFactory manages. This is used to compile information about the function factories. If 'generateFunction' is reimplemented then this method should be rewritten also.
