Method Detail

isAscending

boolean isAscending()

Indicate whether this column is ascending or not. By default assume that all ordered columns are necessarily ascending. If this class is inherited by someone that can be desceneded, they are expected to override this method.

Returns:

true

isNullsOrderedLow

boolean isNullsOrderedLow()

Indicate whether this column should be ordered NULLS low. By default we assume that all ordered columns are ordered with NULLS higher than non-null values. If this class is inherited by someone that can be specified to have NULLs ordered lower than non-null values, they are expected to override this method.

Returns:

false

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Convert this object to a String. See comments in QueryTreeNode.java for how this should be done for tree printing.

Overrides:

toString in class QueryTreeNode

Returns:

This object as a String

getColumnPosition

int getColumnPosition()

Get the position of this column

Returns:

The position of this column

setColumnPosition

void setColumnPosition(int columnPosition)

Set the position of this column
