Class Overview

SQL "function" wrapper for a query that returns a single row of results. The default behavior is to return an int, but that can be overridden by using the constructor with an extra return type parameter.

Intended to use to call SQL functions that return a single result using a query like "select user()" or "select sysdate from dual". It is not intended for calling more complex stored functions or for using a CallableStatement to invoke a stored procedure or stored function. Use StoredProcedure or SqlCall for this type of processing.

This is a concrete class, which there is often no need to subclass. Code using this package can create an object of this type, declaring SQL and parameters, and then invoke the appropriate run method repeatedly to execute the function. Subclasses are only supposed to add specialized run methods for specific parameter and return types.

Like all RdbmsOperation objects, SqlFunction objects are thread-safe.

Public Constructors

public SqlFunction ()

Constructor to allow use as a JavaBean. A DataSource, SQL and any parameters must be supplied before invoking the compile method and using this object.

public SqlFunction (DataSource ds, String sql)

Create a new SqlFunction object with SQL, but without parameters. Must add parameters or settle with none.

Parameters
ds DataSource to obtain connections from
sql SQL to execute

public SqlFunction (DataSource ds, String sql, int[] types)

Create a new SqlFunction object with SQL and parameters.

Parameters
ds DataSource to obtain connections from
sql SQL to execute
types SQL types of the parameters, as defined in the java.sql.Types class

public SqlFunction (DataSource ds, String sql, int[] types, Class<T> resultType)

Create a new SqlFunction object with SQL, parameters and a result type.

Parameters
ds DataSource to obtain connections from
sql SQL to execute
types SQL types of the parameters, as defined in the java.sql.Types class
resultType the type that the result object is required to match

Public Methods

public int run (Object... parameters)

Analogous to the SqlQuery.execute([]) method. This is a generic method to execute a query, taken a number of arguments.

Parameters
parameters array of parameters. These will be objects or object wrapper types for primitives.
Returns
  • the value of the function

public int run ()

Convenient method to run the function without arguments.

Returns
  • the value of the function

public int run (int parameter)

Convenient method to run the function with a single int argument.

Parameters
parameter single int parameter
Returns
  • the value of the function

public Object runGeneric (Object[] parameters)

Analogous to the SqlQuery.findObject(Object[]) method. This is a generic method to execute a query, taken a number of arguments.

Parameters
parameters array of parameters. These will be objects or object wrapper types for primitives.
Returns
  • the value of the function, as an Object

public Object runGeneric (int parameter)

Convenient method to run the function with a single int argument.

Parameters
parameter single int parameter
Returns
  • the value of the function as an Object

public Object runGeneric ()

Convenient method to run the function without arguments, returning the value as an object.

Returns
  • the value of the function

public void setResultType (Class<T> resultType)

Specify the type that the result object is required to match.

If not specified, the result value will be exposed as returned by the JDBC driver.

Protected Methods

protected T mapRow (ResultSet rs, int rowNum)

This implementation of this method extracts a single value from the single row returned by the function. If there are a different number of rows returned, this is treated as an error.

Parameters
rs ResultSet we're working through
rowNum row number (from 0) we're up to
Returns
  • an object of the result type
Throws
SQLException
