public interface Segment extends Visitable
Supertype of all Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) segments. Segments are typically immutable and mutator methods return new instances instead of changing the called instance.

  • Method Details

    • equals

      boolean equals(Object other)
      Check whether this Segment is equal to another Segment.

      Equality is typically given if the toString() representation matches.

      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      other - the reference object with which to compare.
      Returns:
      true if this object is the same as the other argument; false otherwise.

    • hashCode

      int hashCode()
      Generate a hash code from thisSegment.

      Hashcode typically derives from the toString() representation so two Segments yield the same hashCode() if their toString() representation matches.

      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      a hash code value for this object.

    • toString

      String toString()
      Return a SQL string representation of this Segment.

      The representation is intended for debugging purposes and an approximation to the generated SQL. While it might work in the context of a specific dialect, you should not assume that the toString() representation works across multiple databases.

      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a SQL string representation of this Segment.
