AbstractSetCriteria (Teiid 15.0.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.teiid.query.sql.lang.Criteria
- - org.teiid.query.sql.lang.PredicateCriteria
  - - org.teiid.query.sql.lang.AbstractSetCriteria

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, PredicateCriteria.Negatable, LanguageObject, Expression

Direct Known Subclasses:

DependentSetCriteria, SetCriteria, SubquerySetCriteria
```
public abstract class AbstractSetCriteria
extends PredicateCriteria
implements PredicateCriteria.Negatable
```
This is an abstract class to define some common functionality in the two varieties of IN criteria: SetCriteria (where values are specified) and SubquerySetCriteria (where a subquery is defined and will supply the values for the IN set).
