symbols - The ordered list of ElementSymbols

Method Detail

getCount

public int getCount()

Returns the number of symbols in the GROUP BY

Returns:

Count of the number of symbols in GROUP BY

getSymbols

public java.util.List<Expression> getSymbols()

Returns an ordered list of the symbols in the GROUP BY

Returns:

List of ElementSymbols

addSymbol

public void addSymbol(Expression symbol)

Adds a new symbol to the list of symbols.

Parameters:

symbol - Symbol to add to GROUP BY

acceptVisitor

public void acceptVisitor(LanguageVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: LanguageObject

Method for accepting a visitor. It is the responsibility of the language object to call back on the visitor.

Specified by:

acceptVisitor in interface LanguageObject

Parameters:

visitor - Visitor being used

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Return a deep copy of this object

Specified by:

clone in interface LanguageObject

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

Deep copy of object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Compare two GroupBys for equality. Order is important in the comparison.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - Other object

Returns:

True if equal

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Get hashcode for GroupBy. WARNING: The hash code relies on the variables in the group by, so changing the variables will change the hash code, causing a group by to be lost in a hash structure. Do not hash a GroupBy if you plan to change it.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

Hash code for object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
