Method Detail

convertToSQL92

public static String convertToSQL92(char escape,
                                    char multi,
                                    char single,
                                    boolean matchCase,
                                    String pattern)
                             throws IllegalArgumentException

Given OGC PropertyIsLike Filter information, construct an SQL-compatible 'like' pattern. SQL % --> match any number of characters _ --> match a single character NOTE; the SQL command is 'string LIKE pattern [ESCAPE escape-character]' We could re-define the escape character, but I'm not doing to do that in this code since some databases will not handle this case. Method: 1. Examples: ( escape ='!', multi='*', single='.' ) broadway* -> 'broadway%' broad_ay -> 'broad_ay' broadway -> 'broadway' broadway!* -> 'broadway*' (* has no significance and is escaped) can't -> 'can''t' ( ' escaped for SQL compliance) NOTE: we also handle "'" characters as special because they are end-of-string characters. SQL will convert ' to '' (double single quote). NOTE: we dont handle "'" as a 'special' character because it would be too confusing to have a special char as another special char. Using this will throw an error (IllegalArgumentException).

Parameters:

escape -

multi -

single -

pattern -

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

getMatchAction

public MultiValuedFilter.MatchAction getMatchAction()

Description copied from interface: MultiValuedFilter

Flag Controlling MatchAction property When one or more of the operands evaluates to multiple values rather than a single value, which action should be taken? If there are n values for the left operand and m values for the right operand, there are n * m possible combinations that can be compared, ANY - if any of the possible combinations match, the result is true (aggregated OR) ALL - only if all of the possible combinations match, the result is true (aggregated AND) ONE - only if exactly one of the possible combinations match, the result is true (aggregated XOR)
