Class SQLDialect

Object
SQLDialect
Direct Known Subclasses:
BasicSQLDialect, DB2SQLDialect, H2Dialect, MySQLDialect, PreparedStatementSQLDialect, SingleStoreDialect
public abstract class SQLDialect extends Object
The driver used by JDBCDataStore to directly communicate with the database.

This class encapsulates all the database specific operations that JDBCDataStore needs to function. It is implemented on a per-database basis.

Type Mapping

One of the jobs of a dialect is to map sql types to java types and vice versa. This abstract implementation provides default mappings for "primitive" java types. The following mappings are provided. A '*' denotes that the mapping is the default java to sql mapping as well.
  • VARCHAR -> String *
  • CHAR -> String
  • LONGVARCHAR -> String
  • BIT -> Boolean
  • BOOLEAN -> Boolean *
  • SMALLINT -> Short *
  • TINYINT -> Short
  • INTEGER -> Integer *
  • BIGINT -> Long *
  • REAL -> Float *
  • DOUBLE -> Double *
  • FLOAT -> Double
  • NUMERIC -> BigDecimal *
  • DECIMAL -> BigDecimal
  • DATE -> java.sql.Date *
  • TIME -> java.sql.Time *
  • TIMESTAMP -> java.sql.Timestmap *
Subclasses should extend (not override) the following methods to configure the mappings:

This class is intended to be stateless, therefore subclasses should not maintain any internal state. If for some reason a subclass must keep some state around (not recommended), it must ensure that the state is accessed in a thread safe manner.

  • Method Details

    • initializeConnection

      public void initializeConnection(Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Initializes a newly created database connection.

      Subclasses should override this method if there is some additional action that needs to be taken when a new connection to the database is created. The default implementation does nothing.

      Parameters:
      cx - The new database connection.
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • includeTable

      public boolean includeTable(String schemaName, String tableName, Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Determines if the specified table should be included in those published by the datastore.

      This method returns true if the table should be published as a feature type, otherwise it returns false. Subclasses should override this method, this default implementation returns true.

      A database connection is provided to the dialect but it should not be closed. However any statements objects or result sets that are instantiated from it must be closed.

      Parameters:
      schemaName - The schema of the table, might be null..
      tableName - The name of the table.
      cx - Database connection.
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • registerSqlTypeNameToClassMappings

      public void registerSqlTypeNameToClassMappings(Map<String,Class<?>> mappings)
      Registers the sql type name to java type mappings that the dialect uses when reading and writing objects to and from the database.

      Subclasses should extend (not override) this method to provide additional mappings, or to override mappings provided by this implementation. This implementation provides the following mappings:

    • getMapping

      public Class<?> getMapping(ResultSet columnMetaData, Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Determines the class mapping for a particular column of a table.

      Implementing this method is optional. It is used to allow database to perform custom type mappings based on various column metadata. It is called before the mappings registered in registerSqlTypeToClassMappings(Map) and are used to determine the mapping. Subclasses should implement as needed, this default implementation returns <code>null</code>. </p> <p> The <tt>columnMetaData</tt> argument is provided from {@link DatabaseMetaData#getColumns(String, String, String, String)}. </p>

      Parameters:
      columnMetaData - The column metadata
      cx - The connection used to retrieve the metadata
      Returns:
      The class mapped to the to column, or null.
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • getRestrictions

      public Filter getRestrictions(ResultSet columnMetaData, Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Allows the dialect to setup restrictions for attribute at hand
      Parameters:
      columnMetaData - The column metadata
      cx - The connection used to retrieve the metadata
      Returns:
      The restriction, or null if no restriction applies
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • handleUserDefinedType

      public void handleUserDefinedType(ResultSet columnMetaData, ColumnMetadata metadata, Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Handles the mapping for a user defined type.

      This method is called after getMapping(ResultSet, Connection) but before the rest of the type mapping heuristics are applied.

      Implementing this method is optional. It is used to allow for handling user defined types or "DOMAINS". Dialects that implement this method should set the appropriate information on the metadata object to allow the column to be mapped via the regular type mapping heuristics.

      Parameters:
      columnMetaData - The column metdata.
      metadata - The column metadata object that collections mapping information.
      cx - The database connection, not to be closed.
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • registerSqlTypeToClassMappings

      public void registerSqlTypeToClassMappings(Map<Integer,Class<?>> mappings)
      Registers the sql type to java type mappings that the dialect uses when reading and writing objects to and from the database.

      Subclasses should extend (not override) this method to provide additional mappings, or to override mappings provided by this implementation. This implementation provides the following mappings:

    • registerClassToSqlMappings

      public void registerClassToSqlMappings(Map<Class<?>,Integer> mappings)
      Registers the java type to sql type mappings that the datastore uses when reading and writing objects to and from the database. *

      Subclasses should extend (not override) this method to provide additional mappings, or to override mappings provided by this implementation. This implementation provides the following mappings:

    • registerSqlTypeToSqlTypeNameOverrides

      public void registerSqlTypeToSqlTypeNameOverrides(Map<Integer,String> overrides)
      Registers any overrides that should occur when mapping an integer sql type value to an underlying sql type name.

      The default implementation of this method does nothing. Subclasses should override in cases where:

      • database type metadata does not provide enough information to properly map
      • to support custom types (those not in Types)

    • registerAggregateFunctions

      public void registerAggregateFunctions(Map<Class<? extends FeatureVisitor>,String> aggregates)
      Registers the set of aggregate functions the dialect is capable of handling.

      Aggregate functions are handled via visitors of special types. The aggregates maps the class of the visitor to the associated function name. This base implementation handles some of the well known mappings:

      Subclasses should extend (not override) to provide additional functions.

    • getNameEscape

      public String getNameEscape()
      Returns the string used to escape names.

      This value is used to escape any name in a query. This includes columns, tables, schemas, indexes, etc... If no escape is necessary this method should return the empty string, and never return null.

      This default implementation returns a single double quote ("), subclasses must override to provide a different espcape.

    • ne

      protected final String ne()
      Quick accessor for getNameEscape().

    • escapeName

      public String escapeName(String name)
      Surrounds a name with the SQL escape string.

      If the name contains the SQL escape string, the SQL escape string is duplicated.

    • encodeColumnName

      public void encodeColumnName(String prefix, String raw, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the name of a column in an SQL statement.

      This method escapes raw using method escapeName(String). Subclasses usually don't override this method and instead override getNameEscape().

      The prefix parameter may be null so subclasses that do override must handle that case.

    • encodeColumnType

      public void encodeColumnType(String sqlTypeName, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the type of a column in an SQL CREATE TABLE statement.

      The default implementation simply outputs the sqlTypeName argument as is. Subclasses may override this method. Such cases might include:

      • A type definition requires some parameter, ex: size of a varchar
      • The provided attribute (att) contains some additional restrictions that can be encoded in the type, ex: field length

    • encodeColumnAlias

      public void encodeColumnAlias(String raw, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the alias of a column in an sql query.

      This default implementation uses the syntax: 

      as "alias"
      . Subclasses should override to provide a different syntax.

    • encodeTableAlias

      public void encodeTableAlias(String raw, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the alias of a table in an sql query.

      This default implementation uses the syntax: 

      as "alias"
      . Subclasses should override to provide a different syntax.

    • encodeTableName

      public void encodeTableName(String raw, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the name of a table in an SQL statement.

      This method escapes raw using method escapeName(String). Subclasses usually dont override this method and instead override getNameEscape().

    • encodeSchemaName

      public void encodeSchemaName(String raw, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the name of a schema in an SQL statement.

      This method escapes raw using method escapeName(String). Subclasses usually dont override this method and instead override getNameEscape().

    • getGeometryTypeName

      public String getGeometryTypeName(Integer type)
      Returns the name of a geometric type based on its integer constant.

      The constant, type, is registered in registerSqlTypeNameToClassMappings(Map).

      This default implementation returns null, subclasses should override.

    • getGeometrySRID

      public Integer getGeometrySRID(String schemaName, String tableName, String columnName, Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Returns the spatial reference system identifier (srid) for a particular geometry column.

      This method is given a direct connection to the database. The connection must not be closed. However any statements or result sets instantiated from the connection must be closed.

      In the event that the srid cannot be determined, this method should return null .

      Parameters:
      schemaName - The database schema, could be null.
      tableName - The table, never null.
      columnName - The column name, never null
      cx - The database connection.
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • getGeometryDimension

      public int getGeometryDimension(String schemaName, String tableName, String columnName, Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Returns the dimension of the coordinates in the geometry. Defaults to 2, subclasses can override it.

      This method is given a direct connection to the database. The connection must not be closed. However any statements or result sets instantiated from the connection must be closed.

      In the event that the dimension cannot be determined, this method should return 2

      Parameters:
      schemaName - The database schema, could be null.
      tableName - The table, never null.
      columnName - The column name, never null
      cx - The database connection.
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • createCRS

      public CoordinateReferenceSystem createCRS(int srid, Connection cx) throws SQLException
      Turns the specified srid into a CoordinateReferenceSystem, or returns null if not possible.

      Note this implementation takes account of forceLongitudeFirst which should be set when longitude first (XY) axis ordering is required.

      The implementation might just use CRS.decode("EPSG:" + srid), but most spatial databases will have their own SRS database that can be queried as well.

      As a rule of thumb you should override this method if your spatial database uses codes that are not part of the EPSG standard database, of if for some reason you deem it preferable to use your database definition instead of an official EPSG one.

      Most overrides will try out to decode the official EPSG code first, and fall back on the custom database definition otherwise

      Throws:
      SQLException

    • getOptimizedBounds

      public List<ReferencedEnvelope> getOptimizedBounds(String schema, SimpleFeatureType featureType, Connection cx) throws SQLException, IOException
      Returns the bounds of all geometry columns in the layer using any approach that proves to be faster than the plain bounds aggregation (e.g., better than the "plain select extent(geom) from table" on PostGIS), or null if none exists or the fast method has not been enabled (e.g., if the fast method is just an estimate of the bounds you probably want the user to enable it manually)
      Parameters:
      schema - The database schema, if any, or null
      featureType - The feature type containing the geometry columns whose bounds need to computed. Mind, it may be retyped and thus contain less geometry columns than the table
      Returns:
      a list of referenced envelopes (some of which may be null or empty)
      Throws:
      SQLException
      IOException

    • encodeGeometryEnvelope

      public abstract void encodeGeometryEnvelope(String tableName, String geometryColumn, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the spatial extent function of a geometry column in a SELECT statement.

      This method must also be sure to properly encode the name of the column with the #encodeColumnName(String, StringBuffer) function.

    • decodeGeometryEnvelope

      public abstract Envelope decodeGeometryEnvelope(ResultSet rs, int column, Connection cx) throws SQLException, IOException
      Decodes the result of a spatial extent function in a SELECT statement.

      This method is given direct access to a result set. The column parameter is the index into the result set which contains the spatial extent value. The query for this value is build with the encodeGeometryEnvelope(String, String, StringBuffer) method.

      This method must not read any other objects from the result set other then the one referenced by column.

      Parameters:
      rs - A result set
      column - Index into the result set which points at the spatial extent value.
      cx - The database connection.
      Throws:
      SQLException
      IOException

    • encodeGeometryColumn

      public void encodeGeometryColumn(GeometryDescriptor gatt, String prefix, int srid, Hints hints, StringBuffer sql)
      Encodes the name of a geometry column in a SELECT statement.

      This method should wrap the column name in any functions that are used to retrieve its value. For instance, often it is necessary to use the function asText, or asWKB when fetching a geometry.

      This method must also be sure to properly encode the name of the column with the encodeColumnName(String, String, StringBuffer) function.

      Example: 

         
   sql.append( "asText(" );
   column( gatt.getLocalName(), sql );
   sql.append( ")" );

    • encodeGeometryColumnGeneralized

      public void encodeGeometryColumnGeneralized(GeometryDescriptor gatt, String prefix, int srid, StringBuffer sql, Double distance)

    • encodeGeometryColumnSimplified

      public void encodeGeometryColumnSimplified(GeometryDescriptor gatt, String prefix, int srid, StringBuffer sql, Double distance)

    • decodeGeometryValue

      public abstract Geometry decodeGeometryValue(GeometryDescriptor descriptor, ResultSet rs, String column, GeometryFactory factory, Connection cx, Hints hints) throws IOException, SQLException
      Decodes a geometry value from the result of a query.

      This method is given direct access to a result set. The column parameter is the index into the result set which contains the geometric value.

      An implementation should deserialize the value provided by the result set into Geometry object. For example, consider an implementation which deserializes from well known text: 

         String wkt = rs.getString( column );
   if ( wkt == null ) {
     return null;
   }
   return new WKTReader(factory).read( wkt );
      Note that implementations must handle null values.

      The factory parameter should be used to instantiate any geometry objects.

      Throws:
      IOException
      SQLException

    • decodeGeometryValue

      public Geometry decodeGeometryValue(GeometryDescriptor descriptor, ResultSet rs, int column, GeometryFactory factory, Connection cx, Hints hints) throws IOException, SQLException
      Decodes a geometry value from the result of a query specifying the column as an index.

      IOException
      SQLException

    • encodePrimaryKey

      public void encodePrimaryKey(String column, StringBuffer sql)

    • lookupGeneratedValuesPostInsert

      public boolean lookupGeneratedValuesPostInsert()
      Controls whether keys are looked up post or pre insert.

      When a row is inserted into a table, and a key is automatically generated it can be looked up before the insert occurs, or after the insert has been made. Returning false will cause the lookup to occur before the insert via getNextAutoGeneratedValue(String, String, String, Connection).

      true if read queries should remain autocommit, false otherwise

    • supportsSchemaForIndex

      protected boolean supportsSchemaForIndex()
      Return true if the database supports individual schemas for indices.

      The SQL encoding would be CREATE INDEX SCHEMANAME.INDEXNAME ON ....

      Throws:
      SQLException

    • dropIndex

      public void dropIndex(Connection cx, SimpleFeatureType schema, String databaseSchema, String indexName) throws SQLException

      SQLException

    • getIndexes

      public List<Index> getIndexes(Connection cx, String databaseSchema, String typeName) throws SQLException
      Returns the list of indexes for a certain table. Subclasses can override to add support for db specific hints
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • handleSelectHints

      public void handleSelectHints(StringBuffer sql, SimpleFeatureType featureType, Query query)
      Used to apply search hints on the fully generated SQL (complete of select, from, where, sort, limit/offset)

    • applyHintsOnVirtualTables

      public boolean applyHintsOnVirtualTables()
      Controls whether select hints should be added to queries on virtual tables.
      Returns:
      True if select hints hould be added to queries on virtual tables, false otherwise.

    • getDesiredTablesType

      public String[] getDesiredTablesType()
      Returns:
      Table types filtered from jdbc DatabaseMetaData

    • splitFilter

      public Filter[] splitFilter(Filter filter, SimpleFeatureType schema)
      Splits the filter into two parts, an encodable one, and a non encodable one. The default implementation uses the filter capabilities to split the filter, subclasses can implement their own logic if need be.

    • getPrimaryKey

      protected PrimaryKey getPrimaryKey(String typeName) throws IOException
      Throws:
      IOException

    • getPkColumnValue

      public String getPkColumnValue(ResultSet rs, PrimaryKeyColumn pkey, int columnIdx) throws SQLException
      Reads a primary key column value. By default uses ResultSet.getString(int), subclasses can use a more efficient way should they wish to
      Throws:
      SQLException

    • canSimplifyPoints

      public boolean canSimplifyPoints()
      Returns if points can be returned in simplified form (e.g reduced precision, like TWKB encoding)

    • getResultTypes

      protected Optional<List<Class>> getResultTypes(FeatureVisitor visitor, SimpleFeatureType featureType)
      Returns the list of aggregation output types for the given visitor and feature type (or an empty Optional if could not determine it)

    • getAggregateConverter

      public Function<Object,Object> getAggregateConverter(FeatureVisitor visitor, SimpleFeatureType featureType)
      Returns a converter used to transform the results of an aggregation, for the given visitor and feature type. The default implementation returns an identify function, databases with type system limitations can use it to convert the result to the desired type. Implementations overriding this method might use getResultTypes(FeatureVisitor, SimpleFeatureType) to compute the expected result type of the aggregation expressions.
      Parameters:
      visitor -
      featureType -
      Returns:

    • getSQLType

      A SQL type from Types, or null if customization is needed

    • isArray

      public boolean isArray(AttributeDescriptor att)
      Returns true if the attribute in question is an array. By default comparers the JDBCDataStore.JDBC_NATIVE_TYPE stored in the attribute user data with Types.ARRAY, but subclasses can override to use a different approach.

    • convertValue

      public Object convertValue(Object value, AttributeDescriptor ad)
      Convertes the given value to the target type. The default implementation uses converters to match the attribute descriptor binding, subclasses can override.
