All -
I'm trying to solve a lil' problem here. The semi-short story is that
prior to doing a fetch, I'm going to do a raw SQL fetch to determine
how many rows would be returned - i.e., I'll do a "select count(*)"
based on the search parameters. If the count is greater than a
predetermined fetch limit, then I respond w/ a message to further
restrict the query.
To do this, I build my qualifiers as usual create a fetch spec based on
the qualifiers and then pass them into a JDBCExpression. The code
looks like this:
EOFetchSpecification fetchSpec = new EOFetchSpecification
(entityName, searchQualifier, null);
JDBCExpression sqlExpression = new JDBCExpression(entity);
sqlExpression.prepareSelectExpressionWithAttributes
(entity.attributes(), false, fetchSpec);
String rawSQLQuery = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM " +
entity.externalName() + " WHERE " + sqlExpression.whereClauseString();
if (!sqlExpression.joinClauseString().equals("")) {
rawSQLQuery = rawSQLQuery + " AND " +
sqlExpression.joinClauseString();
}
Unfortunately, the where clause being generated by .whereClauseString ()
is parameterized, e.g.,
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PLAYLIST t0, CONTENT_PROVIDER T1 WHERE
(((t0.FIRST_PRODUCTION_RELEASE is not ? AND t0.LAST_PRODUCTION_RELEASE
is ?) AND T1.CONTENT_PROVIDER_ID = ?) AND UPPER(t0.NAME) LIKE UPPER(?)
ESCAPE '\')
What I can't seem to figure is how to get the string returned w/ the
parameters replaced w/ the actual bound values.
So, first, am I heading down the right path or is there a better way?
If I am headed in the right direction, what am I missing?
You can use EOSQLExpression and bindVariables to substitute the keys and
values. Something along the lines of the follwoing:
Note: there are numerous problems with this code as it stands,
. BigDecimal formatting might not be right anymore Java 5 changes need
to call method other than toString(), should be toPlainString()? I think.
. Date formatting, Oracle specific?
EOSQLExpression expression...///// assume it exists.
