A step in the query evaluation that works on ValueExpresions.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static class	QueryValueEvaluationStep.ConstantQueryValueEvaluationStep	A QueryValueEvalationStep that will return the same constant value throughout the query execution.
static final class	QueryValueEvaluationStep.Minimal	A minimal implementation that falls back to calling evaluate in the strategy.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Value	evaluate(BindingSet bindings)
default boolean	isConstant()	If an value expression results in a constant then it may be executed once per query invocation.

Method Details

evaluate

Value evaluate(BindingSet bindings)
        throws QueryEvaluationException

Throws:

QueryEvaluationException

isConstant

default boolean isConstant()

If an value expression results in a constant then it may be executed once per query invocation. This can reduce computation time significantly.

Returns:

if this ValueExpresionStep will always return the same value
