QueryValueEvaluationStep.ConstantQueryValueEvaluationStep (Eclipse RDF4J 4.2.4)

java.lang.Object
- org.eclipse.rdf4j.query.algebra.evaluation.QueryValueEvaluationStep.ConstantQueryValueEvaluationStep

All Implemented Interfaces:

QueryValueEvaluationStep

Enclosing interface:

QueryValueEvaluationStep
```
public static class QueryValueEvaluationStep.ConstantQueryValueEvaluationStep
extends Object
implements QueryValueEvaluationStep
```
A QueryValueEvalationStep that will return the same constant value throughout the query execution. As these rather result just in a value we set the value at precompile time.

    Description copied from interface: QueryValueEvaluationStep
    
    If an value expression results in a constant then it may be executed once per query invocation. This can reduce computation time significantly.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isConstant in interface QueryValueEvaluationStep
    
    Returns:
    
    if this ValueExpresionStep will always return the same value
