Method Detail

getSelects

Select[] getSelects()

Return the selects that make up this union.

getOrdering

java.lang.String getOrdering()

Get the union-level ordering, if any.

isSingleResult

boolean isSingleResult()

Whether this union will return at most a single result. Setting this flag makes it more efficient to execute logical unions that are actually made up from multiple selects executed in batch.

setSingleResult

void setSingleResult(boolean single)

Whether this union will return at most a single result. Setting this flag makes it more efficient to execute logical unions that are actually made up from multiple selects executed in batch.

isUnion

boolean isUnion()

Whether this is a true UNION, rather than a logical combination of independent selects.

abortUnion

void abortUnion()

Force the use of a series of standard selects rather than a true UNION.

select

void select(Union.Selector selector)

Select data using the given selector.
