Method Detail

unparsed

public static RawSqlBuilder unparsed(String sql)

Return an unparsed DRaw. Unlike a parsed one this query can not be modified - so no additional WHERE or HAVING expressions can be added to this query.

parse

public static RawSqlBuilder parse(String sql)

Return a DRaw parsing the sql.

The sql statement will be parsed so that Ebean can determine where it can insert additional WHERE or HAVING expressions.

Additionally the selected columns are parsed to determine the column ordering. This also means additional checks can be made with the column mapping - specifically we can check that all columns are mapped and that correct column names are entered into the mapping.

columnMapping

public RawSqlBuilder columnMapping(String dbColumn,
                                   String propertyName)

Set the mapping of a DB Column to a bean property.

For Unparsed SQL the columnMapping MUST be defined in the same order that the columns appear in the SQL statement.

Parameters:

dbColumn - the DB column that we are mapping to a bean property

propertyName - the bean property that we are mapping the DB column to.

columnMappingIgnore

public RawSqlBuilder columnMappingIgnore(String dbColumn)

Ignore this DB column. It is not mapped to any bean property.

create

public RawSql create()

Create the immutable RawSql object. Do this after all the column mapping has been defined.
