Class LowerFunction

java.lang.Object
adql.query.operand.function.ADQLFunction
adql.query.operand.function.string.LowerFunction
All Implemented Interfaces:
ADQLObject, ADQLOperand

public class LowerFunction extends ADQLFunction
It represents the LOWER function of ADQL.

This function converts its string parameter to lower case.

Since case folding is a nontrivial operation in a multi-encoding world, ADQL requires standard behaviour for the ASCII characters, and recommends following algorithm R2 described in Section 3.13, "Default Case Algorithms" of The Unicode Consortium (2012) for characters outside the ASCII set.

Example:

LOWER('Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel')

which should return:

francis albert augustus charles emmanuel
Since:
2.0

    • getFeatureDescription

      public final LanguageFeature getFeatureDescription()
      Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
      Get the description of this ADQL's Language Feature.

      Note: Getting this description is generally only useful when discovery optional features so that determining if they are allowed to be used in ADQL queries.

      Returns:
      Description of this ADQL object as an ADQL's feature.
    • isNumeric

      public final boolean isNumeric()
      Description copied from interface: ADQLOperand
      Tell whether this operand is numeric or not.
      Returns:
      true if this operand is numeric, false otherwise.
    • isString

      public final boolean isString()
      Description copied from interface: ADQLOperand
      Tell whether this operand is a string or not.
      Returns:
      true if this operand is a string, false otherwise.
    • isGeometry

      public final boolean isGeometry()
      Description copied from interface: ADQLOperand
      Tell whether this operand is a geometrical region or not.
      Returns:
      true if this operand is a geometry, false otherwise.
    • getName

      public final String getName()
      Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
      Gets the name of this object in ADQL.
      Returns:
      The name of this ADQL object.
    • getCopy

      public ADQLObject getCopy() throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
      Gets a (deep) copy of this ADQL object.
      Returns:
      The copy of this ADQL object.
      Throws:
      Exception - If there is any error during the copy.
    • getNbParameters

      public int getNbParameters()
      Description copied from class: ADQLFunction
      Gets the number of parameters this function has.
      Specified by:
      getNbParameters in class ADQLFunction
      Returns:
      Number of parameters.
    • getParameters

      public final ADQLOperand[] getParameters()
      Description copied from class: ADQLFunction
      Gets the list of all parameters of this function.
      Specified by:
      getParameters in class ADQLFunction
      Returns:
      Its parameters list.
    • getParameter

      public ADQLOperand getParameter(int index) throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
      Description copied from class: ADQLFunction
      Gets the index-th parameter.
      Specified by:
      getParameter in class ADQLFunction
      Parameters:
      index - Parameter number.
      Returns:
      The corresponding parameter.
      Throws:
      ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - If the index is incorrect (index invalid input: '<' 0 || index >= getNbParameters()).
    • setParameter

      public ADQLOperand setParameter(int index, ADQLOperand replacer) throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, NullPointerException, Exception
      Description copied from class: ADQLFunction
      Replaces the index-th parameter by the given one.
      Specified by:
      setParameter in class ADQLFunction
      Parameters:
      index - Index of the parameter to replace.
      replacer - The replacer.
      Returns:
      The replaced parameter.
      Throws:
      ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - If the index is incorrect (index invalid input: '<' 0 || index >= getNbParameters()).
      NullPointerException - If a required parameter must be replaced by a NULL object.
      Exception - If another error occurs.
