  org.mmbase.storage.search.implementation.database.BasicQueryHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

SearchQueryHandler

public class BasicQueryHandler

extends java.lang.Object

implements SearchQueryHandler

Basic implementation using a database. Uses a SqlHandler to create SQL string representations of search queries.

In order to execute search queries, these are represented as SQL strings by the handler, and in this form executed on the database.

Method Detail

getNodes

public java.util.List getNodes(SearchQuery query,
                               MMObjectBuilder builder)
                        throws SearchQueryException

Description copied from interface: SearchQueryHandler

Processes a search query, returns the result as a list of nodes. Depending on the specified builder, the results will be:

• Resultnodes, with fields named according to the field aliases specified by the query.
• Clusternodes, with fields named <step alias>.<field name>, where the step alias is required to be of the form <step tablename><x>, and <x> is either empty or a single digit. Examples:
  images.number, images0.number, images1.number
• Real nodes, where all fields are required to be included in the query.

Specified by:

getNodes in interface SearchQueryHandler

Parameters:

query - The search query.

builder - The builder for the result nodes. Specify a ResultBuilder to get resultnodes. ClusterBuilder to get clusternodes.

Returns:

The resulting nodes.

Throws:

SearchQueryException

getSupportLevel

public int getSupportLevel(int feature,
                           SearchQuery query)
                    throws SearchQueryException

Description copied from interface: SearchQueryHandler

Gets the level at which a feature is supported for a query by this handler. This is one of either:

• SUPPORT_NONE
• SUPPORT_WEAK
• SUPPORT_NORMAL
• SUPPORT_OPTIMAL

Given the choice, the query handler with the highest level of support is prefered.
