Interface ASTVisitor

All Superinterfaces:

Visitor

public interface ASTVisitor
extends Visitor

A Visitor which handles nodes in Derby's abstract syntax trees. In addition to this contract, it is expected that an ASTVisitor will have a 0-arg constructor. You use an ASTVisitor like this:

 // initialize your visitor
 MyASTVisitor myVisitor = new MyASTVisitor();
 myVisitor.initializeVisitor();
 languageConnectionContext.setASTVisitor( myVisitor );

 // then run your queries.
 ...

 // when you're done inspecting query trees, release resources and
 // remove your visitor
 languageConnectionContext.setASTVisitor( null );
 myVisitor.teardownVisitor();
 

Field Summary

static int	AFTER_BIND
static int	AFTER_OPTIMIZE
static int	AFTER_PARSE

Method Summary

void	begin(String statementText, int phase) The compiler calls this method just before walking a query tree.
void	end(int phase) The compiler calls this method when it's done walking a tree.
void	initializeVisitor() Initialize the Visitor before processing any trees.
void	teardownVisitor() Final call to the Visitor.

Method Detail

initializeVisitor

void initializeVisitor()
                       throws StandardException

Initialize the Visitor before processing any trees. User-written code calls this method before poking the Visitor into the LanguageConnectionContext. For example, an implementation of this method might open a trace file.

Throws:

StandardException

teardownVisitor

void teardownVisitor()
                     throws StandardException

Final call to the Visitor. User-written code calls this method when it is done inspecting query trees. For instance, an implementation of this method might release resources, closing files it has opened.

Throws:

StandardException

begin

void begin(String statementText,
           int phase)
           throws StandardException

The compiler calls this method just before walking a query tree.

Parameters:

statementText - Text used to create the tree.

phase - of compilation (AFTER_PARSE, AFTER_BIND, or AFTER_OPTIMIZE).

Throws:

StandardException

end

void end(int phase)
         throws StandardException

The compiler calls this method when it's done walking a tree.

Parameters:

phase - of compilation (AFTER_PARSE, AFTER_BIND, or AFTER_OPTIMIZE).

Throws:

StandardException
