Package com.google.cloud.spanner

Class Value

java.lang.Object
com.google.cloud.spanner.Value
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
@Immutable public abstract class Value extends Object implements Serializable
Represents a value to be consumed by the Cloud Spanner API. A value can be NULL or non-NULL; regardless, values always have an associated type.

The Value API is optimized for construction, since this is the majority use-case when using this class with the Cloud Spanner libraries. The factory method signatures and internal representations are design to minimize memory usage and object creation while still maintaining the immutability contract of this class. In particular, arrays of primitive types can be constructed without requiring boxing into collections of wrapper types. The getters in this class are intended primarily for test purposes, and so do not share the same performance characteristics; in particular, getters for array types may be expensive.

Value instances are immutable.

  • Field Details

    • COMMIT_TIMESTAMP

      public static final com.google.cloud.Timestamp COMMIT_TIMESTAMP
      Placeholder value to be passed to a mutation to make Cloud Spanner store the commit timestamp in that column. The commit timestamp is the timestamp corresponding to when Cloud Spanner commits the transaction containing the mutation.

      Note that this particular timestamp instance has no semantic meaning. In particular the value of seconds and nanoseconds in this timestamp are meaningless. This placeholder can only be used for columns that have set the option "(allow_commit_timestamp=true)" in the schema.

      When reading the value stored in such a column, the value returned is an actual timestamp corresponding to the commit time of the transaction, which has no relation to this placeholder.

    • NAN

      public static final String NAN
      Constant to specify a PG Numeric NaN value.

  • Method Details

    • untyped

      public static Value untyped(com.google.protobuf.Value value)
      Returns a Value that wraps the given proto value. This can be used to construct a value without a specific type, and let the backend infer the type based on the statement where it is used.
      Parameters:
      value - the non-null proto value (a NullValue is allowed)

    • bool

      public static Value bool(@Nullable Boolean v)
      Returns a BOOL value.
      Parameters:
      v - the value, which may be null

    • bool

    • int64

      public static Value int64(@Nullable Long v)
      Returns an INT64 value.
      Parameters:
      v - the value, which may be null

    • int64

      public static Value int64(long v)
      Returns an INT64 value.

    • float32

      public static Value float32(@Nullable Float v)
      Returns a FLOAT32 value.
      Parameters:
      v - the value, which may be null

    • float32

      public static Value float32(float v)
      Returns a FLOAT32 value.

    • float64

      public static Value float64(@Nullable Double v)
      Returns a FLOAT64 value.
      Parameters:
      v - the value, which may be null

    • float64

      public static Value float64(double v)
      Returns a FLOAT64 value.

    • numeric

      public static Value numeric(@Nullable BigDecimal v)
      Returns a NUMERIC value. The valid value range for the whole component of the BigDecimal is from -9,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 to +9,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 (both inclusive), i.e. the max length of the whole component is 29 digits. The max length of the fractional part is 9 digits. Trailing zeros in the fractional part are not considered and will be lost, as Cloud Spanner does not preserve the precision of a numeric value.

      If you set a numeric value of a record to for example 0.10, Cloud Spanner will return this value as 0.1 in subsequent queries. Use BigDecimal.stripTrailingZeros() to compare inserted values with retrieved values if your application might insert numeric values with trailing zeros.

      Parameters:
      v - the value, which may be null

    • pgNumeric

      public static Value pgNumeric(@Nullable String v)

      Note that this flavour of numeric is different than Spanner numerics (numeric(BigDecimal)). It should be used only for handling numerics in the PostgreSQL dialect.

      Parameters:
      v - the value, which may be null
