Interface SelectJoinStep<R extends Record>

  • All Superinterfaces:
    Attachable, AutoCloseable, FieldLike, Flow.Publisher<R>, Iterable<R>, org.reactivestreams.Publisher<R>, Query, QueryPart, ResultQuery<R>, Select<R>, SelectConnectByStep<R>, SelectFinalStep<R>, SelectForUpdateStep<R>, SelectGroupByStep<R>, SelectHavingStep<R>, SelectLimitStep<R>, SelectOptionStep<R>, SelectOrderByStep<R>, SelectQualifyStep<R>, SelectUnionStep<R>, SelectWhereStep<R>, SelectWindowStep<R>, Serializable, Statement, TableLike<R>
    All Known Subinterfaces:
    SelectOnConditionStep<R>, SelectOptionalOnStep<R>
    public interface SelectJoinStep<R extends Record>
extends SelectWhereStep<R>
    This type is used for the Select's DSL API when selecting generic Record types.

    Example: 

     -- get all authors' first and last names, and the number
 -- of books they've written in German, if they have written
 -- more than five books in German in the last three years
 -- (from 2011), and sort those authors by last names
 -- limiting results to the second and third row

   SELECT T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, COUNT(*)
     FROM T_AUTHOR
     JOIN T_BOOK ON T_AUTHOR.ID = T_BOOK.AUTHOR_ID
    WHERE T_BOOK.LANGUAGE = 'DE'
      AND T_BOOK.PUBLISHED > '2008-01-01'
 GROUP BY T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME
   HAVING COUNT(*) > 5
 ORDER BY T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME ASC NULLS FIRST
    LIMIT 2
   OFFSET 1
      FOR UPDATE
       OF FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME
       NO WAIT
    Its equivalent in jOOQ 
     create.select(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME, create.count())
       .from(T_AUTHOR)
       .join(T_BOOK).on(TBook.AUTHOR_ID.equal(TAuthor.ID))
       .where(TBook.LANGUAGE.equal("DE"))
       .and(TBook.PUBLISHED.greaterThan(parseDate('2008-01-01')))
       .groupBy(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME)
       .having(create.count().greaterThan(5))
       .orderBy(TAuthor.LAST_NAME.asc().nullsFirst())
       .limit(2)
       .offset(1)
       .forUpdate()
       .of(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME)
       .noWait();

    Referencing XYZ*Step types directly from client code

    It is usually not recommended to reference any XYZ*Step types directly from client code, or assign them to local variables. When writing dynamic SQL, creating a statement's components dynamically, and passing them to the DSL API statically is usually a better choice. See the manual's section about dynamic SQL for details: https://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/sql-building/dynamic-sql.

    Drawbacks of referencing the XYZ*Step types directly:

    • They're operating on mutable implementations (as of jOOQ 3.x)
    • They're less composable and not easy to get right when dynamic SQL gets complex
    • They're less readable
    • They might have binary incompatible changes between minor releases
