getConverter
```
Converter<?,T> getConverter()
```
The field's underlying Converter.
By default, all fields reference an identity-converter Converter<T, T>. Custom data types may be obtained by a custom Converter placed on the generated TableField.

Specified by:

getConverter in interface SelectField<T>

getBinding
```
Binding<?,T> getBinding()
```
The field's underlying Binding.

Specified by:

getBinding in interface SelectField<T>

getType
```
Class<T> getType()
```
The Java type of the field.

Specified by:

getType in interface SelectField<T>

getDataType
```
DataType<T> getDataType()
```
The type of this field (might not be dialect-specific).

Specified by:

getDataType in interface SelectField<T>

getDataType
```
DataType<T> getDataType(Configuration configuration)
```
The dialect-specific type of this field.

Specified by:

getDataType in interface SelectField<T>

as
```
@Support
Field<T> as(String alias)
```
Create an alias for this field.
Note that the case-sensitivity of the returned field depends on Settings.getRenderNameStyle(). By default, field aliases are quoted, and thus case-sensitive!

Parameters:

alias - The alias name

Returns:

The field alias

as
```
@Support
Field<T> as(Field<?> otherField)
```
Create an alias for this field based on another field's name.
Note that the case-sensitivity of the returned field depends on Settings.getRenderNameStyle(). By default, field aliases are quoted, and thus case-sensitive!

Parameters:

otherField - The other field whose name this field is aliased with.

Returns:

The field alias.

equals
```
boolean equals(Object other)
```
Check whether this QueryPart can be considered equal to another QueryPart.
In general, QueryPart equality is defined in terms of QueryPart.toString() equality. In other words, two query parts are considered equal if their rendered SQL (with inlined bind variables) is equal. This means that the two query parts do not necessarily have to be of the same type.
Some QueryPart implementations may choose to override this behaviour for improved performance, as QueryPart.toString() is an expensive operation, if called many times.
Watch out! This is Object.equals(Object), not a jOOQ DSL feature!

Specified by:

equals in interface QueryPart

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

other - The other QueryPart

Returns:

Whether the two query parts are equal

cast
```
@Support
<Z> Field<Z> cast(Field<Z> field)
```
Cast this field to the type of another field.
This results in the same as casting this field to DataType.getCastTypeName()

Type Parameters:

Z - The generic type of the cast field

Parameters:

field - The field whose type is used for the cast

Returns:

The cast field

See Also:

cast(DataType)

cast
```
@Support
<Z> Field<Z> cast(DataType<Z> type)
```
Cast this field to a dialect-specific data type.

Type Parameters:

Z - The generic type of the cast field

Parameters:

type - The data type that is used for the cast

Returns:

The cast field

cast
```
@Support
<Z> Field<Z> cast(Class<Z> type)
```
Cast this field to another type.
The actual cast may not be accurate as the DataType has to be "guessed" from the jOOQ-configured data types. Use cast(DataType) for more accurate casts.

Type Parameters:

Z - The generic type of the cast field

Parameters:

type - The type that is used for the cast

Returns:

The cast field

See Also:

cast(DataType)

coerce

@Support
<Z> Field<Z> coerce(Field<Z> field)

Coerce this field to the type of another field.

Unlike with casting, coercing doesn't affect the way the database sees a Field's type. This is how coercing affects your SQL:

Bind values

 // This binds an int value to a JDBC PreparedStatement
 DSL.val(1).coerce(String.class);

 // This binds an int value to a JDBC PreparedStatement
 // and casts it to VARCHAR in SQL
 DSL.val(1).cast(String.class);

Other Field types

 // This fetches a String value for the BOOK.ID field from JDBC
 BOOK.ID.coerce(String.class);

 // This fetches a String value for the BOOK.ID field from JDBC
 // after casting it to VARCHAR in the database
 BOOK.ID.cast(String.class);

Type Parameters:: Z - The generic type of the coerced field
Parameters:: field - The field whose type is used for the coercion
Returns:: The coerced field
See Also:: coerce(DataType), cast(Field)

<Z> Field<Z> coerce(DataType<Z> type)

Bind values

 // This binds an int value to a JDBC PreparedStatement
 DSL.val(1).coerce(String.class);

contains
```
@Support
Condition contains(T value)
```
Convenience method for like(String, char) including proper adding of wildcards and escaping.
SQL: this like ('%' || escape(value, '\') || '%') escape '\'
Note: This also works with numbers, for instance val(1133).contains(13)
If you're using SQLDialect.POSTGRES, then you can use this method also to express the "ARRAY contains" operator. For example:
```
 // Use this expression
 val(new Integer[] { 1, 2, 3 }).contains(new Integer[] { 1, 2 })

 // ... to render this SQL
 ARRAY[1, 2, 3] @> ARRAY[1, 2]
 
```
Note, this does not correspond to the Oracle Text CONTAINS() function. Refer to OracleDSL.contains(Field, String) instead.
