Method Detail

implementSelf

Expression implementSelf(JavaRelImplementor implementor)

Returns a Java expression which yields the current row of this relational expression. This method is called by the JavaRelImplementor the first time a piece of Java code wants to refer to this relation. The implementor then uses this expression to initialize a variable.

If no code needs to refer to this relation, then the expression is never generated. This prevents generating useless code like

Dummy_12f614.Ojp_1 oj_var8 = new Dummy_12f614.Ojp_1();

.

If a relational expression has one input relational expression which has the same row type, you may be able to share its variable. Call Implementor#bind(Rel,Rel) to do this.
