      alias - the column alias to set
      Returns:
      new instance with alias set
    • render

      default FragmentAndParameters render(RenderingContext renderingContext)
      Returns a rendering of the column. The rendered fragment should include the table alias based on the TableAliasCalculator in the RenderingContext. The fragment could contain prepared statement parameter markers and associated parameter values if desired.
      Parameters:
      renderingContext - the rendering context (strategy, sequence, etc.)
      Returns:
      a rendered SQL fragment and, optionally, parameters associated with the fragment

    • renderWithTableAlias

      @Deprecated default String renderWithTableAlias(TableAliasCalculator tableAliasCalculator)
      Deprecated.
      Please replace this method by overriding the more general "render" method
      Returns the name of the item aliased with a table name if appropriate. For example, "a.foo". This is appropriate for where clauses and order by clauses.
      Parameters:
      tableAliasCalculator - the table alias calculator for the current renderer
      Returns:
      the item name with the table alias applied
    • columnList

      static BasicColumn[] columnList(BasicColumn... columns)
      Utility method to make it easier to build column lists for methods that require an array rather than the varargs method.
      Parameters:
      columns - list of BasicColumn
      Returns:
      an array of BasicColumn
