SQL::Statement::TermFactory - Factory for SQL::Statement::Term instances
Contents
Description
This package implements a factory to create type and operation based terms. Those terms are used to
access data from the table(s) - either when evaluating the where clause or returning column data.
The concept of a factory can be studied in DesignPatterns by the Gang of Four. The concept of using
polymorphism instead of conditions is suggested by Martin Fowler in his book Refactoring.
Methods
buildCondition
Builds a condition object from a given (part of a) where clause. This method calls itself recursively for
predicates.
