this in-build SELECT statement

writeTime

public Select.SelectionOrAlias writeTime(String name)

Selects the write time of provided column.

This is a shortcut for fcall("writetime", QueryBuilder.column(name)).

Specified by:

writeTime in class Select.Selection

Parameters:

name - the name of the column to select the write time of.

Returns:

this in-build SELECT statement

ttl

public Select.SelectionOrAlias ttl(String name)

Selects the ttl of provided column.

This is a shortcut for fcall("ttl", QueryBuilder.column(name)).

fcall

public Select.SelectionOrAlias fcall(String name,
                                     Object... parameters)

Creates a function call.

Please note that the parameters are interpreted as values, and so fcall("textToBlob", "foo") will generate the string "textToBlob('foo')". If you want to generate "textToBlob(foo)", i.e. if the argument must be interpreted as a column name (in a select clause), you will need to use the QueryBuilder.column(java.lang.String) method, and so fcall("textToBlob", QueryBuilder.column(foo).
