Class StartWithClause

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.AbstractExpression
      org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.AbstractConditionalClause
          org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.StartWithClause

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class StartWithClause
extends AbstractConditionalClause

A START WITH clause is optional and specifies the root row(s) of the hierarchy. If this clause is omitted, then Oracle uses all rows in the table as root rows. The START WITH condition can contain a subquery, but it cannot contain a scalar subquery expression.

BNF: start_with_clause ::= START WITH conditional_expression
