Constructor Detail

PGInterval

public PGInterval()

required by the driver

PGInterval

public PGInterval(java.lang.String value)
           throws java.sql.SQLException

Initialize a interval with a given interval string representation

Parameters:

value - String representated interval (e.g. '3 years 2 mons')

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - Is thrown if the string representation has an unknown format

See Also:

setValue(String)

PGInterval

public PGInterval(int years,
                  int months,
                  int days,
                  int hours,
                  int minutes,
                  double seconds)

Initializes all values of this interval to the specified values

See Also:

setValue(int, int, int, int, int, double)

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String value)
              throws java.sql.SQLException

Sets a interval string represented value to this instance. This method only recognize the format, that Postgres returns - not all input formats are supported (e.g. '1 yr 2 m 3 s')!

Overrides:

setValue in class PGobject

Parameters:

value - String representated interval (e.g. '3 years 2 mons')

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - Is thrown if the string representation has an unknown format

setValue

public void setValue(int years,
                     int months,
                     int days,
                     int hours,
                     int minutes,
                     double seconds)

Set all values of this interval to the specified values

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Returns the stored interval information as a string

Overrides:

getValue in class PGobject

Returns:

String represented interval

getYears

public int getYears()

Returns the years represented by this interval

setYears

public void setYears(int years)

Set the years of this interval to the specified value

getMonths

public int getMonths()

Returns the months represented by this interval

setMonths

public void setMonths(int months)

Set the months of this interval to the specified value

getDays

public int getDays()

Returns the days represented by this interval

setDays

public void setDays(int days)

Set the days of this interval to the specified value

getHours

public int getHours()

Returns the hours represented by this interval

setHours

public void setHours(int hours)

Set the hours of this interval to the specified value

getMinutes

public int getMinutes()

Returns the minutes represented by this interval

setMinutes

public void setMinutes(int minutes)

Set the minutes of this interval to the specified value

getSeconds

public double getSeconds()

Returns the seconds represented by this interval

setSeconds

public void setSeconds(double seconds)

Set the seconds of this interval to the specified value

add

public void add(java.util.Calendar cal)

Rolls this interval on a given calendar

Parameters:

cal - Calendar instance to add to

add

public void add(java.util.Date date)

Rolls this interval on a given date

Parameters:

date - Date instance to add to

add

public void add(PGInterval interval)

Add this interval's value to the passed interval. This is backwards to what I would expect, but this makes it match the other existing add methods.

scale

public void scale(int factor)

Scale this interval by an integer factor. The server can scale by arbitrary factors, but that would require adjusting the call signatures for all the existing methods like getDays() or providing our own justification of fractional intervals. Neither of these seem like a good idea without a strong use case.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Returns whether an object is equal to this one or not

Overrides:

equals in class PGobject

Parameters:

obj - Object to compare with

Returns:

true if the two intervals are identical

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hashCode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

hashCode
