Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-650:
------------------------------------
Suggested JDOQL syntax would be
IF (conditional_expression)
scalar_expression
{ELSE IF (conditional_expression)
scalar_expression}*
ELSE
scalar_expression
And yes, DataNucleus has support for such a construct (unreleased).
> Support for conditional operator ? : in JDOQL
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JDO-650
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-650
> Project: JDO
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: specification, tck
> Affects Versions: JDO 2 maintenance release 2 (2.2)
> Reporter: Michael Bouschen
> Assignee: Michael Bouschen
> Fix For: JDO 3.2
>
>
> JDOQL should support the Java conditional operator ? :, e.g. salay >= 1000.0
> ? salary : salary * 1.1
> The conditional operator can be mapped to the CASE-expression in SQL: CASE
> WHEN condition THEN thenExpr ELSE elseExpr END. Are there any issues with
> non-SQL datastores when supporting the conditional operator?
> Another question: which part of a JDOQL query can include a conditional
> expression? I propose the query filter, the having clause and the result
> specification.
