Field Detail

### pattern

    protected Pattern pattern

### patternCompiled

    protected boolean patternCompiled

### ignoringCase

    protected boolean ignoringCase

### escapeChar

    protected char escapeChar

Method Detail

### getEscapeChar

    public char getEscapeChar()

  This method will return an escape character for the like clause. The escape character will eventually end up in the query as `...(t0.foo LIKE ? {escape '|'}) where the pipe symbol is the escape character.`

  Note that having no escape character is represented as the character 0.

### setEscapeChar

    public void setEscapeChar(char value)

  This method allows the setting of the escape character. The escape character can be used in a LIKE clause. The character 0 signifies no escape character. The escape characyer '?' is disallowed.

### matchPattern

    protected boolean matchPattern(String string)

### getPattern

    protected Pattern getPattern()

### jjtAddChild

    public void jjtAddChild(Node n,
                            int i)

  Description copied from interface: `Node`
  This method tells the node to add its argument to the node's list of children.

  Specified by:
    `jjtAddChild` in interface `Node`
  Overrides:
    `jjtAddChild` in class `SimpleNode`
