Method Detail

### getObjEntity

    ObjEntity getObjEntity()

  Returns an ObjEntity associated with a query or null if no such entity exists.

### getDbEntity

    DbEntity getDbEntity()

  Returns a DbEntity associated with a query or null if no such entity exists.

### getProcedure

    Procedure getProcedure()

  Returns a Procedure associated with a query or null if no such procedure exists.

### getDataMap

    DataMap getDataMap()

  Returns a DataMap associated with a query or null if no such DataMap exists.

### getCachePolicy

    java.lang.String getCachePolicy()

  Returns query cache policy, which can be one of `NO_CACHE`, `LOCAL_CACHE`, or `SHARED_CACHE`. NO_CACHE is generally a default policy.

### getCacheKey

    java.lang.String getCacheKey()

  Returns a String that uniquely identifies this query for the purposes of result caching. If null is returned, no caching is performed.

### isFetchingDataRows

    boolean isFetchingDataRows()

  Returns `true` if this query should produce a list of data rows as opposed to DataObjects, `false` for DataObjects. This is a hint to QueryEngine executing this query.

### isRefreshingObjects

    boolean isRefreshingObjects()

  Returns `true` if the query results should replace any currently cached values, returns `false` otherwise. If `isFetchingDataRows()`returns `true`, this setting is not applicable and has no effect.

### isResolvingInherited

    boolean isResolvingInherited()

  Returns true if objects fetched via this query should be fully resolved according to the inheritance hierarchy.

### getPageSize

    int getPageSize()

  Returns query page size. Page size is a hint to Cayenne that query should be performed page by page, instead of retrieveing all results at once. If the value returned is less than or equal to zero, no paging should occur.

### getFetchStartIndex

    int getFetchStartIndex()

  Specifies a start of a range when fetching a subset of records. The last index is determined by `getFetchLimit()`.

### getFetchLimit

    int getFetchLimit()

  Returns the limit on the maximium number of records that can be returned by this query. If the actual number of rows in the result exceeds the fetch limit, they will be discarded. One possible use of fetch limit is using it as a safeguard against large result sets that may lead to the application running out of memory, etc. If a fetch limit is greater or equal to zero, all rows will be returned.

  Returns:
    the limit on the maximium number of records that can be returned by this query

### getPrefetchTree

    PrefetchTreeNode getPrefetchTree()

  Returns a root node of prefetch tree used by this query, or null of no prefetches are configured.
