Class ZeroIfNull


public class ZeroIfNull extends NumericArgumentFunction
ZEROIFNULL refuses more DECLARED families than its numeric-argument neighbours: a SQL BOOLEAN, every temporal flavour and a BINARY are each a compile-time argument-type error — positioned at the call, the family named with its parameters ((BOOLEAN), (DATE), (TIME(9)), (TIMESTAMP_NTZ(9)), (BINARY(67108864))) — while NUMBER, FLOAT, VARCHAR and VARIANT convert, a VARIANT even when it holds the same boolean that is refused declared (all live-verified).

    • evaluate

      public Object evaluate(List<Object> args)
      Description copied from class: BuiltInFunction
      Computes the function's result over its already-evaluated argument values. A SQL NULL argument arrives as Java null, and returning null makes the SQL result NULL.
      Specified by:
      evaluate in class BuiltInFunction
      Parameters:
      args - the argument values, in call order
      Returns:
      the function's value for these arguments, or null for SQL NULL
    • getMinArgCount

      public int getMinArgCount()
      Description copied from class: BuiltInFunction
      The fewest arguments a call to this function may pass; fewer is an argument-count error.
      Specified by:
      getMinArgCount in class BuiltInFunction
      Returns:
      the minimum accepted argument count
    • getMaxArgCount

      public int getMaxArgCount()
      Description copied from class: BuiltInFunction
      The most arguments a call to this function may pass; Integer.MAX_VALUE marks a variadic function (see BuiltInFunction.isVariadic()).
      Specified by:
      getMaxArgCount in class BuiltInFunction
      Returns:
      the maximum accepted argument count
