dev.frostlake.functions.scalar.conversion.TryCast

public class TryCast
extends BuiltInFunction

Catalog entry for TRY_CAST. The construct is pure grammar — TRY_CAST(expr AS type) parses as a cast expression and evaluates there; a function-call shape (TRY_CAST(x, 'type') or TRY_CAST(x)) is a syntax error at the comma/paren, live-verified, and the grammar refuses it before name resolution. This class exists only so SHOW FUNCTIONS lists TRY_CAST the way a real account does.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Object	evaluate(List<Object> args)	Computes the function's result over its already-evaluated argument values.
int	getMaxArgCount()	The most arguments a call to this function may pass; Integer.MAX_VALUE marks a variadic function (see BuiltInFunction.isVariadic()).
int	getMinArgCount()	The fewest arguments a call to this function may pass; fewer is an argument-count error.

Method Details

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
