Class TryToTimestamp

java.lang.Object
dev.frostlake.functions.BuiltInFunction
dev.frostlake.functions.scalar.conversion.TryToTimestamp

public class TryToTimestamp extends BuiltInFunction
TRY_TO_TIMESTAMP / _NTZ / _LTZ / _TZ — the non-throwing form of TO_TIMESTAMP: the same conversion into the same flavour's value (see TimestampFlavourConversion), NULL instead of a refusal for input it cannot read. The source must be text — a NUMBER is refused while the statement compiles, as TRY_CAST refuses it — so a string of digits is the only epoch it meets.

  • Method Details

    • getReturnType

      public DataType getReturnType()
      The BARE spelling follows the session's TIMESTAMP_TYPE_MAPPING, re-resolved on every call as TO_TIMESTAMP's is: the registry builds each function once, before any session exists.
      Overrides:
      getReturnType in class BuiltInFunction
    • 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
