public class AbstractConverter

extends ConverterRel

Converts a relational expression to any given output convention.

Unlike most ConverterRels, and abstract converter is always abstract. You would typically create an AbstractConverter when it is necessary to transform a relational expression immediately; later, rules will transform it into relational expressions which can be implemented.

If an abstract converter cannot be satisfied immediately (because the source subset is abstract), the set is flagged, so this converter will be expanded as soon as a non-abstract relexp is added to the set.

Method Detail

getConvention

public CallingConvention getConvention()

Description copied from class: SaffronRel

Returns a value from CallingConvention.

Overrides:

getConvention in class SaffronRel

clone

public Object clone()

Specified by:

clone in class SaffronRel

computeSelfCost

public PlanCost computeSelfCost(SaffronPlanner planner)

Description copied from class: SaffronRel

Returns the cost of this plan (not including children). The base implementation throws an error; derived classes should override.

Overrides:

computeSelfCost in class ConverterRel

explain

public void explain(PlanWriter pw)

Overrides:

explain in class SingleRel
