Whether the combination of the individual sub-queries can result in duplicate results. Indicates to the query executor whether the results need to be de-duplicated

Returns:

true, if duplicate results are possible, else false

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Whether the result set of this query is empty

Returns:

numSubQueries

int numSubQueries()

Returns the number of sub-queries this query is comprised of.

Returns:

getSubQuery

BackendQueryHolder<B> getSubQuery(int position)

Returns the backend query at the given position that comprises this ElementQuery

Parameters:

position -

Returns:

matches

boolean matches(R element)

Whether the given element matches the conditions of this query.

Used for result filtering if the result set returned by the query executor is not fitted.

Parameters:

element -

Returns:

isSorted

boolean isSorted()

Whether this query expects the results to be in a particular sort order.

Returns:

getSortOrder

Comparator<R> getSortOrder()

Returns the expected sort order of this query if any was specified. Check isSorted() first.

Returns:
