    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    static boolean
    allRowsMatch(Column column, RowPredicate include)
     
    default void
    appendTo(int i, StringBuilder out, ToStringSettings settings)
    Appends the value at the supplied row using the provided rendering settings.
    int
    compare(int i, int j)
    Compares two row values from this column using the column's ordering semantics.
    Column
    copy(ColumnName x)
    Creates a copy of this column with the supplied column name.
    Column
    copy(ColumnName x, RowPredicate include)
    Creates a copy of this column with the supplied column name, only retaining rows included by the supplied row predicate.
    default long
    count()
    Returns the number of rows that contain a value.
    ColumnName
    getName()
    Returns the logical column name.
    Column.Type
    getType()
    Returns the declared type of values stored in this column.
    boolean
    isAllSet()
    Indicates whether every row in the column contains a value.
    boolean
    isConstant()
    Indicates whether the column represents the same value for every row.Unset values are part of the value pattern, so an all-unset column is constant, while a mix of unset and set values is not constant unless the implementation explicitly defines that pattern as constant.
    default boolean
    isEmpty()
    Indicates whether the column has no set values, either because it has no rows or because every row is unset.
    boolean
    isNoneSet()
    Indicates whether no row in the column contains a value.
    boolean
    isSet(int i)
    Indicates whether the value at the supplied row is present.
    RowPredicate
    predicate(Column.Operator operator, CharSequence... values)
    Creates a row predicate by parsing the supplied comparison values according to this column's type.
    default RowPredicate
    predicate(ComparisonCondition condition)
     
    Column
    selectRow(int i)
    Returns a single-row column containing the value from the supplied row.
    int
    size()
    Returns the number of rows in the column.
    String
    toString(int i)
    Formats the value at the supplied row for display.
    default String
    toString(int i, ToStringSettings settings)
    Formats the value at the supplied row using the provided rendering settings.
    Column
    view(ViewIndex rowIndex)
    Returns a projected view of this column using the supplied row mapping.

      boolean isSet(int i)
      Indicates whether the value at the supplied row is present.
      Parameters:
      i - the zero-based row index
      Returns:
      true when the row contains a value

    • isAllSet

      boolean isAllSet()
      Indicates whether every row in the column contains a value.
      Returns:
      true when all rows are set

    • isNoneSet

      boolean isNoneSet()
      Indicates whether no row in the column contains a value.

    • isConstant

      boolean isConstant()
