```
public abstract class CustomField<T>
extends Object
```
A base class for custom Field implementations in client code.
Client code may provide proper Condition implementations extending this useful base class. All necessary parts of the Condition interface are already implemented. Only this method needs further implementation: accept(Context).
Refer to that methods' Javadoc for further details about their expected behaviour.

Method Detail

accept
```
public abstract void accept(Context<?> ctx)
```
Subclasses must implement this method.
This QueryPart can accept a Context object in order to render a SQL string or to bind its variables.

Specified by:

accept in interface QueryPartInternal

clauses
```
public final Clause[] clauses(Context<?> ctx)
```
Description copied from interface: QueryPartInternal

The Clauses that are represented by this query part.
QueryParts can specify several Clauses for which an event will be emitted before (in forward order) and after (in reverse order) visiting the the query part through Context.visit(QueryPart)
This method is for JOOQ INTERNAL USE only. Do not reference directly

Specified by:

```
public final Field<T> as(String alias)
```
Description copied from interface: Field

Create an alias for this field.
Note that the case-sensitivity of the returned field depends on Settings.getRenderQuotedNames(). By default, field aliases are quoted, and thus case-sensitive in many SQL dialects!

Specified by:

Parameters:

alias - The alias name

Returns:

The field alias

as
```
public final Field<T> as(Field<?> otherField)
```
Description copied from interface: Field

Create an alias for this field based on another field's name.

```
 MY_TABLE.as("t1", f -> "prefix_" + f.getName());

coerce

public final <Z> Field<Z> coerce(Field<Z> field)

Description copied from interface: Field

 DSL.val(1).coerce(String.class);

 // This binds an int value to a JDBC PreparedStatement
 // and casts it to VARCHAR in SQL
 DSL.val(1).cast(String.class);

Other Field types

 // This fetches a String value for the BOOK.ID field from JDBC
 BOOK.ID.coerce(String.class);

 // This fetches a String value for the BOOK.ID field from JDBC
 // after casting it to VARCHAR in the database
 BOOK.ID.cast(String.class);

Specified by:: coerce in interface Field<T>
Type Parameters:: Z - The generic type of the coerced field
Parameters:: field - The field whose type is used for the coercion

Convenience method for Field.like(String, char) including proper adding of wildcards and escaping.
SQL: this like ('%' || escape(value, '\') || '%') escape '\'
Note: This also works with numbers, for instance val(1133).contains(13)
If you're using SQLDialect.POSTGRES, then you can use this method also to express the "ARRAY contains" operator. For example:
```
 // Use this expression
 val(new Integer[] { 1, 2, 3 }).contains(new Integer[] { 1, 2 })

 // ... to render this SQL
 ARRAY[1, 2, 3] @> ARRAY[1, 2]

Description copied from interface: Field
Convenience method for Field.like(String, char) including proper adding of wildcards and escaping.
SQL: this like ('%' || escape(value, '\') || '%') escape '\'
Note: This also works with numbers, for instance val(1133).contains(13)
If you're using SQLDialect.POSTGRES, then you can use this method also to express the "ARRAY contains" operator. For example:
```
 // Use this expression
 val(new Integer[] { 1, 2, 3 }).contains(new Integer[] { 1, 2 })

 // ... to render this SQL
 ARRAY[1, 2, 3] @> ARRAY[1, 2]
 
```
Note, this does not correspond to the Oracle Text CONTAINS() function. Refer to OracleDSL.contains(Field, String) instead.

hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
Description copied from interface: QueryPart

Generate a hash code from this QueryPart.
In general, QueryPart hash codes are the same as the hash codes generated from QueryPart.toString(). This guarantees consistent behaviour with QueryPart.equals(Object)
Some QueryPart implementations may choose to override this behaviour for improved performance, as QueryPart.toString() is an expensive operation, if called many times.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface QueryPart

Returns:

The QueryPart hash code

equals
```
public boolean equals(Object that)
```
Description copied from interface: QueryPart

Check whether this QueryPart can be considered equal to another QueryPart.
In general, QueryPart equality is defined in terms of QueryPart.toString() equality. In other words, two query parts are considered equal if their rendered SQL (with inlined bind variables) is equal. This means that the two query parts do not necessarily have to be of the same type.
Some QueryPart implementations may choose to override this behaviour for improved performance, as QueryPart.toString() is an expensive operation, if called many times.

Specified by:

equals in interface QueryPart

Parameters:

that - The other QueryPart

Returns:

Whether the two query parts are equal

toSQL
```
@Deprecated
public final void toSQL(RenderContext context)
```
Deprecated.
- 3.4.0 - [#2694] - Use QueryPartInternal.accept(Context) instead.

Description copied from interface: QueryPartInternal

Render this QueryPart to a SQL string contained in context.sql(). The context will contain additional information about how to render this QueryPart, e.g. whether this QueryPart should be rendered as a declaration or reference, whether this QueryPart's contained bind variables should be inlined or replaced by '?', etc.

Specified by:

toSQL in interface QueryPartInternal

bind
```
@Deprecated

Deprecated.
- 3.4.0 - [#2694] - Use QueryPartInternal.accept(Context) instead.

Description copied from interface: QueryPartInternal

Bind all parameters of this QueryPart to a PreparedStatement
This method is for JOOQ INTERNAL USE only. Do not reference directly

Specified by:

bind in interface QueryPartInternal

Parameters:

context - The context holding the next bind index and other information for variable binding

Throws:

DataAccessException - If something went wrong while binding a variable

generatesCast
```

```

Specified by:

toString
```
public String toString()
```
Description copied from interface: QueryPart

Render a SQL string representation of this QueryPart.
For improved debugging, this renders a SQL string of this QueryPart with inlined bind variables. If this QueryPart is Attachable, then the attached Configuration may be used for rendering the SQL string, including SQLDialect and Settings. Do note that most QueryPart instances are not attached to a Configuration, and thus there is no guarantee that the SQL string will make sense in the context of a specific database.

Specified by:

toString in interface QueryPart

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A SQL string representation of this QueryPart
