public interface Formattable
A type that can format its contents.

This type provides a common interface for Result and Cursor formatting functionality, which includes formatting results to:

  • Charts
  • CSV
  • HTML
  • INSERT statements
  • JSON
  • Text
  • XML

Calling formatting methods on a Result is repeatable as the Result has been previously materialised in memory and the database resource is closed. Calling these methods on a Cursor is not repeatable as the Cursor (and the underlying JDBC ResultSet) is consumed entirely, and closed eagerly after consumption.

      It is possible to specify a variety of ChartFormat formatting specifications, such as the width, height, display type (default, stacked, 100% stacked), the column index of the category and value columns, etc.

    • formatInsert

      @NotNull @NotNull String formatInsert()
      Get this result as a set of INSERT statements.

      This uses the the first record's TableRecord.getTable(), if the first record is a TableRecord. Otherwise, this generates INSERT statements into an "UNKNOWN_TABLE". In both cases, the Fields.fields() are used for column names.

    • formatInsert

      @NotNull @NotNull String formatInsert(Table<?> table, Field<?>... fields)
      Get this result as a set of INSERT statements.

      This explicitly specifies the table (and optionally the fields) to insert into. If the fields argument is left empty, the Fields.fields() are used, instead.
