Method Detail

getName
```
String getName()
```
The name of the field.
The name is any of these:
- The formal name of the field, if it is a physical table/view field
- The alias of an aliased field
- A generated / unspecified value for any other expression
- The name of a parameter if it is a named Param

getComment
```
String getComment()
```
The comment given to the field.
If this Field is a generated field from your database, it may provide its DDL comment through this method. All other column expressions return the empty string "" here, never null.

getType
```
Class<T> getType()
```
The Java type of the field.

getDataType
```
DataType<T> getDataType()
```
The type of this field (might not be dialect-specific).

getDataType

DataType<T> getDataType(Configuration configuration)

The dialect-specific type of this field.

as
```
@Support
Field<T> as(String alias)
```
Create an alias for this field.
Note that the case-sensitivity of the returned field depends on Settings.getRenderNameStyle(). By default, field aliases are quoted, and thus case-sensitive!

Parameters:
alias - The alias name

Returns:
The field alias

equals
```
boolean equals(Object other)
```
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.
Watch out! This is Object.equals(Object), not a jOOQ DSL feature!

Specified by:

equals in interface QueryPart

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:
other - The other QueryPart

Returns:
Whether the two query parts are equal

cast
```
@Support
<Z> Field<Z> cast(Field<Z> field)
```
Cast this field to the type of another field.
This results in the same as casting this field to DataType.getCastTypeName()

Type Parameters:
Z - The generic type of the cast field
Parameters:
field - The field whose type is used for the cast

Returns:
The cast field
See Also:
cast(DataType)

cast
```
@Support
<Z> Field<Z> cast(DataType<Z> type)
```
Cast this field to a dialect-specific data type.

Type Parameters:
Z - The generic type of the cast field
Parameters:
type - The data type that is used for the cast

Returns:
The cast field

cast
```
@Support
<Z> Field<Z> cast(Class<Z> type)
```
Cast this field to another type.
The actual cast may not be accurate as the DataType has to be "guessed" from the jOOQ-configured data types. Use cast(DataType) for more accurate casts.

Type Parameters:
Z - The generic type of the cast field
Parameters:
type - The type that is used for the cast

Returns:
The cast field
See Also:
cast(DataType)

coerce

@Support
<Z> Field<Z> coerce(Field<Z> field)

Coerce this field to the type of another field.

Unlike with casting, coercing doesn't affect the way the database sees a Field's type. This is how coercing affects your SQL:

Bind values

 // This binds an int value to a JDBC PreparedStatement
 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);

Type Parameters:: Z - The generic type of the coerced field
Parameters:: field - The field whose type is used for the coercion
Returns:: The coerced field
See Also:: coerce(DataType), cast(Field)

contains
```
@Support
Condition contains(T value)
```
Convenience method for 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.
