BooleanExpression (DataNucleus RDBMS plugin 5.2.5-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.datanucleus.store.rdbms.sql.expression.SQLExpression
- - org.datanucleus.store.rdbms.sql.expression.BooleanExpression

Direct Known Subclasses:

BooleanLiteral, BooleanSubqueryExpression, CaseBooleanExpression, InExpression
```
public class BooleanExpression
extends SQLExpression
```
Representation of a Boolean expression in a Query. Can be represented in one of the following ways in the datastore
- As String-based, so stored as "Y", "N"
- As numeric-based, so stored as 1, 0
- As boolean-based, so stored as true, false
A boolean expression has "closure" if it represents a boolean SQL expression (i.e "fld == val"). If it doesn't have "closure" then it represents a clause like "booleanFld" or "false" or "true".

```
    Perform an operation
```
op
```
    on expression
```
expr1
```
    . The boolean expression has closure using this constructor.
    Parameters:
    
    op - operator
    
    expr1 - operand
  - BooleanExpression
```
public BooleanExpression(SQLExpression expr1,
                         org.datanucleus.query.expression.Expression.DyadicOperator op,
                         SQLExpression expr2)
```
    Perform an operation
```
op
```
    between
```
expr1
```
    and
```
expr2
```
    . The boolean expression has closure using this constructor.
    Parameters:
    
    expr1 - the first expression
    
    op - the operator between operands
    
    expr2 - the second expression
