[jira] [Commented] (JDO-650) Support for conditional operator ? : in JDOQL

["Craig L Russell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-650?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14059006#comment-14059006 ] 

Craig L Russell commented on JDO-650:
-------------------------------------

For my money, the following is pretty clear:
salary < 100 ? "bronze" : ( salary < 1000 ? "silver" : ( salary < 10000 ? "gold" : "platinum" ))

My issue with the other proposals is that they are pretty far away from Java...

> JDOQL should support the Java conditional operator ? :, e.g. salay >= 1000.0 ? salary : salary * 1.1
> The conditional operator can be mapped to the CASE-expression in SQL: CASE WHEN condition THEN thenExpr ELSE elseExpr END. Are there any issues with non-SQL datastores when supporting the conditional operator? 
> Another question: which part of a JDOQL query can include a conditional expression? I propose the query filter, the having clause and the result specification.
