SQL Grammar for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Connection Modes

The JDBC drivers implement JD Edwards EnterpriseOne connection modes using JDBj, which is a Java data access API. The JDBC drivers parse SQL statements and transforms them into JDBj operations.

In general, the JDBC driver using the EnterpriseOne connection accepts only SELECT statements. All other operations, such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP, and CREATE statements are not supported. If the driver cannot parse the SQL statement, then the JDBC driver throws an SQLException with a message that explains the parsing error.

The following table describes the SQL grammar that the parser recognizes. In this table, SQL keywords are in bold font (SELECT.) SQL keywords are not case sensitive. Rule names are listed in italics (where-clause.) Terminal symbols are noted. Optional clauses are listed in square brackets (,[ order-by-clause ].) Clauses that may repeat 0 or more times are listed in parenthesis followed by an asterisk (( , database-object-with-alias )*.) A vertical bar indicates that one of a set of options is valid (* | fields).

Rule

Definition

select-statement

SELECT fields-clause FROM database-objects [ where-clause ] [group-by-clause ] [ order-by-clause ]

subquery-clause

SELECT fields-clause FROM database-object-with-alias [ where-clause ] [ group-by-clause ]

database-objects

database-object-with-alias ( , database-object-with-alias )*

database-object-with-alias

database-object [ ID ]

Note: ID is a terminal symbol.

database-object

ID

Note: ID is a terminal symbol.

Database object names are table and business view names. Do not qualify these with an owner or schema. The JDBC driver uses its own data source resolution mechanisms (such as an ERP system's OCM) to resolve database object name qualifiers. However, if you require a schema to satisfy some third-party software requirements, you qualify the table or business view names with JDE as the schema. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne does not have a schema or catalog concept and this qualification is ignored at runtime.

fields-clause

*|fields| field-function-expressions

fields

field ( , field )* |field AS alias ( , field AS alias)*

field

database-object [ . ID [ . field-instance ]]

Note: ID is a terminal symbol.

Field names are in the format database-object.field.instance, where database-object and instance are optional. Field names match data dictionary names rather than physical column names. For example, use AN8 (the data dictionary name for address book number) rather than ABAN8 (the physical F0101 column name). Instance is an integer that refers to the instance of a particular field when used in a self-join.

field-instance

INTEGER_LITERAL

Note: INTEGER_LITERAL is a terminal symbol.

field-function-expressions

field-function-expression ( , field-function-expression )* | field-function-expression AS alias( , field-function-expression AS alias )*

field-function-expression

type1-field-function-expression
