SQL::Statement::TermFactory - phpMan

NAME
    SQL::Statement::TermFactory - Factory for SQL::Statement::Term instances

SYNOPSIS
      my $termFactory = SQL::Statement::TermFactory->new($stmt);
      my $whereTerms = $termFactory->buildCondition( $stmt->{where_clause} );
      my $col = $termFactory->buildCondition( $stmt->{col_obj}->{$name}->{content} );

DESCRIPTION
    This package implements a factory to create type and operation based
    terms. Those terms are used to access data from the table(s) - either
    when evaluating the where clause or returning column data.

    The concept of a factory can be studied in *Design Patterns* by the Gang
    of Four. The concept of using polymorphism instead of conditions is
    suggested by Martin Fowler in his book *Refactoring*.

METHODS
  buildCondition
    Builds a condition object from a given (part of a) where clause. This
    method calls itself recursively for *predicates*.
