Supported Keywords

Query Language Keyword Description Example
AND Logical operator used to create complex expressions by combining two or more expressions to produce a Boolean result. When you combine two conditional expressions using the AND operator, both conditions must evaluate to true for the entire expression to be true. See Operators
AS Used to provide a label for a path expression so you can refer to the path by the label later. See Aliases and Synonyms
COUNT Returns the number of results that match the provided criteria. See COUNT
DISTINCT Restricts the select statement to unique results (eliminates duplicates). See DISTINCT
ELEMENT Query function. Extracts a single element from a collection or array. This function throws a FunctionDomainException if the argument is not a collection or array with exactly one element. See Preset Query Functions
FROM You can access any object or object attribute that is available in the current scope of the query. See FROM Clause
<HINT> Keyword that instructs the query engine to prefer certain indexes. See Using Query Index Hints
IMPORT Used to establish the namescope for objects. See IMPORT Statement
IN The IN expression is a Boolean indicating whether one expression is present inside a collection of expressions of a compatible type. See IN and SET
IS_DEFINED Query function. Returns TRUE if the expression does not evaluate to UNDEFINED. See Preset Query Functions
IS_UNDEFINED Query function. Returns TRUE if the expression evaluates to UNDEFINED. In most queries, undefined values are not included in the query results. The IS_UNDEFINED function allows undefined values to be included, so you can identify element with undefined values. See Preset Query Functions
LIMIT Limits the number of returned results. If you use the limit keyword, you cannot also run operations on the query result set that perform any kind of summary activities. For example trying to run add or addAll or a SelectResult from a query with a LIMIT clause throws an exception. See LIMIT
LIKE LIKE can be used to mean 'equals to', or if you terminate the string with a wildcard character (%), it behaves like 'starts with'. Note that the wildcard can only be used at the end of the comparison string. You can escape the wildcard character to represent the % character. You can also use the LIKE predicate if an index is present. See LIKE
NOT The example returns the set of portfolios that have positions. Note that NOT cannot use an index. See Operators
NVL Returns expr2 if expr1 is null. The expressions can be query parameters (bind arguments), path expressions, or literals. See Preset Query Functions
OR If an expression uses both AND and OR operators, the AND expression has higher precedence than OR. See Operators
ORDER BY Allows you to order query results (either in ascending or descending order). See ORDER BY
SELECT Allows you to filter data from the collection of object(s) returned by a WHERE search operation. See SELECT Statement
SET Specifies a collection of values that can be compared to the returned values of query. See IN and SET
<TRACE> Enables debugging on the following query string. See Query Debugging
TO_DATE Returns a Java Data class object. The arguments must be String S with date_str representing the date and format_str representing the format used by date_str. The format_str you provide is parsed using java.text.SimpleDateFormat. See Preset Query Functions
TYPE Specifying object type in the FROM clause helps the query engine to process the query at optimal speed. See Object Typing
WHERE Resolves to a collection of objects. The collection is then available for iteration in the query expressions that follow in the WHERE clause. See WHERE Clause
