# Interface JoinRowSet

All Superinterfaces:
  `AutoCloseable, CachedRowSet, Joinable, ResultSet, RowSet, WebRowSet, Wrapper`

public interface JoinRowSet extends WebRowSet
The `JoinRowSet` interface provides a mechanism for combining related data from different `RowSet` objects into one `JoinRowSet` object, which represents an SQL `JOIN`. In other words, a `JoinRowSet` object acts as a container for the data from `RowSet` objects that form an SQL `JOIN` relationship.

The `Joinable` interface provides the methods for setting, retrieving, and unsetting a match column, the basis for establishing an SQL `JOIN` relationship. The match column may alternatively be set by supplying it to the appropriate version of the `JointRowSet` method `addRowSet`.

## 1.0 Overview

Disconnected `RowSet` objects (`CachedRowSet` objects and implementations extending the `CachedRowSet` interface) do not have a standard way to establish an SQL `JOIN` between `RowSet` objects without the expensive operation of reconnecting to the data source. The `JoinRowSet` interface is specifically designed to address this need.

Any `RowSet` object can be added to a `JoinRowSet` object to become part of an SQL `JOIN` relationship. This means that both connected and disconnected `RowSet` objects can be part of a `JOIN`. `RowSet` objects operating in a connected environment (`JdbcRowSet` objects) are encouraged to use the database to which they are already connected to establish SQL `JOIN` relationships between tables directly. However, it is possible for a `JdbcRowSet` object to be added to a `JoinRowSet` object if necessary.

Any number of `RowSet` objects can be added to an instance of `JoinRowSet` provided that they can be related in an SQL `JOIN`. By definition, the SQL `JOIN` statement is used to combine the data contained in two or more relational database tables based upon a common attribute. The `Joinable` interface provides the methods for establishing a common attribute, which is done by setting a match column. The match column commonly coincides with the primary key, but there is no requirement that the match column be the same as the primary key. By establishing and then enforcing column matches, a `JoinRowSet` object establishes `JOIN` relationships between `RowSet` objects without the assistance of an available relational database.

The type of `JOIN` to be established is determined by setting one of the `JoinRowSet` constants using the method `setJoinType`. The following SQL `JOIN` types can be set:

- `CROSS_JOIN`
- `FULL_JOIN`
- `INNER_JOIN` - the default if no `JOIN` type has been set
- `LEFT_OUTER_JOIN`
- `RIGHT_OUTER_JOIN`

Note that if no type is set, the `JOIN` will automatically be an inner join. The comments for the fields in the `JoinRowSet` interface explain these `JOIN` types, which are standard SQL `JOIN` types.

## 2.0 Using a `JoinRowSet` Object for Creating a `JOIN`

When a `JoinRowSet` object is created, it is empty. The first `RowSet` object to be added becomes the basis for the `JOIN` relationship. Applications must determine which column in each of the `RowSet` objects to be added to the `JoinRowSet` object should be the match column. All of the `RowSet` objects must contain a match column, and the values in each match column must be ones that can be compared to values in the other match columns. The columns do not have to have the same name, though they often do, and they do not have to store the exact same data type as long as the data types can be compared.

A match column can be set in two ways:

- By calling the `Joinable` method `setMatchColumn`
  This is the only method that can set the match column before a `RowSet` object is added to a `JoinRowSet` object. The `RowSet` object must have implemented the `Joinable` interface in order to use the method `setMatchColumn`. Once the match column value has been set, this method can be used to reset the match column at any time.
- By calling one of the versions of the `JoinRowSet` method `addRowSet` that takes a column name or number (or an array of column names or numbers)
  Four of the five `addRowSet` methods take a match column as a parameter. These four methods set or reset the match column at the time a `RowSet` object is being added to a `JoinRowSet` object.

## 3.0 Sample Usage

The following code fragment adds two `CachedRowSet` objects to a `JoinRowSet` object. Note that in this example, no SQL `JOIN` type is set, so the default `JOIN` type, which is INNER_JOIN, is established.

In the following code fragment, the table `EMPLOYEES`, whose match column is set to the first column (`EMP_ID`), is added to the `JoinRowSet` object jrs. Then the table `ESSP_BONUS_PLAN`, whose match column is likewise the `EMP_ID` column, is added. When this second table is added to jrs, only the rows in `ESSP_BONUS_PLAN` whose `EMP_ID` value matches an `EMP_ID` value in the `EMPLOYEES` table are added. In this case, everyone in the bonus plan is an employee, so all of the rows in the table `ESSP_BONUS_PLAN` are added to the `JoinRowSet` object. In this example, both `CachedRowSet` objects being added have implemented the `Joinable` interface and can therefore call the `Joinable` method `setMatchColumn`.

        JoinRowSet jrs = new JoinRowSetImpl();

        ResultSet rs1 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES");
        CachedRowSet empl = new CachedRowSetImpl();
        empl.populate(rs1);
        empl.setMatchColumn(1);
        jrs.addRowSet(empl);

        ResultSet rs2 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM ESSP_BONUS_PLAN");
        CachedRowSet bonus = new CachedRowSetImpl();
        bonus.populate(rs2);
        bonus.setMatchColumn(1); // EMP_ID is the first column
        jrs.addRowSet(bonus);

At this point, jrs is an inside JOIN of the two `RowSet` objects based on their `EMP_ID` columns. The application can now browse the combined data as if it were browsing one single `RowSet` object. Because jrs is itself a `RowSet` object, an application can navigate or modify it using `RowSet` methods.

        jrs.first();
        int employeeID = jrs.getInt(1);
        String employeeName = jrs.getString(2);

Note that because the SQL `JOIN` must be enforced when an application adds a second or subsequent `RowSet` object, there may be an initial degradation in performance while the `JOIN` is being performed.

The following code fragment adds an additional `CachedRowSet` object. In this case, the match column (`EMP_ID`) is set when the `CachedRowSet` object is added to the `JoinRowSet` object.

        ResultSet rs3 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM 401K_CONTRIB");
        CachedRowSet fourO1k = new CachedRowSetImpl();
        four01k.populate(rs3);
        jrs.addRowSet(four01k, 1);

The `JoinRowSet` object jrs now contains values from all three tables. The data in each row in four01k in which the value for the `EMP_ID` column matches a value for the `EMP_ID` column in jrs has been added to jrs.

## 4.0 `JoinRowSet` Methods

The `JoinRowSet` interface supplies several methods for adding `RowSet` objects and for getting information about the `JoinRowSet` object.

- Methods for adding one or more `RowSet` objects
  These methods allow an application to add one `RowSet` object at a time or to add multiple `RowSet` objects at one time. In either case, the methods may specify the match column for each `RowSet` object being added.
- Methods for getting information
  One method retrieves the `RowSet` objects in the `JoinRowSet` object, and another method retrieves the `RowSet` names. A third method retrieves either the SQL `WHERE` clause used behind the scenes to form the `JOIN` or a text description of what the `WHERE` clause does.
- Methods related to the type of `JOIN`
  One method sets the `JOIN` type, and five methods find out whether the `JoinRowSet` object supports a given type.
- A method to make a separate copy of the `JoinRowSet` object
  This method creates a copy that can be persisted to the data source.

    If any updates or modifications have been applied to the JoinRowSet the CachedRowSet returned by the method will not be able to persist it's changes back to the originating rows and tables in the in the datasource. The CachedRowSet instance returned should not contain modification data and it should clear all properties of it's originating SQL statement. An application should reset the SQL statement using the `RowSet.setCommand` method.

    In order to allow changes to be persisted back to the datasource to the originating tables, the `acceptChanges` method should be used and called on a JoinRowSet object instance. Implementations can leverage the internal data and update tracking in their implementations to interact with the SyncProvider to persist any changes.
