Class RexInputRef

Direct Known Subclasses:
RexPatternFieldRef, RexTableInputRef

public class RexInputRef extends RexSlot
Variable which references a field of an input relational expression.

Fields of the input are 0-based. If there is more than one input, they are numbered consecutively. For example, if the inputs to a join are

  • Input #0: EMP(EMPNO, ENAME, DEPTNO) and
  • Input #1: DEPT(DEPTNO AS DEPTNO2, DNAME)

then the fields are:

  • Field #0: EMPNO
  • Field #1: ENAME
  • Field #2: DEPTNO (from EMP)
  • Field #3: DEPTNO2 (from DEPT)
  • Field #4: DNAME

So RexInputRef(3, Integer) is the correct reference for the field DEPTNO2.
