public class SelectAdapter
extends Object

An abstract representation of a select statement which can be translated into an executable select statement. Keeps track of bind variables (parameter markers) and hopefully is a bit easier to use (and is more reliable) than constructing SQL with StringBuilder. The goal is to support two main use-cases (which drive the API design):

• 1. Simplify construction of hand-written SQL statements
• 2. Support code-generated SQL where a statement is constructed from another model (e.g. FHIR search queries).

The goal isn't to enforce building a syntactically perfect SQL statement - checking that is the role of the RDBMS SQL parser. But hopefully this makes things a bit easier, less error-prone and therefore quicker. It also helps to standardize the SQL statement building process across the project.
