- - ### Method Detail

    - #### init

          void init(javax.sql.DataSource dataSource)
             throws java.lang.Exception

      Initialize the query provider using the provided `DataSource` if necessary.
      Parameters:
        `dataSource` - DataSource to use for any initialization
      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception`

    - #### generateFirstPageQuery

          java.lang.String generateFirstPageQuery(int pageSize)

      Generate the query that will provide the first page, limited by the page size.
      Parameters:
        `pageSize` - number of rows to read for each page
      Returns:
        the generated query

    - #### generateRemainingPagesQuery

          java.lang.String generateRemainingPagesQuery(int pageSize)

      Generate the query that will provide the first page, limited by the page size.
      Parameters:
        `pageSize` - number of rows to read for each page
      Returns:
        the generated query

    - #### generateJumpToItemQuery

          java.lang.String generateJumpToItemQuery(int itemIndex,
                                                   int pageSize)

      Generate the query that will provide the jump to item query. The itemIndex provided could be in the middle of the page and together with the page size it will be used to calculate the last index of the preceding page to be able to retrieve the sort key for this row.
      Parameters:
        `itemIndex` - the index for the next item to be read
        `pageSize` - number of rows to read for each page
      Returns:
        the generated query

    - #### getParameterCount

          int getParameterCount()

      The number of parameters that are declared in the query
      Returns:
        number of parameters

    - #### isUsingNamedParameters

          boolean isUsingNamedParameters()

      Indicate whether the generated queries use named parameter syntax.
      Returns:
        true if named parameter syntax is used

    - #### getSortKeys

          java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Order> getSortKeys()

      The sort keys. A Map of the columns that make up the key and a Boolean indicating ascending or descending (ascending = true).
      Returns:
        the sort keys used to order the query

    - #### getSortKeyPlaceHolder

          java.lang.String getSortKeyPlaceHolder(java.lang.String keyName)

      Returns either a String to be used as the named placeholder for a sort key value (based on the column name) or a ? for unnamed parameters.
      Parameters:
        `keyName` - The sort key name
      Returns:
        The string to be used for a parameterized query.

    - #### getSortKeysWithoutAliases

          java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Order> getSortKeysWithoutAliases()

      The sort key (unique single column name) without alias.
      Returns:
        the sort key used to order the query (without alias)
