Class Pql

java.lang.Object

com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.utils.v201405.Pql

public final class Pql
extends Object

A utility class for handling PQL objects. A typical use case is to combine result sets from the PublisherQueryLanguageService to then create a CSV such as:

 
 ResultSet combinedResultSet = null
 do {
   ResultSet resultSet = pqlService.select(pagedStatement);
   combinedResultSet = (combinedResultSet == null) ? resultSet :
       Pql.combineResultSet(combinedResultSet, resultSet);
   // ...
 } while(!finishedCollectingResultSets)
 //...
 CsvFiles.writeCsv(Pql.resultSetToStringArrayList(combinedResultSet), filePath);

Method Detail

createValue

public static com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.Value createValue(Object value)

Creates a Value from the value i.e. a TextValue for a value of type String, BooleanValue for type Boolean, NumberValue for type Double, Long, or Integer, DateTimeValue for type DateTime, and DateValue for type Date. If the value is a Value, the value is returned. If the value is null, an empty TextValue is returned.

Parameters:

value - the value to convert

Returns:

the constructed value of the appropriate type

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if value cannot be converted

toString

public static String toString(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.Value value)

Creates a String from the Value. Date and DateTime values are converted using the rules of DateTimes.toString(Date) and DateTimes.toStringWithTimeZone(DateTime) respectively.

Parameters:

value - the value to convert

Returns:

the string representation of the value or an empty string for null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if value cannot be converted

getApiValue

public static Object getApiValue(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.Value value)

Gets the underlying value of the Value object that's comparable to what would be returned in any other API object (i.e. DateTimeValue will return an API DateTime, not a Joda DateTime).

Parameters:

value - the value to convert

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if value cannot be converted

getNativeValue

public static Object getNativeValue(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.Value value)

Gets the underlying value of the Value object that's considered native to Java (i.e. DateTimeValue will return a Joda DateTime, not an API DateTime and DateValue will return a string in the form of "yyyy-MM-dd").

Parameters:

value - the value to convert

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if value cannot be converted

getCsvValue

public static Object getCsvValue(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.Value value)

Gets the underlying value of the Value object that should be used for CSV conversion (i.e. DateTimeValue will return a String representation, but NumberValue will return a Long or Double).

Parameters:

value - the value to convert

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if value cannot be converted

resultSetToStringArrayList

public static List<String[]> resultSetToStringArrayList(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.ResultSet resultSet)

Gets the result set as list of string arrays, which can be transformed to a CSV using CsvFiles such as

 
 ResultSet combinedResultSet = Pql.combineResultSet(resultSet1, resultSet2);
 //...
 combinedResultSet = Pql.combineResultSet(combinedResultSet, resultSet3);
 CsvFiles.writeCsv(Pql.resultSetToStringArrayList(combinedResultSet), filePath);
 
 

Parameters:

resultSet - the result set to convert to a CSV compatible format

Returns:

a list of string arrays representing the result set

resultSetToString

public static String resultSetToString(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.ResultSet resultSet)
                                throws IllegalAccessException

Gets the result set as a table representation in the form of:

 +-------+-------+-------+
 |column1|column2|column3|
 +-------+-------+-------+
 |value1 |value2 |value3 |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 |value1 |value2 |value3 |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 

Parameters:

resultSet - the result set to display as a string

Returns:

the string representation of result set as a table

Throws:

IllegalAccessException - if the values of the result set cannot be accessed

getColumnLabels

public static List<String> getColumnLabels(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.ResultSet resultSet)

Gets the column labels for the result set.

Parameters:

resultSet - the result set to get the column labels for

Returns:

the string list of column labels

getRowStringValues

public static List<String> getRowStringValues(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.Row row)

Gets the values in a row of the result set in the form of a string list.

Parameters:

row - the row to get the values for

Returns:

the string list of the row values

combineResultSets

public static com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.ResultSet combineResultSets(com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.ResultSet first,
                                                              com.google.api.ads.dfp.axis.v201405.ResultSet second)

Combines the first and second result sets, if and only if, the columns of both result sets match.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the columns of the first result set don't match the second
