55 // <synopsis>
56 // This class provides the user the ability to identify the data objects
57 // to test in a TaQL expression. In this way a TaQL expression is not
58 // limited to tables, but can be used for any set of data.
59 // Three types are available:
60 // <ol>
61 // <li> A row number giving the row to test in a table.
62 // It also contains a sequence number (0..n) which is used to get the
63 // result calculated by aggregate functions.
64 // <li> A <linkto class=RecordInterface>RecordInterface</linkto>
65 // object giving the record to test.
66 // <li> A <linkto class=TableExprData>TableExprData</linkto>
67 // object giving the abstract base class of an object holding
68 // the data to test. In this way any data can be used.
69 // </ol>
70 // The TaQL expression must be setup with this in mind by constructing
71 // the appropriate <linkto class=TableExprNode>TableExprNode</linkto>
72 // leaf objects.
73 // <br>
74 // When used for tables, the function <linkto class=Table>Table::col</linkto>
75 // should be used to create the <src>TableExprNode</src> objects for the
76 // table columns to be used in the expression.
77 // <br>
78 // For the other cases class
79 // <linkto class=TableExprNodeRecordField>TableExprNodeRecordField</linkto>
80 // has to be used to know the index of the fields in the expression.
81 // It uses a record (description) for this purpose.
82 // </synopsis>

84 // <example>
85 // <srcblock>

87 // </example>
88 
89 // <motivation>
90 // This class makes it possible that TaQL can be used in a very versatile way.
