withUniqueIds

ConfigBuilderInterfaces.MultiTableStep3 withUniqueIds()

Tells the query builder that for the same record (ID) there is either exactly one row or no row. In other words, selecting the ID column from this won't return any duplicates (a logical unique constraint).

This setting is vital for negative queries. Let TBL be a table with the columns ID and COLOR and the record for ID=4711 has two rows in it, one for color=red and another for color=blue. If you now make a query COLOR<>'blue' you get a wrong answer. Based on this setting the converter can decide to add an existence check to avoid this problem.

Returns:

builder
