Property operators

Property operator is a syntax construct that describes an operator creating a property.

Property operators can be divided into context dependent and context independent.

Context dependent operators

Context dependent property operators can be part of expressions and use common parameters (context). These operators are:

• Arithmetic operators
• [] operator
• ACTIVE TAB operator
• AGGR operator
• CASE operator
• CONCAT operator
• EXCLUSIVE operator
• GROUP operator (without BY block)
• IF operator
• IF ... THEN operator
• ISCLASS operator
• JOIN operator
• LIKE operator
• MAX operator
• MIN operator
• MULTI operator
• OVERRIDE operator
• PARTITION operator
• PREV operator
• RECURSION operator
• ROUND operator
• STRUCT operator
• UNGROUP operator
• Type conversion operator
• AND, OR, NOT, XOR operators
• IS, AS operators
• Change operators
• Comparison operators

Context independent operators

Context independent property operators differ from the context dependent ones in that they do not just use the upper parameters but define the parameters themselves. As a result, they cannot be part of expressions and can only be used in the = statement and the JOIN operator:

• DATA operator
• GROUP operator (with BY block)
• FORMULA operator
• ABSTRACT operator
• Object group operators
