SQL::Statement::Operation - base class for all operation terms
# create an operation with an SQL::Statement object as owner, specifying
# the operation name (for error purposes), the left and the right
# operand
my $term = SQL::Statement::Operation->new( $owner, $op, $left, $right );
# access the result of that operation
$term->value( $eval );
SQL::Statement::Operation is an abstract base class providing the interface for
all operation terms.
SQL::Statement::Operation
ISA SQL::Statement::Term
Instantiates new operation term.
Return the result of the operation of the term by calling operate
Abstract method which will do the operation of the term. Must be
overridden by derived classes.
Returns the name of the executed operation.
Returns the left operand (if any).
Returns the right operand (if any).
Destroys the term and undefines the weak reference to the owner as well as the
stored operation, the left and the right operand.
SQL::Statement::Operation::Neg - negate operation
# create an <not> operation with an SQL::Statement object as owner,
# specifying the operation name, the left and B<no> right operand

$term->value( $eval );
SQL::Statement::Operation::ANSI::Is supports: "IS
NULL", "IS TRUE" and

term is not defined, false otherwise.

ISA SQL::Statement::Operation
ISA SQL::Statement::Term
Returns true when the left term is null, true or false - based on the requested
