SqlFeature (SQL Processor, Core Module 3.3.5 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<SqlFeature>
- - org.sqlproc.engine.SqlFeature

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<SqlFeature>
```
public enum SqlFeature
extends Enum<SqlFeature>
```
The optional features are used to alter the behavior of the SQL Processor. They can be activated in the process of SQL Processor initialization.
The features can be incorporated into the meta statements file in the form of name(OPT)=...;.
For example the SQL Processor supports the special searching feature based on text fragments. Lets have a table PERSON with two columns - ID and NAME.
In the meta statements file statements.qry there's the next definition:
```
 LIKE_STRING(OPT)=like;
 WILDCARD_CHARACTER(OPT)=%;
 SURROUND_QUERY_LIKE_FULL(BOPT)=true;
 SURROUND_QUERY_MIN_LEN(IOPT)=2;
 
 LIKE_PEOPLE(QRY)=
   select p.ID @id, p.NAME @name
   from PERSON p
   {= where
    {& id=:id}
    {& UPPER(name) like :+name}
   }
   {#1 order by ID}
   {#2 order by NAME}
 ;
 
```
The special searching capability is activated with the key SURROUND_QUERY_LIKE(BOPT)=true. In this case every query with the like keyword (defined with the key LIKE_STRING) is identified and any dynamic input value, which belongs to this query condition, is handled in a special way. The value for this input value is surrounded with wild-card character %. This character is defined with the key WILDCARD_CHARACTER. In the runtime to activate this feature, the input value has to have the minimal length = 2. This minimal length is defined with the key SURROUND_QUERY_MIN_LEN. In the case of SQL Processor initialization
```
 JdbcEngineFactory sqlFactory = new JdbcEngineFactory();
 sqlFactory.setMetaFilesNames("statements.qry"); // the meta statements file
 SqlEngine sqlEngine = sqlFactory.getSqlEngine("LIKE_PEOPLE");
 
 // for the case it runs on the top of the JDBC stack
 Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:mem:sqlproc", "sa", "");
 SqlSession session = new JdbcSimpleSession(connection);
 
```
there's created an instance of SqlEngine with the name LIKE_PEOPLE.
Next there's an instance person of the class Person with the value an for the attribute name. The invocation
```
 Person person = new Person();
 person.setName("jan");
 List<Person> list = sqlEngine.query(session, Person.class, person, SqlOrder.getDescOrder(2));
 
```
produces the next SQL execution
```
 select p.ID id, p.NAME name from PERSON p where UPPER(name) like ? order by NAME DESC
 
```
In the result list there are all table rows with name, which contains the text fragment jan.

```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
