asSQL

public java.lang.String asSQL(java.lang.String word)

Description copied from class: Strategy

Support for SQL. If this strategy has support for SQL it should return a SQL expression to compare word against any other word in the dictionary; e.g.: for the strategy "prefix" it may return "UPPER(WORD) LIKE UPPER(word)||'%'", being the first word the column name of the table in the database and the second word the word to be searched.
If it returns null, then if getMatches(String, String, Statement) gets called it will throw UnsupportedException.
