A condition or predicate.

Conditions can be used in a variety of SQL clauses. They're mainly used in a Select statement's WHERE clause, but can also appear in (non-exhaustive list):

Example:

// Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;
using(configuration)
   .select()
   .from(ACTOR)
   .where(ACTOR.ACTOR_ID.eq(1)) // The eq operator produces a Condition from two Fields
   .fetch();

Instances can be created using DSL.condition(Field<Boolean>) and overloads, or by calling a comparison operator method on Field, such as Field.eq(Field).
