```
public SqlIdentifier getReferenceName()
```

  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Description copied from interface: Segment
    
    Return a SQL string representation of this Segment.
    The representation is intended for debugging purposes and an approximation to the generated SQL. While it might work in the context of a specific dialect, you should not that the Segment.toString() representation works across multiple databases.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface Segment
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a SQL string representation of this Segment.
  - visit
```
public void visit(Visitor visitor)
```
    Description copied from interface: Visitable
    
    Accept a Visitor visiting this Visitable and its nested Visitables if applicable.
    
    Specified by:
    
    visit in interface Visitable
    
    Parameters:
    
    visitor - the visitor to notify, must not be null.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from interface: Segment
    
    Generate a hash code from thisSegment.
    Hashcode typically derives from the Segment.toString() representation so two Segments yield the same Segment.hashCode() if their Segment.toString() representation matches.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Segment
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash code value for this object.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Description copied from interface: Segment
    
    Check whether this Segment is equal to another Segment.
    Equality is typically given if the Segment.toString() representation matches.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Segment
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the reference object with which to compare.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this object is the same as the other argument; false otherwise.
