The existing SQLResult class predates our TRY semantics. As a result, in
the AST execution methods, there is a lot of is_error checking on values
that could instead be wrapped with TRY. This new class will allow such
semantics, and is also stack allocated (no need to be a RefPtr). It is
heavily based on LibJS's completion class.
This statement (for now) outputs the name and types of the different
attributes in a table. It's not standard SQL but all DBMSs that I know
of implement a sort of statement for such functionality.
Since the output of DESCRIBE TABLE is just a relation, an internal
schema, `master` was created and a table definition for DESCRIBE into
it. The table definition and the master schema are not accessible by the
user.
Ordering is done by replacing the straight Vector holding the query
result in the SQLResult object with a dedicated Vector subclass that
inserts result rows according to their sort key using a binary search.
This is done in the ResultSet class.
There are limitations:
- "SELECT ... ORDER BY 1" (or 2 or 3 etc) is supposed to sort by the
n-th result column. This doesn't work yet
- "SELECT ... column-expression alias ... ORDER BY alias" is supposed to
sort by the column with the given alias. This doesn't work yet
What does work however is something like
```SELECT foo FROM bar SORT BY quux```
i.e. sorted by a column not in the result set. Once functions are
supported it should be possible to sort by random functions.
The handling of filesystem level errors was basically non-existing or
consisting of `VERIFY_NOT_REACHED` assertions. Addressed this by
* Adding `open` methods to `Heap` and `Database` which return errors.
* Changing the interface of methods of these classes and clients
downstream to propagate these errors.
The constructors of `Heap` and `Database` don't open the underlying
filesystem file anymore.
The SQL statement handlers return an `SQLErrorCode::InternalError`
error code if an error comes back from the lower levels. Note that some
of these errors are things like duplicate index entry errors that should
be caught before the SQL layer attempts to actually update the database.
Added tests to catch attempts to open weird or non-existent files as
databases.
Finally, in between me writing this patch and submitting the PR the
AK::Result<Foo, Bar> template got deprecated in favour of ErrorOr<Foo>.
This resulted in more busywork.
This patch introduces table joins. It uses a pretty dumb algorithm-
starting with a singleton '__unity__' row consisting of a single boolean
value, a cartesian product of all tables in the 'FROM' clause is built.
This cartesian product is then filtered through the 'WHERE' clause,
again without any smarts just using brute force.
This patch required a bunch of busy work to allow for example the
ColumnNameExpression having to deal with multiple tables potentially
having columns with the same name.
There was a lot of `VERIFY_NOT_REACHED` error handling going on. Fixed
most of those.
A bit of a caveat is that after every `evaluate` call for expressions
that are part of a statement the error status of the `SQLResult` return
value must be called.
Data types are now checked against the table data types. When multiple
rows are inserted at once, we check all rows to be matching W.R.T data
types. Only then we insert the rows.
This adds the ability to parse SQL INSERT statements in the following
form:
INSERT INTO schema.tablename VALUES (column1, column2, ...),
(column1, column2, ...), ...
This patch provides very basic, bare bones implementations of the
INSERT and SELECT statements. They are *very* limited:
- The only variant of the INSERT statement that currently works is
SELECT INTO schema.table (column1, column2, ....) VALUES
(value11, value21, ...), (value12, value22, ...), ...
where the values are literals.
- The SELECT statement is even more limited, and is only provided to
allow verification of the INSERT statement. The only form implemented
is: SELECT * FROM schema.table
These statements required a bit of change in the Statement::execute
API. Originally execute only received a Database object as parameter.
This is not enough; we now pass an ExecutionContext object which
contains the Database, the current result set, and the last Tuple read
from the database. This object will undoubtedly evolve over time.
This API change dragged SQLServer::SQLStatement into the patch.
Another API addition is Expression::evaluate. This method is,
unsurprisingly, used to evaluate expressions, like the values in the
INSERT statement.
Finally, a new test file is added: TestSqlStatementExecution, which
tests the currently implemented statements. As the number and flavour of
implemented statements grows, this test file will probably have to be
restructured.
This patch introduces the SQLServer system server. This service is
supposed to be the only process/application talking to database storage.
This makes things like locking and caching more reliable, easier to
implement, and more efficient.
In LibSQL we added a client component that does the ugly IPC nitty-
gritty for you. All that's needed is setting a number of event handler
lambdas and you can connect to databases and execute statements on them.
Applications that wish to use this SQLClient class obviously need to
link LibSQL and LibIPC.
The Order enum is used in the Meta component of LibSQL. Using this enum
meant having to include the monster AST/AST.h include file. Furthermore,
they are sort of basic and therefore can live in the general SQL
namespace. Moved to LibSQL/Type.h.
Also introduced a new class, SQLResult, which is needed in future
patches.
