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.
