Instead of setting an error in the execution context, we can directly
return that error or the successful value. This lets all callers, who
were already TRY-capable, simply TRY the expression evaluation.
The result of a SQL statement execution is either:
1. An error.
2. The list of rows inserted, deleted, selected, etc.
(2) is currently represented by a combination of the Result class and
the ResultSet list it holds. This worked okay, but issues start to
arise when trying to use Result in non-statement contexts (for example,
when introducing Result to SQL expression execution).
What we really need is for Result to be a thin wrapper that represents
both (1) and (2), and to not have any explicit members like a ResultSet.
So this commit removes ResultSet from Result, and introduces ResultOr,
which is just an alias for AK::ErrorOrr. Statement execution now returns
ResultOr<ResultSet> instead of Result. This further opens the door for
expression execution to return ResultOr<Value> in the future.
Lastly, this moves some other context held by Result over to ResultSet.
This includes the row count (which is really just the size of ResultSet)
and the command for which the result is for.
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.
Apologies for the enormous commit, but I don't see a way to split this
up nicely. In the vast majority of cases it's a simple change. A few
extra places can use TRY instead of manual error checking though. :^)
The implementation of LIKE uses regexes under the hood, and this
implementation of REGEXP takes the same approach. It employs
PosixExtended from LibRegex with case insensitive and Unicode flags
set. The implementation of LIKE is based on SQLlite specs, but SQLlite
does not offer directions for a built-in regex functionality, so this
one uses LibRegex.
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.
This change unfortunately cannot be atomically made without a single
commit changing everything.
Most of the important changes are in LibIPC/Connection.cpp,
LibIPC/ServerConnection.cpp and LibCore/LocalServer.cpp.
The notable changes are:
- IPCCompiler now generates the decode and decode_message functions such
that they take a Core::Stream::LocalSocket instead of the socket fd.
- IPC::Decoder now uses the receive_fd method of LocalSocket instead of
doing system calls directly on the fd.
- IPC::ConnectionBase and related classes now use the Stream API
functions.
- IPC::ServerConnection no longer constructs the socket itself; instead,
a convenience macro, IPC_CLIENT_CONNECTION, is used in place of
C_OBJECT and will generate a static try_create factory function for
the ServerConnection subclass. The subclass is now responsible for
passing the socket constructed in this function to its
ServerConnection base; the socket is passed as the first argument to
the constructor (as a NonnullOwnPtr<Core::Stream::LocalServer>) before
any other arguments.
- The functionality regarding taking over sockets from SystemServer has
been moved to LibIPC/SystemServerTakeover.cpp. The Core::LocalSocket
implementation of this functionality hasn't been deleted due to my
intention of removing this class in the near future and to reduce
noise on this (already quite noisy) PR.
The evaluation order of method parameters is unspecified in C++, and
so we couldn't rely on parse_statement() being called before
parse_escape() when building a MatchExpression.
With this patch, we explicitly parse what we need in the right order,
before building the MatchExpression object.
This option is already enabled when building Lagom, so let's enable it
for the main build too. We will no longer be surprised by Lagom Clang
CI builds failing while everything compiles locally.
Furthermore, the stronger `-Wsuggest-override` warning is enabled in
this commit, which enforces the use of the `override` keyword in all
classes, not just those which already have some methods marked as
`override`. This works with both GCC and Clang.
Fixes a crash that was caused by a syntax error which is difficult to
catch by the parser: usually identifiers are accepted in column lists,
but they are not in a list of column values to be inserted in an INSERT.
Fixed this by putting in a heuristic check; we probably need a better
way to do this.
Included tests for this case.
Also introduced a new SQL Error code, `NotYetImplemented`, and return
that instead of crashing when encountering unimplemented SQL.
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.
Same as Vector, ByteBuffer now also signals allocation failure by
returning an ENOMEM Error instead of a bool, allowing us to use the
TRY() and MUST() patterns.
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.
Because SQL is the craptastic language that it is, sometimes expressions
need to know details about the calling statement. For example the tables
in the 'FROM' clause may be needed to determine which columns are
referenced in 'WHERE' expressions. So the current statement is added
to the ExecutionContext and a new 'execute' overload on Statement is
created which takes the Database and the Statement and builds an
ExecutionContaxt from those.
These are needed to distinguish columns from different tables with the
same column name in one and the same (joined) Tuple. Not quite happy
yet with this API; I think some sort of hierarchical structure would be
better but we'll burn that bridge when we get there :^)
Derivatives of Core::Object should be constructed through
ClassName::construct(), to avoid handling ref-counted objects with
refcount zero. Fixing the visibility means that misuses like this are
more difficult.
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.
Filters matching rows by doing a table scan and evaluating the `WHERE`
expression for every row.
Does not use indexes, for one because they do not exist yet.
Mostly just calls the appropriate methods on the Value objects.
Exception are the `Concatenate` (string concat), and the logical `and`
and `or` operators which are implemented directly in
`BinaryOperatorExpression::evaluate`
The behaviour of the various operators is supposed to mimic that of
the same operators in PostgreSQL; the '+' operator for example will
successfully add '98' (string) and 2 (integer), but not 'foo' and 2.
Also removed some redundant const& parameter declarations for
intrinsic types (ints and doubles etc). Passing those by const& doesn't
make a lot of sense.
Previously, class SQL::Key
depends on def class SQL::IndexDef (because inline def index())
depends on def class SQL::KeyPartDef (inline def key_definition())
depends on def class SQL::ColumnDef (because base class)
depends on def class SQL::Relation (because base class)
depends on def class SQL::Key (because inline def hash()).
This hasn't caused any problems so far because Meta.h happened to be
always included after Key.h (in part due to alphabetical ordering).
However, a compilation that for example only contains
#include <Userland/Libraries/LibSQL/Key.h>
would fail to compile.
This patch resolves this issue by pushing the inline definition of
SQL::Relation::hash() into a different file. Yes, this might reduce
performance marginally, but this gets it to compile again.
Up to now the only ``SELECT`` statement that worked was ``SELECT *
FROM <table>``. This commit allows a column list consisting of
column names and expressions in addition to ``*``. ``WHERE``
still doesn't work though.
The database the sql client connected to was 'hardcoded' to the login
name of the calling user.
- Extended the IPC API to be more expressive when connecting, by
returning the name of the database the client connected to in the
'connected' callback.
- Gave the sql client a command line argument (-d/--database) allowing
an alternative database name to be specified
A subsequent commit will have a dot command allowing the user to
connect to different databases from the same sql session.
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, ...), ...
Our existing implementation did not check the element type of the other
pointer in the constructors and move assignment operators. This meant
that some operations that would require explicit casting on raw pointers
were done implicitly, such as:
- downcasting a base class to a derived class (e.g. `Kernel::Inode` =>
`Kernel::ProcFSDirectoryInode` in Kernel/ProcFS.cpp),
- casting to an unrelated type (e.g. `Promise<bool>` => `Promise<Empty>`
in LibIMAP/Client.cpp)
This, of course, allows gross violations of the type system, and makes
the need to type-check less obvious before downcasting. Luckily, while
adding the `static_ptr_cast`s, only two truly incorrect usages were
found; in the other instances, our casts just needed to be made
explicit.
