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.
