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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
