* Part 1: define ValueTypeSet.
We're going to use this instead of `HashSet<ValueType>` so that we can clearly express
the empty set and the set of all types, and also to encapsulate a switch to `EnumSet`."
* Part 2: use ValueTypeSet.
* Part 3: fix type expansion.
* Part 4: add a test for type extraction from nested `or`.
* Review comments.
* Review comments: simplify ValueTypeSet.
* Pre: put query parts in alphabetical order.
* Pre: rename 'input' to 'query' in translate tests.
* Part 1: parse :limit.
* Part 2: validate and escape variable parameters in SQL.
* Part 3: algebrize and translate limits.
This adds an `:order` keyword to `:find`.
If present, the results of the query will be an ordered set, rather than
an unordered set; rows will appear in an ordered defined by each
`:order` entry.
Each can be one of three things:
- A var, `?x`, meaning "order by ?x ascending".
- A pair, `(asc ?x)`, meaning "order by ?x ascending".
- A pair, `(desc ?x)`, meaning "order by ?x descending".
Values will be ordered in this sequence for asc, and in reverse for desc:
1. Entity IDs, in ascending numerical order.
2. Booleans, false then true.
3. Timestamps, in ascending numerical order.
4. Longs and doubles, intermixed, in ascending numerical order.
5. Strings, in ascending lexicographic order.
6. Keywords, in ascending lexicographic order, considering the entire
ns/name pair as a single string separated by '/'.
Subcommits:
Pre: make bound_value public.
Pre: generalize ErrorKind::UnboundVariable for use in order.
Part 1: parse (direction, var) pairs.
Part 2: parse :order clause into FindQuery.
Part 3: include order variables in algebrized query.
We add order variables to :with, so we can reuse its type tag projection
logic, and so that we can phrase ordering in terms of variables rather
than datoms columns.
Part 4: produce SQL for order clauses.
* Pre: refactor projector code.
* Part 1: maintain 'with' variables in AlgebrizedQuery.
* Part 2: include necessary 'with' variables in SQL projection list.
The test produces projection elements for `:with`, even though there are
no aggregates in the query. This test will need to be adjusted when we
optimize this away!
This commit:
- Defines a new kind of column, distinct from the eavt columns in
`DatomsColumn`, to model the rows projected from subqueries. These
always name one of two things: a variable, or a variable's type tag.
Naturally the two cases are thus `Variable` and `VariableTypeTag`.
These are cheap to clone, given that `Variable` is an `Rc<String>`.
- Defines `Column` as a wrapper around `DatomsColumn` and
`VariableColumn`. Everywhere we used to use `DatomsColumn` we now
allow `Column`: particularly in constraints and projections.
- Broadens the definition of a table list in the intermediate
"query-sql" representation to include a SQL UNION. A UNION is
represented as a list of queries and an alias.
- Implements translation from a `ComputedTable` to the query-sql
representation. In this commit we only project vars, not type tags.
Review comment: discuss bind_column_to_var for ValueTypeTag.
Review comment: implement From<Vec<T>> for ConsumableVec<T>.
Complex `or`s are translated to SQL as a subquery -- in particular, a
subquery that's a UNION. Conceptually, that subquery is a computed
table: `all_datoms` and `datoms` yield rows of e/a/v/tx, and each
computed table yields rows of variable bindings.
The table itself is a type, `ComputedTable`. Its `Union` case contains
everything a subquery needs: a `ConjoiningClauses` and a projection
list, which together allow us to build a SQL subquery, and a list of
variables that need type code extraction. (This is discussed further in
a later commit.)
Naturally we also need a way to refer to columns in a computed table.
We model this by a new enum case in `DatomsTable`, `Computed`, which
maintains an integer value that uniquely identifies a computed table.
When we started expanding and narrowing type sets, it became impossible
to conclusively know during pattern application whether a type was
known. We now figure that out at the end: if a variable has only a
single known type, we don't need to extract its type tag.
mod.rs defines the module and ConjoiningClauses itself, complete with
methods to record facts and ask it questions.
pattern.rs, predicate.rs, resolve.rs, and or.rs include particular
functionality around accumulating certain kinds of patterns.
Only `or.rs` includes significant new code; the rest is just split.
* Add a failing test for EDN parsing '…'.
* Expose a SQLValueType trait to get value_type_tag values out of a ValueType.
* Add accessors to FindSpec.
* Implement querying.
* Implement rudimentary projection.
* Export mentat_db::new_connection.
* Export symbols from mentat.
* Add rudimentary end-to-end query tests.
