This is a style choice. We supported both, perhaps for Datomic
compliance, but it's not the standard we use in our code base. In
addition, it doesn't read like lisp (which is what EDN is copying),
since [] is not function application in most lisps.
It's also a convenience: I don't want to parse brackets that have to
agree with `rust-peg`. It's not hard but it's also not worth doing.
This uses a `SELECT *` from an inner subselect to filter potentially `NULL` aggregates.
The alternative is to handle `NULL` values throughout the projector, which is simple but loses a valuable invariant: Mentat SQL queries produce values that are not `NULL`.
* Include the namespace-separating solidus in NamespaceableName.
* Use type annotations when deciding how to process ambiguous ground input.
* Include simple patterns in the type extraction phase of pattern application. (#705)
* Review comment.
* Add a test.
* Make properties on NamespacedKeyword/NamespacedSymbol private
* Use only a single String for NamespacedKeyword/NamespacedSymbol
* Review comments.
* Remove unsafe code in namespaced_name.
Benchmarking shows approximately zero change.
* Allow the types of ns and name to differ when constructing a NamespacedName.
* Make symbol namespaces optional.
* Normalize names of keyword/symbol constructors.
This will make the subsequent refactor much less painful.
* Use expect not unwrap.
* Merge Keyword and NamespacedKeyword.
We were forgetting to check for bound variables when resolving types other than ref types during inequality handling. This patch adds in the binding checks and `bails` if the bound variable is of the wrong type. #634
* Refactor AttributeCache populator code for use from pull.
* Pre: add to_value_rc to Cloned.
* Pre: add From<StructuredMap> for Binding.
* Pre: clarify Store::open_empty.
* Pre: StructuredMap cleanup.
* Pre: clean up a doc test.
* Split projector crate. Pass schema to projector.
* CLI support for printing bindings.
* Add and use ConjoiningClauses::derive_types_from_find_spec.
* Define pull types.
* Implement pull on top of the attribute cache layer.
* Add pull support to the projector.
* Parse pull expressions.
* Add simple pull support to connection objects.
* Tests for pull.
* Compile with Rust 1.25.
The only choice involved in this commit is that of replacing the
anonymous lifetime '_ with a named lifetime for the cache; since we're
accepting a Known, which includes the cache in question, I think it's
clear that we expect the function to apply to any given cache
lifetime.
* Review comments.
* Bail on unnamed attribute.
* Make assert_parse_failure_contains safe to use.
* Rework query parser to report better errors for pull.
* Test for mixed wildcard and simple attribute.
* Pre: eliminate some occurrences of Rc, largely through the magic of Into.
* Pre: introduce FromRc to convert between refcounted types.
* Introduce ValueRc as an abstraction over Rc/Arc choice.
* Move Cloned to core.
* Move CString-creation methods to TypedValue.
* Finish transition.
`tx-ids` allows to enumerate transaction IDs efficiently.
`tx-data` allows to extract transaction log data efficiently.
We might eventually allow to filter by impacted attribute sets as well.
* Pre: use debugcli in VSCode.
* Pre: wrap subqueries in parentheses in output SQL.
* Pre: add ExistingColumn.
This lets us make reference to columns by name, rather than only
pointing to qualified aliases.
* Pre: add Into for &str to TypedValue.
* Pre: add Store.transact.
* Pre: cleanup.
* Parse and algebrize simple aggregates. (#312)
* Follow-up: print aggregate columns more neatly in the CLI.
* Useful ValueTypeSet helpers.
* Allow for entity inequalities.
* Add 'differ', which is a ref-specialized not-equals.
* Add 'unpermute', a function for getting unique, distinct pairs from bindings.
* Review comments.
* Add 'the' pseudo-aggregation operator.
This allows for a corresponding value to be returned when a query
includes one 'min' or 'max' aggregate.
* Use fixed-size arrays for bootstrap datoms, not vecs.
* Wide-ranging cleanup.
This commit:
- Deletes some dead code.
- Marks some functions only used by tests as cfg(test).
- Adds pub(crate) to a bunch of functions.
- Cleans up a few other nits.
* Use the cache to make constant queries super fast.
* Fix translate tests to match: we no longer generate SQL for many of them!
* Accumulate additions and removals into the cache.
* Make attribute cache clone-on-write; store it in Metadata.
* Allow caching of fulltext attributes, interning strings.
This puts caching in mentat_db, adds a reverse lookup capability for
unique attributes, and populates bidirectional caches with a single
SQL cursor walk.
Differentiate between begin_read and begin_uncached_read.
Note that we still allow toggling within InProgress, because there might be
transient local state that makes starting a new transaction impossible.
* Define Store, which is a simple container for a SQLite connection and a Conn.
This is a breaking change.
* Return the FindSpec as part of QueryOutput, not just results.
* Switch to using stderr in appropriate places in CLI.
* Print columns in CLI output.
Improve naming of read-only transactions.
Implement entid_for_type.
Simplify get_attribute.
Name ignored var in algebrizer.
Comment attribute_for_ident.
Make KnownEntid a core concept.
Expose lookup_value_for_attribute.
Implement HasSchema and a new query encapsulation on Conn.
Pre: export Queryable.
Pre: export AttributeBuilder from mentat_db.
Pre: fix module-level comment for tx/src/entities.rs.
Pre: rename some `to_` conversions to `into_`.
Pre: make AttributeBuilder::unique less verbose.
Pre: split out a HasSchema trait to abstract over Schema.
Pre: rename SchemaMap/schema_map to AttributeMap/attribute_map.
Pre: TypedValue/NamespacedKeyword conversions.
Pre: turn Unique and ValueType into TypedValue::Keyword.
Pre: export IntoResult.
Pre: export NamespacedKeyword from mentat_core.
Pre: use intern_set in tx.
Pre: add InternSet::len.
Pre: comment gardening.
Pre: remove inaccurate TODO from TxReport comment.
This was done using the following shell script:
```
find . -type f -not -path "*target*" \
'(' -name '*.rs' -o -name '*.md' -o -name '*.toml' ')' -print0 | \
xargs -0 sed -i '' -E 's/[[:space:]]*$//'
```
Which is admittedly imperfect, but manages to hit everything that was a problem in this repo.
* Pre: make FindQuery, FindSpec, and Element non-Clone.
* Pre: make query translator return a Result.
* Pre: make projection return a Result.
* Pre: refactor query parser in preparation for parsing aggregates.
* Pre: rename PredicateFn -> QueryFunction.
* Pre: expose more about bound variables from CC.
* Pre: move ValueTypeSet to core.
* Update some dependencies.
* Update rusqlite to 0.12.
* Update error-chain to a forked version that implements Sync.
* Fix some compiler warnings.
* Remove unused imports in tests.
* Parse errors no longer naturally print with the expected symbol.
This commit lifts some logic out of the scalar ground handler to apply
elsewhere.
When a new value binding is encountered for a variable to which column
bindings have already been established, we do two things:
- We apply a new constraint to the primary column. This ensures that the
behavior for ground-first and ground-second is equivalent.
- We eliminate any existing column type extraction: it won't be
necessary now that a constant value and constant type are known.
This version removes nalexander's lovely matrix code. It turned out
that scalar and tuple bindings are sufficiently different from coll
and rel -- they can directly apply as values in the query -- that
there was no point in jumping through hoops to turn those single
values into a matrix.
Furthermore, I've standardized us on a Vec<TypedValue>
representation for rectangular matrices, which should be much
more efficient, but would have required rewriting that code.
Finally, coll and rel are sufficiently different from each other
-- coll doesn't require processing nested collections -- that
my attempts to share code between them fell somewhat flat. I had
lots of nice ideas about zipping together cycles and such, but
ultimately I ended up with relatively straightforward, if a bit
repetitive, code.
The next commit will demonstrate the value of this work -- tests
that exercised scalar and tuple grounding now collapse down to
the simplest possible SQL.
Datomic accepts mostly-arbitrary EDN, and it is actually used: for
example, the following are all valid, and all mean different things:
* `(ground 1 ?x)`
* `(ground [1 2 3] [?x ?y ?z])`
* `(ground [[1 2 3] [4 5 6]] [[?x ?y ?z]])`
We could probably introduce new syntax that expresses these patterns
while avoiding collection arguments, but I don't see one right now.
I've elected to support only vectors for simplicity; I'm hoping to
avoid parsing edn::Value in the query-algebrizer.
