Richard Newman 3dc68bcd38 Combine NamespacedKeyword and Keyword. (#689) r=nalexander
* 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.

README.md Partly flesh out query algebrizer. (#243) r=nalexander 2017-02-15 16:10:59 -08:00

This crate turns a parsed query, as defined by the query crate and produced by the query-parser crate, into an algebrized tree, also called a query processor tree.

This is something of a wooly definition: a query algebrizer in a traditional relational database is the component that combines the schema — including column type constraints — with the query, resolving names and that sort of thing. Much of that work is unnecessary in our model; for example, we don't need to resolve column aliases, deal with table names, or that sort of thing. But the similarity is strong enough to give us the name of this crate.

The result of this process is traditionally handed to the query optimizer to yield an execution plan. In our case the execution plan is deterministically derived from the algebrized tree, and the real optimization (such as it is) takes place within the underlying SQLite database.
