as we make changes to the way materialized views are generated (think
adding new operators, changing the id of existing operators, etc), we
will need to persist the topology of the circuit itself. This is a
change that I believe to be premature. For now, it is enough to reserve
the first operator id for it, and add a version number to the table
name. We can just detect that something changed, and ask the user to
drop the view. We can get away with it due to the fact that the views
are experimental.
This solves an issue where an INSERT statement conflicts with
multiple indices. In that case, sqlite iterates the linked list
`pTab->pIndex` in order and handles the first conflict encountered.
The newest parsed index is always added to the head of the list.
To be compatible with this behavior, we also need to put the most
recently parsed index definition first in our indexes list for a given
table.
This fairly long commit implements persistence for materialized view.
It is hard to split because of all the interdependencies between components,
so it is a one big thing. This commit message will at least try to go into
details about the basic architecture.
Materialized Views as tables
============================
Materialized views are now a normal table - whereas before they were a virtual
table. By making a materialized view a table, we can reuse all the
infrastructure for dealing with tables (cursors, etc).
One of the advantages of doing this is that we can create indexes on view
columns. Later, we should also be able to write those views to separate files
with ATTACH write.
Materialized Views as Zsets
===========================
The contents of the table are a ZSet: rowid, values, weight. Readers will
notice that because of this, the usage of the ZSet data structure dwindles
throughout the codebase. The main difference between our materialized ZSet and
the standard DBSP ZSet, is that obviously ours is backed by a BTree, not a Hash
(since SQLite tables are BTrees)
Aggregator State
================
In DBSP, the aggregator nodes also have state. To store that state, there is a
second table. The table holds all aggregators in the view, and there is one
table per view. That is __turso_internal_dbsp_state_{view_name}. The format of
that table is similar to a ZSet: rowid, serialized_values, weight. We serialize
the values because there will be many aggregators in the table. We can't rely
on a particular format for the values.
The Materialized View Cursor
============================
Reading from a Materialized View essentially means reading from the persisted
ZSet, and enhancing that with data that exists within the transaction.
Transaction data is ephemeral, so we do not materialize this anywhere: we have
a carefully crafted implementation of seek that takes care of merging weights
and stitching the two sets together.
SQLite does not allow us to modify system tables, but we do. Let's fix
it.

Different scan parameters are required for different table types.
Currently, index and iteration direction are only used by B-tree tables,
while the remaining table types don’t require any parameters. Planning
access to virtual tables, however, will require passing additional
information from the planner, such as the virtual table index (distinct
from a B-tree index) and the constraints that must be forwarded to the
`filter` method.

This PR replaces the `Name(pub String)` struct with a `Name` enum that
explicitly models how the name appeared in the source either as an
unquoted identifier (`Ident`) or a quoted string (`Quoted`).
In the process, the separate `Id` wrapper type has been coalesced into
the `Name` enum, simplifying the AST and reducing duplication in
identifier handling logic.
While this increases the size of some AST nodes (notably
`yyStackEntry`).

Support for attaching databases. The main difference from SQLite is that
we support an arbitrary number of attached databases, and we are not
bound to just 100ish.
We for now only support read-only databases. We open them as read-only,
but also, to keep things simple, we don't patch any of the insert
machinery to resolve foreign tables. So if an insert is tried on an
attached database, it will just fail with a "no such table" error - this
is perfect for now.
The code in core/translate/attach.rs is written by Claude, who also
played a key part in the boilerplate for stuff like the .databases
command and extending the pragma database_list, and also aided me in
the test cases.
This commit replaces the `Name(pub String)` struct with a `Name` enum that

In the process, the separate `Id` wrapper type has been coalesced into the

While this increases the size of some AST nodes (notably `yyStackEntry`),
it improves correctness and makes source structure more explicit for
later phases.
Makes it easier to test the feature:
```
$ cargo run -- --experimental-indexes
Limbo v0.0.22
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database
limbo> CREATE TABLE t(x);
limbo> CREATE INDEX t_idx ON t(x);
limbo> DROP INDEX t_idx;
```
Currently our "table id"/"table no"/"table idx" references always
use the direct index of the `TableReference` in the plan, e.g. in
`SelectPlan::table_references`. For example:
```rust
Expr::Column { table: 0, column: 3, .. }
```
refers to the 0'th table in the `table_references` list.
This is a fragile approach because it assumes the table_references
list is stable for the lifetime of the query processing. This has so
far been the case, but there exist certain query transformations,
e.g. subquery unnesting, that may fold new table references from
a subquery (which has its own table ref list) into the table reference
list of the parent.
If such a transformation is made, then potentially all of the Expr::Column
references to tables will become invalid. Consider this example:
```sql
-- Assume tables: users(id, age), orders(user_id, amount)
-- Get total amount spent per user on orders over $100
SELECT u.id, sub.total
FROM users u JOIN
(SELECT user_id, SUM(amount) as total
FROM orders o
WHERE o.amount > 100
GROUP BY o.user_id) sub
WHERE u.id = sub.user_id
-- Before subquery unnesting:
-- Main query table_references: [users, sub]
-- u.id refers to table 0, column 0
-- sub.total refers to table 1, column 1
--
-- Subquery table_references: [orders]
-- o.user_id refers to table 0, column 0
-- o.amount refers to table 0, column 1
--
-- After unnesting and folding subquery tables into main query,
-- the query might look like this:
SELECT u.id, SUM(o.amount) as total
FROM users u JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
WHERE o.amount > 100
GROUP BY u.id;
-- Main query table_references: [users, orders]
-- u.id refers to table index 0 (correct)
-- o.amount refers to table index 0 (incorrect, should be 1)
-- o.user_id refers to table index 0 (incorrect, should be 1)
```
We could ofc traverse every expression in the subquery and rewrite
the table indexes to be correct, but if we instead use stable identifiers
for each table reference, then all the column references will continue
to be correct.
Hence, this PR introduces a `TableInternalId` used in `TableReference`
as well as `Expr::Column` and `Expr::Rowid` so that this kind of query
transformations can happen with less pain.
