The side of the binary expression no longer needs to be stored in
`ConstraintInfo`, since the optimizer now guarantees that it is always
on the right. As a result, only the index of the corresponding constraint
needs to be preserved.
This change connects virtual tables with the query optimizer.
The optimizer now considers virtual tables during join order search
and invokes their best_index callbacks to determine feasible access
paths.
Currently, this is not a visible change, since none of the existing
extensions return information indicating that a plan is invalid.
Due to the left-prefix rule of indexes, for an index key to be usable,
it needs to:
- Use the columns in contiguous order (0, 1, 2...)
* eg if WHERE refers to cols 0 and 2, only 0 can be used
- Stop at the first range operator
* eg if WHERE: col1 = 5 AND col2 > 5 AND col3 = 5, only col1 and col2
can be used.
This wasn't properly tested, and resulted in simulator failures. Added
some regression tests for this behavior.
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.
