//! This module is responsible for translating PRQL AST to sqlparser AST, and
//! then to a String. We use sqlparser because it's trivial to create the string
//! once it's in their AST (it's just `.to_string()`). It also lets us support a
//! few dialects of SQL immediately.
// The average code quality here is low — we're basically plugging in test
// cases and fixing what breaks, with some occasional refactors. I'm not sure
// that's a terrible approach — the SQL spec is huge, so we're not reasonably
// going to be isomorphically mapping everything back from SQL to PRQL. But it
// does mean we should continue to iterate on this file and refactor things when
// necessary.
