binder.rs

//! From an `Ast` to a `Plan`.
//!
//! The binder walks the written query once, in the order the operators end up in rather than the
//! order the clauses are written in, which is `FROM`, `WHERE`, `GROUP BY`, `HAVING`, `SELECT`,
//! `DISTINCT`, `ORDER BY`, `LIMIT`. That order is not a stylistic choice: it is the reason `WHERE`
//! cannot see an output alias and `HAVING` cannot see a column that was not grouped, and doing it
//! in any other order means special casing both of those instead of getting them for free.
//!
//! Two things leave here settled that nothing downstream reconsiders. Every column is a table index
//! and a position rather than a name, so the optimizer never has to ask which `id` a name meant.
//! And every expression has a type, with the casts that make the types line up already written into
//! the plan as [`Expr::Cast`] nodes, so an executor never has to decide what a comparison between
//! an `INTEGER` and a `BIGINT` does.
