Semantics / Type Checking

The parser does not distinguish between expressions of different types (e.g. boolean vs string). The caller is responsible for detecting and validating types as necessary (for example WHERE 1 vs SELECT 1=1) See the README.md for more details.

Equality and Hashing Does not Include Source Locations

The Expr type implements PartialEq and Eq based on the semantic value of the expression (not bitwise comparison). This means that Expr instances that are semantically equivalent but have different spans (locations in the source tree) will compare as equal.

Variants

Identifier(Ident)

Identifier e.g. table name or column name

CompoundIdentifier(Vec<Ident>)

Multi-part identifier, e.g. table_alias.column or schema.table.col

CompoundFieldAccess

Multi-part expression access.

This structure represents an access chain in structured / nested types such as maps, arrays, and lists:

• Array
  • A 1-dim array a[1] will be represented like: CompoundFieldAccess(Ident('a'), vec![Subscript(1)]
  • A 2-dim array a[1][2] will be represented like: CompoundFieldAccess(Ident('a'), vec![Subscript(1), Subscript(2)]
• Map or Struct (Bracket-style)
  • A map a['field1'] will be represented like: CompoundFieldAccess(Ident('a'), vec![Subscript('field')]
  • A 2-dim map a['field1']['field2'] will be represented like: CompoundFieldAccess(Ident('a'), vec![Subscript('field1'), Subscript('field2')]
• Struct (Dot-style) (only effect when the chain contains both subscript and expr)
  • A struct access a[field1].field2 will be represented like: CompoundFieldAccess(Ident('a'), vec![Subscript('field1'), Ident('field2')]
• If a struct access likes a.field1.field2, it will be represented by CompoundIdentifier([a, field1, field2])
