1//! SQL Projection Query Generator
2//!
3//! Generates database-specific SQL for field projection optimization.
4//!
5//! # Overview
6//!
7//! When a schema type has a `SqlProjectionHint`, this module generates the actual SQL
8//! to project only requested fields at the database level, reducing network payload
9//! and JSON deserialization overhead.
10//!
11//! # Supported Databases
12//!
13//! - PostgreSQL: Uses `jsonb_build_object()` for efficient field selection
14//! - MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server: Multi-database support
15//!
16//! # Example
17//!
18//! ```rust
19//! use fraiseql_db::projection_generator::PostgresProjectionGenerator;
20//! # use fraiseql_error::Result;
21//! # fn example() -> Result<()> {
22//! let generator = PostgresProjectionGenerator::new();
23//! let fields = vec!["id".to_string(), "name".to_string(), "email".to_string()];
24//! let sql = generator.generate_projection_sql(&fields)?;
25//! assert!(sql.contains("jsonb_build_object"));
26//! # Ok(())
27//! # }
28//! ```
