13//! SQL query builder for virtual server operations.
14//!
15//! This module provides a stateless SQL query generator that produces
16//! generic SQL strings for perspective virtual server operations.
17
18// TODO(texodus): Missing these features
19//
20// - row expand/collapse in the datagrid needs datamodel support, this is likely
21// a "collapsed" boolean column in the temp table we `UPDATE`.
22//
23// - `on_update` real-time support will be method which takes sa view name and a
24// handler and calls the handler when the view needs to be recalculated.
25//
26// Nice to have:
27//
28// - Optional `view_change` method can be implemented for engine optimization,
29// defaulting to just delete & recreate (as Perspective engine does now).
30//
31// - Would like to add a metadata API so that e.g. Viewer debug panel could show
32// internal generated SQL.
