rudb_bind/
statement.rs

1//! From an `Ast` to a `Bound`, which is a statement rather than a query.
2//!
3//! A `SELECT` binds to a [`Plan`] and nothing else, and that is why [`bind`](crate::bind) can hand
4//! one back. `CREATE TABLE`, `DROP TABLE` and `INSERT` are not plans and are deliberately not being
5//! made into plans. A `Node::CreateTable` would be a node with no columns, no rows, no cost and no
6//! reason to be pushed past anything, which is to say a node the optimizer has to be told to leave
7//! alone and the executor has to special case at the root. `spec/09-optimizer.md` section 9.1 says
8//! every node in a plan produces rows, and a DDL statement does not, so it goes beside the plan and
9//! not inside it.
10//!
11//! What each variant carries is the statement with every name and type already resolved, so the
12//! thing that runs it does catalog calls and nothing else. An `INSERT` in particular arrives with
13//! a plan whose output is exactly the target's columns in the target's order and the target's
14//! types, with the casts and the nulls for unmentioned columns already in it, so appending is a
15//! loop over chunks.
