[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-681?page=all ]
Manish Khettry updated DERBY-681: --------------------------------- Attachment: 681.patch.txt This patch removes the "wrap group by's in a subselect" rewrite in the parser. It preserves the having clause through bind and optimize phases and during the final rewrite for aggregates in the GroupByNode, transforms the having clause to a valid restriction. I am also attaching a text file which should clarify the changes. This patch also fixes related bugs DERBY-1624, the regresssion introduced by DERBY-280 and also completes the functionality for DERBY-883. If this patch is approved and comitted I will file another bug to remove references to the flags generatedForGroupBy and geneatedForHaving which is dead code post this patch. I did not remove these references because it would make the patch even bigger and more complicated. > Eliminate the parser's rewriting of the abstract syntax tree for queries with > GROUP BY and/or HAVING clauses > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-681 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-681 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Assigned To: Manish Khettry > Attachments: 681.patch.txt, notes.txt > > > If a query contains a GROUP BY or HAVING clause, the parser rewrites the > abstract syntax tree, putting aggregates into a subselect and treating the > HAVING clause as the WHERE clause of a fabricated outer select from the > subquery. This allows the compiler to re-use some machinery since the HAVING > clause operates on the grouped result the way that the WHERE clause operates > on the from list. Unfortunately, this rewriting creates an explosion of > special cases in the compiler after parsing is done. The rewriting is not > systematically handled later on in the compiler. This gives rise to defects > like bug 280. We need to eliminate this special rewriting and handle the > HAVING clause in a straightforward way. This is not a small bugfix but is a > medium sized project. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
