NAME

Genezzo::Plan::TypeCheck - Perform checks on relational algebra representation

SYNOPSIS

use Genezzo::Plan::TypeCheck;

DESCRIPTION

Perform type-checking/analysis on relational algebra.

ARGUMENTS

FUNCTIONS

TypeCheck: Perform typechecking on a relational algebra, and add type information to the tree
TableCheck: Check table references in the relational algebra, and provide type information.
ColumnCheck: Resolve each column reference in the relational algebra back to some base table.

EXPORT

LIMITATIONS

TODO

need to generate stages to perform aggregate initialization and intermediate aggregation
check for aggregates in WHERE clause
check for GROUPing/aggregates
check for final select list columns vs all projected columns in all clauses
check args for all functions
check for function existance in GenDBI and main namespaces
update pod
need to handle FROM clause subqueries -- some tricky column type issues. check for duplicate aliases/type mismatch in _FROM_subq_star_fixup ?
check bool_op - AND purity if no OR's.
check relational operator (comp_op, relop)
handle ddl/dml (create, insert, delete etc with embedded queries) by checking for query_block info -- look for hash with 'query_block' before attempting table/col resolution. Need special type checking for these functions.
refactor to common TreeWalker
handle all pseudo cols
most value expression stuff needs to migrate to XEval
