Oracle SQL accepts statements like
PREPARE stmt FROM 'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (:a,:b)';
PREPARE stmt FROM 'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (:"a",:"b")';
That is, the variable may be surrounded by quotes.
The embedded parser of 10.3 parses things slightly differently than
how the embedded parser of earlier releases does. When comparing the
output of different query classifiers you need to be able to specify
with what qc_sqlite should be compatible with.
Sometimes you want to know whether the parsing using different
queryclassifiers differs, irrespective of whether they agree
upon the outcome or not.
With -R it is now possible to cause a difference in the return
value of qc_parse() to be printed.
When developing the oracle related parser extensions, it makes
things simpler if also qc_mysqlembedded properly reports when
it cannot parse a statement.
Note, although this change is marked for 2.1, it will not be
merged into the first 2.1 GA release.
EXPLAIN statements are no longer parsed completely as doing so makes
it hard to modify the grammar for the needs or Oracle SQL.
Consequently, for an EXPLAIN statement you now bascially only get the
type and the operation (the newly added QUERY_OP_EXPLAIN and QUERY_OP_SHOW).
The other information is not interesting and is related to
information_schema and similar tables.
By default, only the essentials - the type and the operation - of
a statement will be collected and only if fields, tables, functions
and databases are explicitly asked for, will they be collected.
However, a statement will be parsed at most twice; if parsing is
needed a second time then all information will be collected.
If it is known that some particular information is needed, then
qc_parse() can be called explicitly to ensure it is collected
at first parsing.
It is now possible to specify what information the caller is interested
in. With this the cost for collecting information during the query parsing
that nobody is interested in can be avoided.
The process and thread initialization/finalization of the query
classifier plugins is handled using the process and thread
initialization/finalization functions in the module object.
However, the top-level query classifier will also need to perform
process and thread initialization when transaction boundaries are
detected using regular expressions.
GCC on CentOS6 thinks there is an array-bounds error in the sqlite
code. As that code is outside our hands, it is easiest to instruct
GCC not to treat it as an error.
As every thread has a separate (in-memory) database, i.e. not
just a separate _connection_, sqlite can be compiled in singe-thread
mode, which means that there will be *no* locking.
The embedded parser is not capable of parsing preparable statements
containing ?:s as ordinary statements, so they have to be replaced
with something else. Replacing them with a dummy variable cannot be
done as that will affect the type of the statement. Replacing with
0 seems to be a good compromise.
Since the whole preparable statement will be available, it is
superfluous to provide a function using which the operation of
the preparable statement can be obtained.
