cvs commit: db-torque/src/java/org/apache/torque/util LimitHelper.java BasePeer.java Query.java

henning     2004/08/26 10:01:26

  Modified:    src/java/org/apache/torque/util Tag: TORQUE_3_1_BRANCH
                        BasePeer.java Query.java
  Added:       src/java/org/apache/torque/util Tag: TORQUE_3_1_BRANCH
                        LimitHelper.java
  Log:
  Folks,
  
  while I was using a blind eye to look at the mess that the LIMIT /
  OFFSET generation has turned into, the last patch from Augustin was
  the straw that broke the camels' back.  Or, to be literal, broke the
  LIMIT / OFFSET generation for everything else but DB2. E.g. PostgreSQL.
  
  Which upsets me, because I use PostgreSQL. However, I didn't use LIMIT
  until about an hour ago.
  
  At some point, one has to take a step back, look at what has been done
  and ask oneself "is this really what I intended to do". Three
  different places in the already much too large BasePeer class where
  limits are checked in different ways; Criteria manipulation just to
  satisfy a single caller of createQueryString, patch over patch over
  patch just to get this somehow to compile.
  
  My stomach couldn't take this any longer (and I need a working OFFSET
  LIMIT for PostgreSQL and I would not touch this mess with a 3 metre
  pole).
  
  So I ripped everything out, rewrote it into a helper class and put it
  back in. Cleaned up the logic and everything. It still passes the unit
  tests (which is a good sign). And there are a lot of the invariants
  removed. Why do we need "supportsNativeOffset" and
  "supportsNativeLimit" when e.g. Oracle and DB2 allows this (by using a
  subquery) but return false/false for the supportsNativeLimit/Offset
  (DB2) or true/false (Oracle)?
  
  All of this stuff _needs_ testing. Sorry Scott. We will need an RC2.

Henning,

thanks for sorting this out. I was also very confused about the
offset/limit-handling some time ago, and I thought "ok, just don't touch
this stuff".
Sorry I am too busy at the moment to help testing but I hope this will
change soon.
