[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-9159) [GEP] Support LINQ, aka GINQ

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9159?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16884913#comment-16884913 ] 

Lukas Eder commented on GROOVY-9159:
------------------------------------

limit 5 offset 2
	select v
When switching the order of operations from SQL's _syntactical order_ to their _logical order_, offset / limit should come after select, not before, where offset precedes limit. The complete order can be seen here: [https://blog.jooq.org/2016/12/09/a-beginners-guide-to-the-true-order-of-sql-operations/], or also in the SQL Server manual: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/select-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017#logical-processing-order-of-the-select-statement] (missing union and a few other clauses). Notice this is imperative, because of the DISTINCT clause.

> h2. *Ⅰ. Background*
> In order to make querying different types of data sources convenient, we need a unified querying interface, i.e. GINQ
> h2. *Ⅱ. Solution*
> h3. *Basic rationale*
>  *Groovy User* ==_writes GINQ code_==> *Parrot Parser* ==generates AST==> *GINQ Transformation* ==_transforms AST to {{Queryable}} method invocations_==> *Bytecode Writer*
> h3. *transforms AST to {{Queryable}} method invocations will be designed for different cases*
> # target objects are all collections
> {{Queryable}} method invocations are implemented by Java 8+ stream method invocations
> # target objects are all DB related objects
> {{Queryable}} method invocations are implemented by *JOOQ* method invocations( [https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ] ), which would be implemented as a {{GINQ provider}} in a seperate sub-project(e.g. {{groovy-linq-jooq}}). _Note: *JOOQ* is licensed under *APL2* too_( [https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/blob/master/LICENSE] )
> # target objects are XML, CSV, etc. related objects, or even mixed types of objects
> We can treate the case as a special sub-case of case 1

> 	<U> Queryable<Tuple2<T, U>> rightJoin(Queryable<? extends U> queryable, BiPredicate<? super T, ? super U> joiner);

> h3. *Note:*
> {color:#d04437}1. The exact syntax might be altered before introduction, currently working on the general principle.{color}
>  2.GINQ will reuse most of standard SQL syntax, which can make the learning curve smooth and avoid infringing the patent of Microsoft.
>  3. All GINQ related keywords are real keywords, e.g. {{from}}, {{where}}, {{select}}, which is the approach applied by C#. In order to avoid breaking existing source code as possible as we can, we should add the new keywords to identifiers.
>  4. In order to support type inference better, {{select}} clause is placed at the end of GINQ expression.
>  5. {{select P1, P2 ... Pn}} is a simplifed syntax of {{select Tuple.tuple(P1, P2 ... Pn)}} and will create a {{List}} of {{Tuple}} sub-class instances when and only when {{n >= 2}}
