+<p>However, via this installation option, we provide a combo solution for automating both AWS EC2 and AsterixDB, where you can run only one script to deploy, start, stop, and terminate an AsterixDB cluster on AWS.</p></div>

+
+<div class="source">
+<div class="source">
+<pre> $ ansible --version

+<p><b>Nodes and account</b>. Edit the inventory file <tt>conf/inventory</tt> when necessary. You mostly only need to specify the node DNS names (or IPs) for the cluster controller, i.e., the master node, in the <b>[cc]</b> section, and node controllers, i.e., slave nodes, in the <b>[ncs]</b> section. The following example configures a cluster with two slave nodes (172.0.1.11 and 172.0.1.12) and one master node (172.0.1.10).</p>

+

+<p><b>Remote working directories</b>. Edit <tt>conf/instance_settings.yml</tt> to change the remote binary directory (the variable “binarydir”) when necessary.

+<p>This document is intended as a reference guide to the full syntax and semantics of the SQL++ Query Language, a SQL-inspired language for working with semistructured data. SQL++ has much in common with SQL, but some differences do exist due to the different data models that the two languages were designed to serve. SQL was designed in the 1970’s for interacting with the flat, schema-ified world of relational databases, while SQL++ is much newer and targets the nested, schema-optional (or even schema-less) world of modern NoSQL systems.</p>
+<p>In the context of Apache AsterixDB, SQL++ is intended for working with the Asterix Data Model (<a href="../datamodel.html">ADM</a>),a data model based on a superset of JSON with an enriched and flexible type system. New AsterixDB users are encouraged to read and work through the (much friendlier) guide “<a href="primer-sqlpp.html">AsterixDB 101: An ADM and SQL++ Primer</a>” before attempting to make use of this document. In addition, readers are advised to read through the <a href="../datamodel.html">Asterix Data Model (ADM) reference guide</a> first as well, as an understanding of the data model is a prerequisite to understanding SQL++.</p>
+<p>In what follows, we detail the features of the SQL++ language in a grammar-guided manner. We list and briefly explain each of the productions in the SQL++ grammar, offering examples (and results) for clarity.</p>

+<p>SQL++ is a highly composable expression language. Each SQL++ expression returns zero or more data model instances. There are three major kinds of expressions in SQL++. At the topmost level, a SQL++ expression can be an OperatorExpression (similar to a mathematical expression), an ConditionalExpression (to choose between alternative values), or a QuantifiedExpression (which yields a boolean value). Each will be detailed as we explore the full SQL++ grammar.</p>
+
+<div class="source">
+<div class="source">
+<pre>Expression ::= OperatorExpression | CaseExpression | QuantifiedExpression
+</pre></div></div>

+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="Operator_Expressions"></a><a name="Operator_expressions" id="Operator_expressions">Operator Expressions</a></h2>
+<p>Operators perform a specific operation on the input values or expressions. The syntax of an operator expression is as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="source">
+<div class="source">
+<pre>OperatorExpression ::= PathExpression
+ | Operator OperatorExpression
+ | OperatorExpression Operator (OperatorExpression)?
+ | OperatorExpression <BETWEEN> OperatorExpression <AND> OperatorExpression
+</pre></div></div>
+<p>SQL++ provides a full set of operators that you can use within its statements. Here are the categories of operators:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li><a href="#Arithmetic_operators">Arithmetic Operators</a>, to perform basic mathematical operations;</li>
+

+<p>Comparison operators are used to compare values. The comparison operators fall into one of two sub-categories: missing value comparisons and regular value comparisons. SQL++ (and JSON) has two ways of representing missing information in a object - the presence of the field with a NULL for its value (as in SQL), and the absence of the field (which JSON permits). For example, the first of the following objects represents Jack, whose friend is Jill. In the other examples, Jake is friendless a la SQL, with a friend field that is NULL, while Joe is friendless in a more natural (for JSON) way, i.e., by not having a friend field.</p>

+<p>The following pair of examples illustrate the use of a quantified expression to test that every (or some) element in the set [1, 2, 3] of integers is less than three. The first example yields <tt>FALSE</tt> and second example yields <tt>TRUE</tt>.</p>
+<p>It is useful to note that if the set were instead the empty set, the first expression would yield <tt>TRUE</tt> (“every” value in an empty set satisfies the condition) while the second expression would yield <tt>FALSE</tt> (since there isn’t “some” value, as there are no values in the set, that satisfies the condition).</p>
+<p>A quantified expression will return a <tt>NULL</tt> (or <tt>MISSING</tt>) if the first expression in it evaluates to <tt>NULL</tt> (or <tt>MISSING</tt>). A type error will be raised if the first expression in a quantified expression does not return a collection.</p>

+<p>Components of complex types in the data model are accessed via path expressions. Path access can be applied to the result of a SQL++ expression that yields an instance of a complex type, for example, a object or array instance. For objects, path access is based on field names. For arrays, path access is based on (zero-based) array-style indexing. SQL++ also supports an “I’m feeling lucky” style index accessor, [?], for selecting an arbitrary element from an array. Attempts to access non-existent fields or out-of-bound array elements produce the special value <tt>MISSING</tt>. Type errors will be raised for inappropriate use of a path expression, such as applying a field accessor to a numeric value.</p>

+<p>Literals (constants) in SQL++ can be strings, integers, floating point values, double values, boolean constants, or special constant values like <tt>NULL</tt> and <tt>MISSING</tt>. The <tt>NULL</tt> value is like a <tt>NULL</tt> in SQL; it is used to represent an unknown field value. The specialy value <tt>MISSING</tt> is only meaningful in the context of SQL++ field accesses; it occurs when the accessed field simply does not exist at all in a object being accessed.</p>

+<p>A variable in SQL++ can be bound to any legal data model value. A variable reference refers to the value to which an in-scope variable is bound. (E.g., a variable binding may originate from one of the <tt>FROM</tt>, <tt>WITH</tt> or <tt>LET</tt> clauses of a <tt>SELECT</tt> statement or from an input parameter in the context of a function body.) Backticks, for example, `id`, are used for delimited identifiers. Delimiting is needed when a variable’s desired name clashes with a SQL++ keyword or includes characters not allowed in regular identifiers.</p>

+<p>A major feature of SQL++ is its ability to construct new data model instances. This is accomplished using its constructors for each of the model’s complex object structures, namely arrays, multisets, and objects. Arrays are like JSON arrays, while multisets have bag semantics. Objects are built from fields that are field-name/field-value pairs, again like JSON.</p>
+<p>The following examples illustrate how to construct a new array with 4 items and a new object with 2 fields respectively. Array elements can be homogeneous (as in the first example), which is the common case, or they may be heterogeneous (as in the second example). The data values and field name values used to construct arrays, multisets, and objects in constructors are all simply SQL++ expressions. Thus, the collection elements, field names, and field values used in constructors can be simple literals or they can come from query variable references or even arbitrarily complex SQL++ expressions (subqueries). Type errors will be raised if the field names in an object are not strings, and duplicate field errors will be raised if they are not distinct.</p>

The results contain one object per pair, with result objects containing the user’s name and an entire message.

Note that this is slightly different from standard SQL, which instead would fill in <tt>NULL</tt> values for the right-side fields. The reason for this difference is that, for non-matches in its join results, SQL++ views fields from the right-side as being “not there” (a.k.a. <tt>MISSING</tt>) instead of as being “there but unknown” (i.e., <tt>NULL</tt>).</p>
