Detailed Description

A simple iterator that takes no input and produces zero output rows.

Used when the optimizer has figured out ahead of time that a given table can produce no output (e.g. SELECT ... WHERE 2+2 = 5).

The iterator can optionally have an array of the tables that are pruned away from the join tree by this iterator. It is only required when the iterator is on the inner side of an outer join, in which case it needs it in order to NULL-complement the rows in SetNullRowFlag().

Member Function Documentation

Init()

bool ZeroRowsIterator::Init ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Initialize or reinitialize the iterator.

You must always call Init() before trying a Read() (but Init() does not imply Read()).

You can call Init() multiple times; subsequent calls will rewind the iterator (or reposition it, depending on whether the iterator takes in e.g. a Index_lookup) and allow you to read the records anew.

Implements RowIterator.

Read()

int ZeroRowsIterator::Read ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Read a single row.

The row data is not actually returned from the function; it is put in the table's (or tables', in case of a join) record buffer, ie., table->records[0].

Return values

0	OK
-1	End of records
1	Error

Implements RowIterator.

SetNullRowFlag()

void ZeroRowsIterator::SetNullRowFlag ( bool  is_null_row )

overridevirtual

Mark the current row buffer as containing a NULL row or not, so that if you read from it and the flag is true, you'll get only NULLs no matter what is actually in the buffer (typically some old leftover row).

This is used for outer joins, when an iterator hasn't produced any rows and we need to produce a NULL-complemented row. Init() or Read() won't necessarily reset this flag, so if you ever set is to true, make sure to also set it to false when needed.

Note that this can be called without Init() having been called first. For example, NestedLoopIterator can hit EOF immediately on the outer iterator, which means the inner iterator doesn't get an Init() call, but will still forward SetNullRowFlag to both inner and outer iterators.

TODO: We shouldn't need this. See the comments on AggregateIterator for a bit more discussion on abstracting out a row interface.

Implements RowIterator.

UnlockRow()

void ZeroRowsIterator::UnlockRow ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Implements RowIterator.
