该规则返回单个SelectStmt节点或它们的树,表示集合操作树(set-operation tree)。The rule returns either a single SelectStmt node or a tree of them, representing a set-operation tree. 当sub-SELECT位于a_expr内并且有多余的括号时,会出现歧义:括号是属于子SELECT还是属于周围的a_exp?我们不在乎,但bison想知道。There is an ambiguity when a sub-SELECT is within an a_expr and there are excess parentheses: do the parentheses belong to the sub-SELECT or to the surrounding a_expr? We don’t really care, but bison wants to know. 为了解决歧义,我们会谨慎地定义语法,以便尽可能长时间地推迟决策:只要我们能继续在sub-SELECT中吸收括号,我们就会这样做,只有当不再可能这样做时,我们才会决定括号属于表达式。To resolve the ambiguity, we are careful to define the grammar so that the decision is staved off as long as possible: as long as we can keep absorbing parentheses into the sub-SELECT, we will do so, and only when it’s no longer possible to do that will we decide that parens belong to the expression. 例如,在“SELECT(((SELECT 2))+3)”中,额外的括号被视为sub-select的一部分。“SELECT (((SELECT 2)) UNION SELECT 2)”显示了这样做的必要性。如果我们将“((SELECT 2))”解析为a_expr,那么当我们看到UNION时再返回SELECT视点就太晚了。For example, in “SELECT (((SELECT 2)) + 3)” the extra parentheses are treated as part of the sub-select. The necessity of doing it that way is shown by “SELECT (((SELECT 2)) UNION SELECT 2)”. Had we parsed “((SELECT 2))” as an a_expr, it’d be too late to go back to the SELECT viewpoint when we see the UNION.

此方法通过定义一个非终端select_with_parens来实现,它表示至少有一个外层括号的select,并注意在表达式语法中使用select_wwith_parens,never ‘(’ SelectStmt ‘)’。然后我们将有shift-reduce冲突,我们可以解决这些冲突,以便始终将’(’ <select> ')'视为select_with_parens。为了解决冲突,与select_with_parens productions冲突的productions被手动赋予低于“)”优先级的优先级,从而确保我们移动“)”(然后减少为select_wwith_parens),而不是试图将内部<select>非终结符减少为其他值。我们使用UMINUS优先级,这是一个相当随意的选择。为了能够无歧义地定义select_with_parens本身,我们需要一个非终端select_no_parens,它表示一个没有最外层括号的select结构。这有点乏味,但它有效。在非表达式上下文中,我们使用SelectStmt,它可以表示带或不带外括号的SELECT。This approach is implemented by defining a nonterminal select_with_parens, which represents a SELECT with at least one outer layer of parentheses, and being careful to use select_with_parens, never ‘(’ SelectStmt ‘)’, in the expression grammar. We will then have shift-reduce conflicts which we can resolve in favor of always treating ‘(’ <select> ‘)’ as a select_with_parens. To resolve the conflicts, the productions that conflict with the select_with_parens productions are manually given precedences lower than the precedence of ‘)’, thereby ensuring that we shift ‘)’ (and then reduce to select_with_parens) rather than trying to reduce the inner nonterminal to something else. We use UMINUS precedence for this, which is a fairly arbitrary choice. To be able to define select_with_parens itself without ambiguity, we need a nonterminal select_no_parens that represents a SELECT structure with no outermost parentheses. This is a little bit tedious, but it works. In non-expression contexts, we use SelectStmt which can represent a SELECT with or without outer parentheses.

select_no_parens

simple_select

select_no_parens:
			simple_select						{ $$ = $1; }

此规则解析集合操作(set operations)中可能出现的SELECT语句,包括UNION、INTERSECT和EXCEPT。'(‘和’)‘可用于指定集合操作的顺序。如果没有’(‘和)’,我们希望操作按照此文件开头的优先级规范进行排序。与select_no_parens一样,simple_select不能有外括号,但可以有带括号的子句。This rule parses SELECT statements that can appear within set operations, including UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT. ‘(’ and ‘)’ can be used to specify the ordering of the set operations. Without ‘(’ and ‘)’ we want the operations to be ordered per the precedence specs at the head of this file. As with select_no_parens, simple_select cannot have outer parentheses, but can have parenthesized subclauses.
请注意,排序子句不能包含在此级别–SQL需要 Note that sort clauses cannot be included at this level — SQL requires
SELECT foo UNION SELECT bar ORDER BY baz
要解析为
(SELECT foo UNION SELECT bar) ORDER BY baz
而不是
SELECT foo UNION (SELECT bar ORDER BY baz)
对于WITH、for UPDATE和LIMIT也是如此。因此,这些子句被描述为select_no_parens生成的一部分,而不是simple_select。这并不限制功能,因为您可以在括号内重新引入这些子句。注意:只有最左边的组件SelectStmt应该具有INTO。然而,语法没有检查这一点;解析分析必须检查它。Likewise for WITH, FOR UPDATE and LIMIT. Therefore, those clauses are described as part of the select_no_parens production, not simple_select. This does not limit functionality, because you can reintroduce these clauses inside parentheses. NOTE: only the leftmost component SelectStmt should have INTO. However, this is not checked by the grammar; parse analysis must check it.

simple_select:
			SELECT opt_all_clause 
			opt_target_list into_clause from_clause where_clause group_clause having_clause window_clause
				{   SelectStmt *n = makeNode(SelectStmt);
					n->targetList = $3; n->intoClause = $4; n->fromClause = $5; n->whereClause = $6; n->groupClause = $7; n->havingClause = $8; n->windowClause = $9;
					$$ = (Node *)n;
				}
			| SELECT 
			  distinct_clause target_list into_clause from_clause where_clause group_clause having_clause window_clause
				{   SelectStmt *n = makeNode(SelectStmt);
					n->distinctClause = $2; n->targetList = $3; n->intoClause = $4; n->fromClause = $5; n->whereClause = $6; n->groupClause = $7; n->havingClause = $8; n->windowClause = $9;
					$$ = (Node *)n;
				}
			| values_clause							{ $$ = $1; }
			| TABLE relation_expr  /* same as SELECT * FROM relation_expr */
				{				
					ColumnRef *cr = makeNode(ColumnRef); cr->fields = list_make1(makeNode(A_Star)); cr->location = -1;														
					ResTarget *rt = makeNode(ResTarget); rt->name = NULL; rt->indirection = NIL; rt->val = (Node *)cr; rt->location = -1;
					SelectStmt *n = makeNode(SelectStmt); n->targetList = list_make1(rt); n->fromClause = list_make1($2);
					$$ = (Node *)n;
				}
			| select_clause UNION all_or_distinct select_clause  // 集合操作(set operations) UNION
				{ $$ = makeSetOp(SETOP_UNION, $3, $1, $4); }
			| select_clause INTERSECT all_or_distinct select_clause // 集合操作(set operations) SETOP_INTERSECT
				{ $$ = makeSetOp(SETOP_INTERSECT, $3, $1, $4); }
			| select_clause EXCEPT all_or_distinct select_clause // 集合操作(set operations) SETOP_EXCEPT
				{ $$ = makeSetOp(SETOP_EXCEPT, $3, $1, $4); }

insertSelectOptions

select_no_parens的其他规则主要是处理sort_clause、opt_sort_clause、select_limit、opt_select_limit、for_locking_clause、opt_for_locking_clause、with_clause等规则,使用insertSelectOptions函数将这些语句生成的节点插入到SelectStmt对应的成员中。

select_clause:
			simple_select							{ $$ = $1; }
			| select_with_parens					{ $$ = $1; }
select_no_parens:
			select_clause sort_clause
				{ insertSelectOptions((SelectStmt *) $1, $2, NIL, NULL, NULL, NULL, yyscanner); $$ = $1; }
			| select_clause opt_sort_clause for_locking_clause opt_select_limit
				{ insertSelectOptions((SelectStmt *) $1, $2, $3, list_nth($4, 0), list_nth($4, 1), NULL, yyscanner); $$ = $1; }
			| select_clause opt_sort_clause select_limit opt_for_locking_clause
				{ insertSelectOptions((SelectStmt *) $1, $2, $4, list_nth($3, 0), list_nth($3, 1), NULL, yyscanner); $$ = $1; }
			| with_clause select_clause
				{ insertSelectOptions((SelectStmt *) $2, NULL, NIL, NULL, NULL, $1, yyscanner); $$ = $2; }
			| with_clause select_clause sort_clause
				{ insertSelectOptions((SelectStmt *) $2, $3, NIL, NULL, NULL, $1, yyscanner); $$ = $2; }
			| with_clause select_clause opt_sort_clause for_locking_clause opt_select_limit
				{ insertSelectOptions((SelectStmt *) $2, $3, $4, list_nth($5, 0), list_nth($5, 1), $1, yyscanner); $$ = $2; }
			| with_clause select_clause opt_sort_clause select_limit opt_for_locking_clause
				{ insertSelectOptions((SelectStmt *) $2, $3, $5, list_nth($4, 0), list_nth($4, 1), $1, yyscanner); $$ = $2; }

insertSelectOptions() Insert ORDER BY, etc into an already-constructed SelectStmt. This routine is just to avoid duplicating code in SelectStmt productions. 主要包含sortClause【ORDER BY】、lockingClause【FOR UPDATE | FOR NO KEY UPDATE | FOR SHARE | FOR KEY SHARE】、limitOffset、limitCount、withClause【WITH | WITH_LA | WITH RECURSIVE】子句结构体。

/* insertSelectOptions() Insert ORDER BY, etc into an already-constructed SelectStmt. This routine is just to avoid duplicating code in SelectStmt productions. */
static void insertSelectOptions(SelectStmt *stmt, List *sortClause, List *lockingClause, Node *limitOffset, Node *limitCount, WithClause *withClause, core_yyscan_t yyscanner) {
	/* Tests here are to reject constructs like	(SELECT foo ORDER BY bar) ORDER BY baz */
	if (sortClause) { // 不允许多重ORDER BY
		if (stmt->sortClause) ereport(ERROR,(errcode(ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR), errmsg("multiple ORDER BY clauses not allowed"), parser_errposition(exprLocation((Node *) sortClause))));
		stmt->sortClause = sortClause;
	}
	
	/* We can handle multiple locking clauses, though */
	stmt->lockingClause = list_concat(stmt->lockingClause, lockingClause);

transformStmt

PostgreSQL查询引擎——SELECT STATEMENTS SelectStmt_sql


从如下transformStmt函数可以看出,对于SelectStmt的处理分为了三种情况:ValuesClause;集合操作(set operations)【select_clause UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT all_or_distinct select_clause】;其他正常SelectStmt。

Query *transformStmt(ParseState *pstate, Node *parseTree){
    Query	   *result;
	switch (nodeTag(parseTree)){   
        ...
		case T_SelectStmt:{
				SelectStmt *n = (SelectStmt *) parseTree;
				if (n->valuesLists)
					result = transformValuesClause(pstate, n);
				else if (n->op == SETOP_NONE)
					result = transformSelectStmt(pstate, n);
				else
					result = transformSetOperationStmt(pstate, n);
			}
			break;   
	    ...
	}	
	result->querySource = QSRC_ORIGINAL; /* Mark as original query until we learn differently */
	result->canSetTag = true;
	return result;
}
