For backward compatibility, if a table is not specified in the FROM clause,
beanquery operates on the "postings" table. Expressions in the FROM clause
are still supported and are merged with the WHERE clause at query
compilation time. This requires a way to disambiguate between column names
part of an expression and table names in the FROM clause and is the reason
why table names need to be prefixed with "#".
This is all very exciting, thanks for your work on this!
User question: will the new #tables be integrated in the documentation
at https://beancount.github.io/docs/beancount_query_language.html or
should we (users) look somewhere else? I feel like BQL is moving fast
and I'm not yet sure where to look for up-to-date doc. TIA!
Documentation is the main reason why I haven't published a release of
beanquery yet. I plan to provide updated documentation but I haven't
published anything yet.
I have a local branch that moves the documentation to Sphinx. I started
looking into writing a Sphinx plugin to auto generate documentation for
BQL tables and functions. However, I am not familiar with Sphinx and I
don't have enough uninterrupted hacking time to make progress. Help with
this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan
