Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-481:
--------------------------------
Attachment: derby-481-02-aa-utilities.diff
Attaching derby-481-02-aa-utilities.diff. This patch adds some small,
miscellaneous support which will be turned on in later patches. Regression
tests pass cleanly for me. Touches the following files:
M java/engine/org/apache/derby/iapi/util/StringUtil.java
Added utility routine to stringify an int array.
M java/engine/org/apache/derby/loc/messages.xml
M java/shared/org/apache/derby/shared/common/reference/SQLState.java
New error messages related to generated columns.
M
java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/lang/GeneratedColumnsTest.java
A number of new test cases. New test cases are commented out right now but will
be uncommented as we check in the functionality that they verify.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.0.2.1
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas

> Satheesh has pointed out that generated columns, a SQL 2003 feature, would
> satisfy the performance requirements of Expression Indexes (bug 455).
> Generated columns may not be as elegant as Expression Indexes, but they are
> easier to implement. We would allow the following new kind of column
> definition in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements:
> columnName GENERATED ALWAYS AS ( expression )
> If expression were an indexableExpression (as defined in bug 455), then we
> could create indexes on it. There is no work for the optimizer to do here.
> The Language merely has to compute the generated column at INSERT/UPDATE time.
