Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-481:
-------------------------------------
Started playing a bit with generated columns, this behavior seems wrong?
create table bar (i int, j int generated always as (-i));
insert into bar(i,j) values (1, default); -- works
insert into bar values (2, default); -- fails trying to bind "i"
ERROR 42X04: Column 'I' is either not in any table in the FROM list or appears
within a join specification and is outside the scope of the join specification
or appears in a HAVING clause and is not in the GROUP BY list. If this is a
CREATE or ALTER TABLE statement then 'I' is not a column in the target table.
> implement SQL generated columns

> 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.
