13 ** This file demonstrates how to create a table-valued-function using
14 ** a virtual table.  This demo implements the generate_series() function
15 ** which gives similar results to the eponymous function in PostgreSQL.
16 ** Examples:
17 **
18 **      SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100,5);
19 **
20 ** The query above returns integers from 0 through 100 counting by steps
21 ** of 5.
22 **
23 **      SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100);
24 **
25 ** Integers from 0 through 100 with a step size of 1.
26 **
27 **      SELECT * FROM generate_series(20) LIMIT 10;
28 **
29 ** Integers 20 through 29.
30 **
31 ** HOW IT WORKS
32 **
33 ** The generate_series "function" is really a virtual table with the
34 ** following schema:
35 **
36 **     CREATE TABLE generate_series(
37 **       value,
38 **       start HIDDEN,
39 **       stop HIDDEN,
40 **       step HIDDEN
41 **     );
42 **
43 ** Function arguments in queries against this virtual table are translated
44 ** into equality constraints against successive hidden columns.  In other
45 ** words, the following pairs of queries are equivalent to each other:
46 **
47 **    SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100,5);
48 **    SELECT * FROM generate_series WHERE start=0 AND stop=100 AND step=5;
49 **
50 **    SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100);
51 **    SELECT * FROM generate_series WHERE start=0 AND stop=100;
52 **
53 **    SELECT * FROM generate_series(20) LIMIT 10;
54 **    SELECT * FROM generate_series WHERE start=20 LIMIT 10;
55 **
56 ** The generate_series virtual table implementation leaves the xCreate method
57 ** set to NULL.  This means that it is not possible to do a CREATE VIRTUAL
58 ** TABLE command with "generate_series" as the USING argument.  Instead, there
59 ** is a single generate_series virtual table that is always available without
60 ** having to be created first.
61 **
62 ** The xBestIndex method looks for equality constraints against the hidden
63 ** start, stop, and step columns, and if present, it uses those constraints
64 ** to bound the sequence of generated values.  If the equality constraints
65 ** are missing, it uses 0 for start, 4294967295 for stop, and 1 for step.
66 ** xBestIndex returns a small cost when both start and stop are available,
67 ** and a very large cost if either start or stop are unavailable.  This
68 ** encourages the query planner to order joins such that the bounds of the
69 ** series are well-defined.
