I have a table called "where_clauses" which contains a bunch of conditions I
would like to use for building dynamic queries. I would like to know all
possible queries I could perform using this data. Here is my "where_clauses"
data...
INSERT INTO where_clauses (id,col_name,clause) VALUES (1,'x','x < 1');
INSERT INTO where_clauses (id,col_name,clause) VALUES (2,'x','x < 2');
INSERT INTO where_clauses (id,col_name,clause) VALUES (3,'x','x < 3');
INSERT INTO where_clauses (id,col_name,clause) VALUES (4,'y','y < 1');
INSERT INTO where_clauses (id,col_name,clause) VALUES (5,'y','y < 2');
INSERT INTO where_clauses (id,col_name,clause) VALUES (6,'y','y < 3');
INSERT INTO where_clauses (id,col_name,clause) VALUES (7,'z','z < 1');
Ideally I would like the "all possible queries" in the form of an array of ids.
For example, the "all possible queries" result would be...
{1}
{1,4}
{1,4,7}
{1,5}
{1,5,7}
{1,6}
{1,6,7}
{2}
{2,4}
{2,4,7}
{2,5}
{2,5,7}
{2,6}
{2,6,7}
{3}
{3,4}
{3,4,7}
{3,5}
{3,5,7}
{3,6}
{3,6,7}
{4}
{4,7}
{5}
{5,7}
{6}
{6,7}
{7}
Note that im throwing out joining on equal columns. What is a query or function
that would give all possible where_clauses?
