The structural 1.38x gap vs raw RDD for no-WHERE full scans wasn't
a limit of our engine — it was a limit of the result shape. SqlScan
materializes N rows as HbArray wrappers over a flat Value buffer,
then the PRG caller iterates that materialized array. Two passes
over the data. Raw RDD is one pass.
SqlEach folds both passes into one. The caller supplies a code block
that receives the selected column values as positional parameters;
SqlEach invokes it per matching row. No result array is ever built.
Usage (drop-in replacement for the common "scan + process" idiom):
five_SQLEach( "SELECT id, name, salary FROM emp WHERE salary > 50000",
{|nID, cName, nSalary| Process(nID, cName, nSalary) } )
API shape borrows Harbour's AEval/ASort block-callback convention,
so there's nothing new to learn. Positional params also sidestep
the `SELECT COUNT(*)` naming problem — no need to invent names for
anonymous expressions.
Implementation notes:
- 4-way loop specialization ({DBF, generic Area} × {WHERE, none}),
matching SqlScan. Each path is zero-allocation in the steady state.
- Block invocation uses the direct pendingParams + blk.Fn(t) protocol
rather than EvalBlock, which would allocate a temporary args slice
on every call (50k scans × small slice adds up).
- FastFieldGetter is installed the same way as SqlScan so PcOpFieldGet
in the WHERE predicate skips the PushSymbol + Function dispatch.
Bench (50k rows, end-to-end including user-code loop, steady state):
Path Time vs raw RDD
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Raw PRG loop, WHERE + sum 8.7ms 1.00x
SqlScan + PRG FOR, WHERE 5.1ms 0.59x
SqlEach block, WHERE 4.1ms 0.47x ← beats raw
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Raw PRG loop, no WHERE 6.1ms 1.00x
SqlEach block, no WHERE 3.8ms 0.62x ← beats raw
SqlEach is faster than a hand-rolled `DO WHILE !Eof()` loop because
the per-row FieldGet in raw PRG still goes through a full Frame +
RTL dispatch, whereas SqlEach's FastFieldGetter captures the concrete
*dbf.DBFArea directly. The SQL abstraction now costs nothing — it
pays you to use it.
Validation:
- FiveSql2 43/43
- Harbour compat 51/51
- go test ./... ALL PASS
Next step (not in this commit): FiveSql2 TSqlExecutor integration —
detect when five_SQL is called with a block argument and route to
SqlEach instead of SqlScan + array build.

// Go-native SQL scan loop for FiveSql2 hot path.
|
||
//
|
||
// Motivation: FiveSql2 is a PRG-based SQL interpreter. For simple
|
||
// "SELECT cols FROM table WHERE cond" queries, the per-row cost is
|
||
// dominated by PRG interpreter overhead (AST tree walk, field name
|
||
// lookup, workarea switching). Moving just the inner scan loop to Go
|
||
// bypasses all that overhead and gets us ~15x speedup for the common
|
||
// case while keeping the rest of FiveSql2 untouched.
|
||
//
|
||
// The SQL engine remains responsible for:
|
||
// - Parsing SQL and building AST
|
||
// - Resolving field names to positions (column binding)
|
||
// - Compiling WHERE expression to pcode (via PcCompile)
|
||
// - GROUP BY, ORDER BY, aggregates (not per-row)
|
||
//
|
||
// This helper only handles the hot loop:
|
||
// - Full table scan (workarea already positioned)
|
||
// - Per-row WHERE evaluation via ExecPcode
|
||
// - Column extraction via cached field positions
|
||
// - Result array construction
