# Description
Part 4 of replacing std::path types with nu_path types added in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13115. This PR migrates various
tests throughout the code base.
# Description
Judiciously try to avoid allocations/clone by changing the signature of
functions
- **Don't pass str by value unnecessarily if only read**
- **Don't require a vec in `Sandbox::with_files`**
- **Remove unnecessary string clone**
- **Fixup unnecessary borrow**
- **Use `&str` in shape color instead**
- **Vec -> Slice**
- **Elide string clone**
- **Elide `Path` clone**
- **Take &str to elide clone in tests**

This touches many tests purely in changing from owned to borrowed/static
data
# Description
in order to change the style of the _serialized_ NUON data,
`nuon::to_nuon` takes three mutually exclusive arguments, `raw: bool`,
`tabs: Option<usize>` and `indent: Option<usize>` 🤔
this begs to use an enumeration with all possible alternatives, right?
this PR changes the signature of `nuon::to_nuon` to use `nuon::ToStyle`
which has three variants
- `Raw`: no newlines
- `Tabs(n: usize)`: newlines and `n` tabulations as indent
- `Spaces(n: usize)`: newlines and `n` spaces as indent
# User-Facing Changes
the signature of `nuon::to_nuon` changes from
```rust
to_nuon(
input: &Value,
raw: bool,
tabs: Option<usize>,
indent: Option<usize>,
span: Option<Span>,
) -> Result<String, ShellError>
```
to
```rust
to_nuon(
input: &Value,
style: ToStyle,
span: Option<Span>
) -> Result<String, ShellError>
```

# After Submitting
# Description
playing with the NUON format in Rust code in some plugins, we agreed
with the team it was a great time to create a standalone NUON format to
allow Rust devs to use this Nushell file format.
> **Note**
> this PR almost copy-pastes the code from
`nu_commands/src/formats/from/nuon.rs` and
`nu_commands/src/formats/to/nuon.rs` to `nuon/src/from.rs` and
`nuon/src/to.rs`, with minor tweaks to make then standalone functions,
e.g. remove the rest of the command implementations
### TODO
- [x] add tests
- [x] add documentation
# User-Facing Changes
devs will have access to a new crate, `nuon`, and two functions,
`from_nuon` and `to_nuon`
```rust
from_nuon(
input: &str,
span: Option<Span>,
) -> Result<Value, ShellError>
```
```rust
to_nuon(
input: &Value,
raw: bool,
tabs: Option<usize>,
indent: Option<usize>,
span: Option<Span>,
) -> Result<String, ShellError>
```
# Tests + Formatting
i've basically taken all the tests from
`crates/nu-command/tests/format_conversions/nuon.rs` and converted them
to use `from_nuon` and `to_nuon` instead of Nushell commands
- i've created a `nuon_end_to_end` to run both conversions with an
optional middle value to check that all is fine
> **Note**
> the `nuon::tests::read_code_should_fail_rather_than_panic` test does
give different results locally and in the CI...

# After Submitting
mention that in the release notes for sure!!
# Description
In #10232, the allowed input types were changed to be stricter, only
allowing records with types that can easily map onto sqlite equivalents.
Unfortunately, null was left out of the accepted input types, which
makes inserting rows with null values impossible.
This change fixes that by accepting null values as input.
One caveat of this is that when the command is creating a new table, it
uses the first row to infer an appropriate sqlite schema. If the first
row contains a null value, then it is impossible to tell which type this
column is supposed to have.
Throwing a hard error seems undesirable from a UX perspective, but
guessing can lead to a potentially useless database if we guess wrong.
So as a compromise, for null columns, we will assume the sqlite type is
TEXT and print a warning so the user knows. For the time being, if users
can't avoid a first row with null values, but also wants the right
schema, they are advised to create their table before running `into
sqlite`.
A future PR can add the ability to explicitly specify a schema.
Fixes#12225

* Tests added to cover expected behavior around insertion of null values
# Description
This PR adds a `--params` param to `query db`. This closes#11643.
You can't combine both named and positional parameters, I think this
might be a limitation with rusqlite itself. I tried using named
parameters with indices like `{ ':named': 123, '1': "positional" }` but
that always failed with a rusqlite error. On the flip side, the other
way around works: for something like `VALUES (:named, ?)`, you can treat
both as positional: `-p [hello 123]`.
This PR introduces some very gnarly code repetition in
`prepared_statement_to_nu_list`. I tried, I swear; the compiler wasn't
having any of it, it kept telling me to box my closures and then it said
that the reference lifetimes were incompatible in the match arms. I gave
up and put the mapping code in the match itself, but I'm still not
happy.
Another thing I'm unhappy about: I don't like how you have to put the
`:colon` in named parameters. I think nushell should insert it if it's
[missing](https://www.sqlite.org/lang_expr.html#parameters). But this is
the way [rusqlite
works](https://docs.rs/rusqlite/latest/rusqlite/trait.Params.html#example-named),
so for now, I'll let it be consistent. Just know that it's not really a
blocker, and it isn't a compatibility change to later make `{ colon: 123
}` work, without the quotes and `:`. This would require allocating and
turning our pretty little `&str` into a `String`, though
# User-Facing Changes
Less incentive to leave yourself open to SQL injection with statements
like `query db $"INSERT INTO x VALUES \($unsafe_user_input)"`.
Additionally, the `$""` syntax being annoying with parentheses plays in
our favor, making users even more likely to use ? with `--params`.

# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)
This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `Value` in `nu-protocol` which is exposed as
part of the plugin API.
# Description
Currently, the `into sqlite` command collects the entire input stream
into a single Value, which soaks up the entire input into memory, before
it ever tries to write anything to the DB. This is very problematic for
large inputs; for example, I tried transforming a multi-gigabyte CSV
file into SQLite, and before I knew what was happening, my system's
memory was completely exhausted, and I had to hard reboot to recover.
This PR fixes this problem by working directly with the pipeline stream,
inserting into the DB as values are read from the stream.
In order to facilitate working with the stream directly, I introduced a
new `Table` struct to store the connection and a few configuration
parameters, as well as to make it easier to lazily create the table on
the first read value.
In addition to the purely functional fixes, a few other changes were
made to the serialization and user facing behavior.
### Serialization
Much of the preexisting code was focused on generating the exact text
needed for a SQL statement. This is unneeded and less safe than using
the `rusqlite` crate's serialization for native Rust types along with
prepared statements.
### User-Facing Changes
Currently, the command is very liberal in the input types it accepts.
The strategy is basically if it is a record, try to follow its structure
and make an analogous SQL row, which is pretty reasonable. However, when
it's not a record, it basically tries to guess what the user wanted and
just makes a single column table and serializes the value into that one
column, whatever type it may be.
This has been changed so that it only accepts records as input. If the
user wants to serialize non-record types into SQL, then they must
explicitly opt into doing this by constructing a record or table with it
first. For a utility for inserting data into SQL, I think it makes more
sense to let the user choose how to convert their data, rather than make
a choice for them that may surprise them.
However, I understand this may be a controversial change. If the
maintainers don't agree, I can change this back.
#### Long switch names
The `file_name` and `table_name` long form switches are currently
snake_case and expect to be as such at the command line. These have been
changed to kebab-case to be more conventional.
# Tests + Formatting
To test the memory consumption, I used [this publicly available index of
all Wikipedia articles](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20230820/),
using the first 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 entries, in that order. I
ran the following script to benchmark the changes against the current
stable release:
```nu
#!/usr/bin/nu
# let shellbin = $"($env.HOME)/src/nushell/target/aarch64-linux-android/release/nu"
let shellbin = "nu"
const dbpath = 'enwiki-index.db'
[10000, 100000, 1000000]
| each {|rows|
rm -f $dbpath;
do { time -f '%M %e %U %S' $shellbin -c (
$"bzip2 -cdk ~/enwiki-20230820-pages-articles-multistream-index.txt.bz2
| head -n ($rows)
| lines
| parse '{offset}:{id}:{title}'
| update cells -c [offset, id] { into int }
| into sqlite ($dbpath)"
)
}
| complete
| get stderr
| str trim
| parse '{rss_max} {real} {user} {kernel}'
| update cells -c [rss_max] { $"($in)kb" | into filesize }
| update cells -c [real, user, kernel] { $"($in)sec" | into duration }
| insert rows $rows
| roll right
}
| flatten
| to nuon
```
This yields the following results

# Note
I started this branch kind of at the same time as my others, but I
understand the feedback that smaller PRs are preferred. Let me know if
it would be better to split this up.
I do think the scope of the changes are on the bigger side even without
the behavior changes I mentioned, so I'm not sure if that will help this
particular PR very much, but I'm happy to oblige on request.
