- Removed `module` argument from `enso_project` (new `Project_Description.new` API).
- Removed the custom option from date and time parse/format dropdowns.
- The `format` dropdown uses the value to create the dropdown. (Screenshot below)
- Removed `StorageType` coalescing rules and replaced them with simpler logic in `ObjectStorage`.
- Update signature for `add_row_number` and add aliases.
- Add type detection for `Mixed` columns when calling column functions.
- Excel uses column name for missing headers.
- Add aliases for parse functions on text.
- Adjust `Date`, `Time_Of_Day` and `Date_Time` parse functions to not take `Nothing` anymore and provide dropdowns.
- Removed built-in parses.
- All support Locale.
- Add support for missing day or year for parsing a Date.
- All will trim values automatically.
- Added ability to list AWS profiles.
- Added ability to list S3 buckets.
- Workaround for Table.aggregate so default item added works.
Related to #6912
It essentially solves it by removing any builtins that would take an EnsoDate/EnsoTimeOfDay/EnsoTimeZone and replacing them with Java utils that do the same operation.
This is not a proper solution - the builtin conversion is still invalid for the date/time types - but at this moment we may just no longer use the invalid conversion so it is much less of an issue. We still need to be aware of this if we want to introduce builtins taking date/time in the future.
Closes#5227
# Important Notes
- This lays first steps towards #6292 - we get pure Enso variants of MultiValueKey.
- Another part refactors `LongStorage` into `AbstractLongStorage` allowing it to provide alternative implementations of the underlying storage, in our case `LongRangeStorage` generating the values ad-hoc and `LongConstantStorage` - currently unused but in the future it can be adapted to support constant columns (once we implement similar facilities for other types).
Add format to the in-memory Column
# Important Notes
Also updates .format in date types.
Some rearrangement of date formatting builtins / Java libraries.
- Add dropdown to tokenize and split `column`.
- Remove the custom `Join_Kind` dropdown.
- Adjust split and tokenize names to start numbering from 1, not 0.
- Add JS_Object serialization for Period.
- Add `days_until` and `until` to `Date`.
- Add `Date_Period.Day` and create `next` and `previous` on `Date`.
- Use simple names with `File_Format` dropdown.
- Avoid using `Main.enso` based imports in `Standard.Base.Data.Map` and `Standard.Base.Data.Text.Helpers`.
- Remove an incorrect import from `Standard.Database.Data.Table`.
From #6587:
A few small changes, lots of lines because this affected lots of tests:
- `Table.join` now defaults to `Join_Kind.Left_Outer`, to avoid losing rows in the left table unexpectedly. If the user really wants to have an Inner join, they can switch to it.
- `Table.join` now defaults to joining columns by name not by index - it looks in the right table for a column with the same name as the first column in left table.
- Missing Input Column errors now specify which table they refer to in the join.
- The unique name suffix in column renaming / default column names when loading from file is now a space instead of underscore.
- Adjusted `Context.is_enabled` to support default argument (moved built in so can have defaults).
- Made `environment` case-insensitive.
- Bug fix for play button.
- Short hand to execute within an enabled context.
- Forbid file writing if the Output context is disabled with a `Forbidden_Operation` error.
- Add temporary file support via `File.create_temporary_file` which is deleted on exit of JVM.
- Execution Context first pass in `Text.write`.
- Added dry run warning.
- Writes to a temporary file if disabled.
- Created a `DryRunFileManager` which will create and manage the temporary files.
- Added `format` dropdown to `File.read` and `Data.read`.
- Renamed `JSON_File` to `JSON_Format` to be consistent.
(still to unit test).
* Rename makeUnique overloads to avoid issue when Nothing is passed.
Suspend warnings when building the output table to avoid mass warning duplication.
* Add test for mixed invalid names.
Adjust so a single warning attached.
* PR comments.
Follow up of #6298 as it grew too much. Adds the needed typechecks to aggregate operations. Ensures that the DB operations report `Floating_Point_Equality` warning consistently with in-memory.
- Add `replace` with same syntax as on `Text` to an in-memory `Column`.
- Add `trim` with same syntax as on `Text` to an in-memory `Column`.
- Add `trim` to in-database `Column`.
- Added `is_supported` to dialects and exposed the dialect consistently on the `Connection`.
- Add `write_table` support to `JSON_File` allowing `Table.write` to write JSON.
- Updated the parsing for integers and decimals:
- Support for currency symbols.
- Support for brackets for negative numbers.
- Automatic detection of decimal points and thousand separators.
- Tighter rules for scientific and thousand separated numbers.
- Remove `replace_text` from `Table`.
- Remove `write_json` from `Table`.
- `Process.run` now returns a `Process_Result` allowing the easy capture of stdout and stderr.
- Joining a column with a column name does not warn if adding just the prefix.
- Stop the table viz from changing case and adding spaces to the headers.
This is the first part of the #5158 umbrella task. It closes#5158, follow-up tasks are listed as a comment in the issue.
- Updates all prototype methods dealing with `Value_Type` with a proper implementation.
- Adds a more precise mapping from in-memory storage to `Value_Type`.
- Adds a dialect-dependent mapping between `SQL_Type` and `Value_Type`.
- Removes obsolete methods and constants on `SQL_Type` that were not portable.
- Ensures that in the Database backend, operation results are computed based on what the Database is meaning to return (by asking the Database about expected types of each operation).
- But also ensures that the result types are sane.
- While SQLite does not officially support a BOOLEAN affinity, we add a set of type overrides to our operations to ensure that Boolean operations will return Boolean values and will not be changed to integers as SQLite would suggest.
- Some methods in SQLite fallback to a NUMERIC affinity unnecessarily, so stuff like `max(text, text)` will keep the `text` type instead of falling back to numeric as SQLite would suggest.
- Adds ability to use custom fetch / builder logic for various types, so that we can support vendor specific types (for example, Postgres dates).
# Important Notes
- There are some TODOs left in the code. I'm still aligning follow-up tasks - once done I will try to add references to relevant tasks in them.
Enables `distinct`, `aggregate` and `cross_tab` to use the Enso hashing and equality operations.
Also, I rewired the way the ObjectComparators are obtained in polyglot code to be more consistent.
Add Comparator for `Day_Of_Week`, `Header`, `SQL_Type`, `Image` and `Matrix`.
Also, removed the custom `==` from these types as needed. (Closes#5626)
Closes#5151 and adds some additional tests for `cross_tab` that verify duplicated and invalid names.
I decided that for empty or `Nothing` names, instead of replacing them with `Column` and implicitly losing connection with the value that was in the column, we should just error on such values.
To make handling of these easier, `fill_empty` was added allowing to easily replace the empty values with something else.
Also, `{is,fill}_missing` was renamed to `{is,fill}_nothing` to align with `Filter_Condition.Is_Nothing`.
Adds a common project that allows sharing code between the `runtime` and `std-bits`.
Due to classpath separation and the way it is compiled, the classes will be duplicated - we will have one copy for the `runtime` classpath and another copy as a small JAR for `Standard.Base` library.
This is still much better than having the code duplicated - now at least we have a single source of truth for the shared implementations.
Due to the copying we should not expand this project too much, but I encourage to put here any methods that would otherwise require us to copy the code itself.
This may be a good place to put parts of the hashing logic to then allow sharing the logic between the `runtime` and the `MultiValueKey` in the `Table` library (cc: @Akirathan).
Follow-up to #5113 - I add some more edge case tests as we discussed with @jdunkerley
When debugging some quoting issues, I also realised the current `Mismatched_Quote` error provided not enough information. So I amended it to at least include some context indicating which was the 'offending' cell.
- Fix issue with Geo Map viz.
- Handle invalid format strings better in `Data_Formatter`.
- New constants for the ISO format strings (and a special ENSO_ZONED_DATE_TIME)
- Consistent Date Time format for parsing in all places.
- Avoid throwing exception in datetime parsing.
- Support for milliseconds (well nanoseconds) in Date_Time and Time_Of_Day.
- `Column.map` stays within Enso.
- Allow `Aggregate_Column.Group_By` in `cross_tab` group_by parameter.
Closes#5113
Fixes a bug where read-only files would be overwritten if File.write was used in backup mode, and added tests to avoid such regression. To implement it, introduced a `is_writable` property on `File`.
- Adjust Excel Workbook write behaviour.
- Support Nothing / Null constants.
- Deduce the type of arithmetic operations and `iif`.
- Allow Date_Time constants, treating as local timezone.
- Removed the `to_column_name` and `ensure_sane_name` code.
- Updates the `rename_columns` API.
- Add `first_row`, `second_row` and `last_row` to the Table types.
- New option for reading only last row of ResultSet.
- Updated `Widget.Vector_Editor` ready for use by IDE team.
- Added `get` to `Row` to make API more aligned.
- Added `first_column`, `second_column` and `last_column` to `Table` APIs.
- Adjusted `Column_Selector` and associated methods to have simpler API.
- Removed `Column` from `Aggregate_Column` constructors.
- Added new `Excel_Workbook` type and added to `Excel_Section`.
- Added new `SQLiteFormatSPI` and `SQLite_Format`.
- Added new `IamgeFormatSPI` and `Image_Format`.
Closes#5109
# Important Notes
- Currently the tests pass for the in-memory parts of Common_Table_Operations, but still some stuff not working on DB backends - in progress.
- Fixes the display of Date, Time_Of_Day and Date_Time so doesn't wrap.
- Adjust serialization of large integer values for JS and display within table.
- Workaround for issue with using `.lines` in the Table (new bug filed).
- Disabled warning on no specified `separator` on `Concatenate`.
Does not include fix for aggregation on integer values outside of `long` range.
Fixes https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/184073099
# Important Notes
- Since now the only operator on columns for division, `/`, returns floats, it may be worth creating an additional `div` operator exposing integer division. But that will be done as a separate task aligning column operator APIs.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/184032869
# Important Notes
- Currently we get failures in Full joins on Postgres which show a more serious problem - amending equality to ensure that `[NULL = NULL] == True` breaks hash/merge based indexing - so such joins will be extremely inefficient. All our joins currently rely on this notion of equality which will mean all of our DB joins will be extremely inefficient.
- We need to find a solution that will support nulls and still work OK with indices (but after exploring a few approaches: `COALESCE(a = b, a IS NULL AND b is NULL)`, `a IS NOT DISTINCT FROM b`, `(a = b) OR (a IS NULL AND b is NULL)`; all of which did not work (they all result in `ERROR: FULL JOIN is only supported with merge-joinable or hash-joinable join conditions`) I'm less certain that it is possible. Alternatively, we may need to change the NULL semantics to align it with SQL - this seems like likely the simpler solution, allowing us to generate simple, reliable SQL - the NULL=NULL solution will be cornering us into nasty workarounds very dependent on the particular backend.
PR adds a flag to `Text` implementation tracking whether it is in a FCD normal form. Then this information can be used in the `Normalizer.compare` method.

Implements `getMetaObject` and related messages from Truffle interop for Enso values and types. Turns `Meta.is_a` into builtin and re-uses the same functionality.
# Important Notes
Adds `ValueGenerator` testing infrastructure to provide unified access to special Enso values and builtin types that can be reused by other tests, not just `MetaIsATest` and `MetaObjectTest`.
Use JavaScript to parse and serialise to JSON. Parses to native Enso object.
- `.to_json` now returns a `Text` of the JSON.
- Json methods now `parse`, `stringify` and `from_pairs`.
- New `JSON_Object` representing a JavaScript Object.
- `.to_js_object` allows for types to custom serialize. Returning a `JS_Object`.
- Default JSON format for Atom now has a `type` and `constructor` property (or method to call for as needed to deserialise).
- Removed `.into` support for now.
- Added JSON File Format and SPI to allow `Data.read` to work.
- Added `Data.fetch` API for easy Web download.
- Default visualization for JS Object trunctes, and made Vector default truncate children too.
Fixes defect where types with no constructor crashed on `to_json` (e.g. `Matching_Mode.Last.to_json`.
Adjusted default visualisation for Vector, so it doesn't serialise an array of arrays forever.
Likewise, JS_Object default visualisation is truncated to a small subset.
New convention:
- `.get` returns `Nothing` if a key or index is not present. Takes an `other` argument allowing control of default.
- `.at` error if key or index is not present.
- `Nothing` gains a `get` method allowing for easy propagation.
- Implemented https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183913276
- Refactored MultiValueIndex and MultiValueKeys to be more type-safe and more direct about using ordered or unordered maps.
- Added performance tests ensuring we use an efficient algorithm for the joins (the tests will fail for a full O(N*M) scan).
- Removed some duplicate code in the Table library.
- Added optional coloring of test results in terminal to make failures easier to spot.
- Aligned `compare_to` so returns `Type_Error` if `that` is wrong type for `Text`, `Ordering` and `Duration`.
- Add `empty_object`, `empty_array`. `get_or_else`, `at`, `field_names` and `length` to `Json`.
- Fix `Json` serialisation of NaN and Infinity (to "null").
- Added `length`, `at` and `to_vector` to Pair (allowing it to be treated as a Vector).
- Added `running_fold` to the `Vector` and `Range`.
- Added `first` and `last` to the `Vector.Builder`.
- Allow `order_by` to take a single `Sort_Column` or have a mix of `Text` and `Sort_Column.Name` in a `Vector`.
- Allow `select_columns_helper` to take a `Text` value. Allows for a single field in group_by in cross_tab.
- Added `Patch` and `Custom` to HTTP_Method.
- Added running `Statistic` calculation and moved more of the logic from Java to Enso. Performance seems similar to pure Java version now.
- Moved `Any`, `Error` and `Panic` to `Standard.Base`.
- Separated `Json` and `Range` extensions into own modules.
- Tidied `Case`, `Case_Sensitivity`, `Encoding`, `Matching`, `Regex_Matcher`, `Span`, `Text_Matcher`, `Text_Ordering` and `Text_Sub_Range` in `Standard.Base.Data.Text`.
- Tidied `Standard.Base.Data.Text.Extensions` and stopped it re-exporting anything.
- Tidied `Regex_Mode`. Renamed `Option` to `Regex_Option` and added type to export.
- Tidied up `Regex` space.
- Tidied up `Meta` space.
- Remove `Matching` from export.
- Moved `Standard.Base.Data.Boolean` to `Standard.Base.Boolean`.
# Important Notes
- Moved `to_json` and `to_default_visualization_data` from base types to extension methods.
- Adds transpose and cross_tab to the In-Memory table.
- Cross Tab is built on top of aggregate and hence allows for expressions and has same error trapping as in aggregate.
# Important Notes
Only basic tests have been implemented. Error and warning tests will be added as a follow up task.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183854123
It features a naive full scan join and only allows equality conditions. More advanced conditions and better optimized algorithms will be implemented in a subsequent PR.
Manual implementation of vector builder that avoid any copying (if the initial `capacity` is exact). Moreover the builder optimizes for storage of `double` and `long` values - if the array homogeneously consists of these values, then no boxing happens and only primitive types are stored.
# Important Notes
Added few tests to [Vector_Spec.enso](76d2f38247).
Computing length of a text takes time. Let's cache it after first computation.
# Important Notes
Wrote `StringBenchmarks` that sums lengths of (the same) `Text` present many time in a `Vector`. Initially it took `383.673 ms` per operation. Then it took `0.031 ms/op`. Looks like the `length` calls are returning instantly as they get cached.
- Added expression ANTLR4 grammar and sbt based build.
- Added expression support to `set` and `filter` on the Database and InMemory `Table`.
- Added expression support to `aggregate` on the Database and InMemory `Table`.
- Removed old aggregate functions (`sum`, `max`, `min` and `mean`) from `Column` types.
- Adjusted database `Column` `+` operator to do concatenation (`||`) when text types.
- Added power operator `^` to both `Column` types.
- Adjust `iif` to allow for columns to be passed for `when_true` and `when_false` parameters.
- Added `is_present` to database `Column` type.
- Added `coalesce`, `min` and `max` functions to both `Column` types performing row based operation.
- Added support for `Date`, `Time_Of_Day` and `Date_Time` constants in database.
- Added `read` method to InMemory `Column` returning `self` (or a slice).
# Important Notes
- Moved approximate type computation to `SQL_Type`.
- Fixed issue in `LongNumericOp` where it was always casting to a double.
- Removed `head` from InMemory Table (still has `first` method).
This PR adds `Period` type, which is a date-only complement to `Duration` builtin type.
# Important Notes
- `Period` replaces `Date_Period`, and `Time_Period`.
- Added shorthand constructors for `Duration` and `Period`. For example: `Period.days 10` instead of `Period.new days=10`.
- `Period` can be compared to other `Period` in some cases, other cases throw an error.
- Reimplement the `Duration` type to a built-in type.
- `Duration` is an interop type.
- Allow Enso method dispatch on `Duration` interop coming from different languages.
# Important Notes
- The older `Duration` type should now be split into new `Duration` builtin type and a `Period` type.
- This PR does not implement `Period` type, so all the `Period`-related functionality is currently not working, e.g., `Date - Period`.
- This PR removes `Integer.milliseconds`, `Integer.seconds`, ..., `Integer.years` extension methods.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183402892
# Important Notes
- Fixes inconsistent `compare_to` vs `==` behaviour in date/time types and adds test for that.
- Adds test for `Table.order_by` on dates and custom types.
- Fixes an issue with `Table.order_by` for custom types.
- Unifies how incomparable objects are reported by `Table.order_by` and `Vector.sort`.
- Adds benchmarks comparing `Table.order_by` and `Vector.sort` performance.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183082087
# Important Notes
- Removed unnecessary invocations of `Error.throw` improving performance of `Vector.distinct`. The time of the `add_work_days and work_days_until should be consistent with each other` test suite came down from 15s to 3s after the changes.
Resolves https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183285801
@JaroslavTulach suggested the current implementation may not handle these correctly, which suggests that the logic is not completely trivial - so I added a test to ensure that it works as we'd expect. Fortunately, it did work - but it's good to keep the tests to avoid regressions.
`Vector` type is now a builtin type. This requires a bunch of additional builtin methods for its creation:
- Use `Vector.from_array` to convert any array-like structure into a `Vector` [by copy](f628b28f5f)
- Use (already existing) `Vector.from_polyglot_array` to convert any array-like structure into a `Vector` **without** copying
- Use (already existing) `Vector.fill 1 item` to create a singleton `Vector`
Additional, for pattern matching purposes, we had to implement a `VectorBranchNode`. Use following to match on `x` being an instance of `Vector` type:
```
import Standard.Base.Data.Vector
size = case x of
Vector.Vector -> x.length
_ -> 0
```
Finally, `VectorLiterals` pass that transforms `[1,2,3]` to (roughly)
```
a1 = 1
a2 = 2
a3 = 3
Vector (Array (a1,a2, a3))
```
had to be modified to generate
```
a1 = 1
a2 = 2
a3 = 3
Vector.from_array (Array (a1, a2, a3))
```
instead to accomodate to the API changes. As of 025acaa676 all the known CI checks passes. Let's start the review.
# Important Notes
Matching in `case` statement is currently done via `Vector_Data`. Use:
```
case x of
Vector.Vector_Data -> True
```
until a better alternative is found.
- Added `databases`, `database`, `set_database`.
- Added `schemas`, `schema`, `set_schema`.
- Added `table_types`,
- Added `tables`.
- Moved the vast majority of the connection work into a lower level `JDBC_Connection` object.
- `Connection` represents the standard API for database connections and provides a base JDBC implementation.
- `SQLite_Connection` has the `Connection` API but with custom `databases` and `schemas` methods for SQLite.
- `Postgres_Connection` has the `Connection` API but with custom `set_database`, `databases`, `set_schema` and `schemas` methods for Postgres.
- Updated `Redshift` - no public API change.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/182307143
# Important Notes
- Modified standard library Java helpers dependencies so that `std-table` module depends on `std-base`, as a provided dependency. This is allowed, because `std-table` is used by the `Standard.Table` Enso module which depends on `Standard.Base` which ensures that the `std-base` is loaded onto the classpath, thus whenever `std-table` is loaded by `Standard.Table`, so is `std-base`. Thus we can rely on classes from `std-base` and its dependencies being _provided_ on the classpath. Thanks to that we can use utilities like `Text_Utils` also in `std-table`, avoiding code duplication. Additional advantage of that is that we don't need to specify ICU4J as a separate dependency for `std-table`, since it is 'taken' from `std-base` already - so we avoid including it in our build packages twice.
Many aggregation types fell back to the general `Any` type where they could have used the type of input column - for example `First` of a column of integers is guaranteed to fit the `Integer` storage type, so it doesn't have to fall back to `Any`. This PR fixes that and adds a test that checks this.
- Added `Zone`, `Date_Time` and `Time_Of_Day` to `Standard.Base`.
- Renamed `Zone` to `Time_Zone`.
- Added `century`.
- Added `is_leap_year`.
- Added `length_of_year`.
- Added `length_of_month`.
- Added `quarter`.
- Added `day_of_year`.
- Added `Day_Of_Week` type and `day_of_week` function.
- Updated `week_of_year` to support ISO.
# Important Notes
- Had to pass locale to formatter for date/time tests to work on my PC.
- Changed default of `week_of_year` to use ISO.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/182879865
# Important Notes
Note that removing `set_at` still does not make our arrays fully immutable - `Array.copy` can still be used to mutate them.
* Builtin Date_Time, Time_Of_Day, Zone
Improved polyglot support for Date_Time (formerly Time), Time_Of_Day and
Zone. This follows the pattern introduced for Enso Date.
Minor caveat - in tests for Date, had to bend a lot for JS Date to pass.
This is because JS Date is not really only a Date, but also a Time and
Timezone, previously we just didn't consider the latter.
Also, JS Date does not deal well with setting timezones so the trick I
used is to first call foreign function returning a polyglot JS Date,
which is converted to ZonedDateTime and only then set the correct
timezone. That way none of the existing tests had to be changes or
special cased.
Additionally, JS deals with milliseconds rather than nanoseconds so
there is loss in precision, as noted in Time_Spec.
* Add tests for Java's LocalTime
* changelog
* Make date formatters in table happy
* PR review, add more tests for zone
* More tests and fixed a bug in column reader
Column reader didn't take into account timezone but that was a mistake
since then it wouldn't map to Enso's Date_Time.
Added tests that check it now.
* remove redundant conversion
* Update distribution/lib/Standard/Base/0.0.0-dev/src/Data/Time.enso

Adds least squares regression APIs. Covers the basic 4 trend line types from Excel (doesn't cover Polynomial or Moving Average).
Removes the old `Model` from the `Standard.Table`.
Significantly improves the polyglot Date support (as introduced by #3374). It enhances the `Date_Spec` to run it in four flavors:
- with Enso Date (as of now)
- with JavaScript Date
- with JavaScript Date wrapped in (JavaScript) array
- with Java LocalDate allocated directly
The code is then improved by necessary modifications to make the `Date_Spec` pass.
# Important Notes
James has requested in [#181755990](https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/2539304/stories/181755990) - e.g. _Review and improve InMemory Table support for Dates, Times, DateTimes, BigIntegers_ the following program to work:
```
foreign js dateArr = """
return [1, new Date(), 7]
main =
IO.println <| (dateArr.at 1).week_of_year
```
the program works with here in provided changes and prints `27` as of today.
@jdunkerley has provided tests for proper behavior of date in `Table` and `Column`. Those tests are working as of [f16d07e](f16d07e640). One just needs to accept `List<Value>` and then query `Value` for `isDate()` when needed.
Last round of changes is related to **exception handling**. 8b686b12bd makes sure `makePolyglotError` accepts only polyglot values. Then it wraps plain Java exceptions into `WrapPlainException` with `has_type` method - 60da5e70ed - the remaining changes in the PR are only trying to get all tests working in the new setup.
The support for `Time` isn't part of this PR yet.
Updates `write_bytes` API to be part of `Vector` and to conform to `write` APIs.
# Important Notes
Ensures doesn't touch the file if an invalid byte array.
Add some additional scenarios to Excel append tests:
- Non-A1 start
- Name duplication
- Hitting another range
# Important Notes
Also fixed a warning in the Image library.
