    ** The query generator uses an array of instances of this structure to
    ** help it analyze the subexpressions of the WHERE clause.  Each WHERE
    ** clause subexpression is separated from the others by AND operators,
    ** usually, or sometimes subexpressions separated by OR.
    **
    ** All WhereTerms are collected into a single WhereClause structure.
    ** The following identity holds:
    **
    **        WhereTerm.pWC.a[WhereTerm.idx] == WhereTerm
    **
    ** When a term is of the form:
    **
    **              X <op> <expr>
    **
    ** where X is a column name and <op> is one of certain operators,
    ** then WhereTerm.leftCursor and WhereTerm.u.leftColumn record the
    ** cursor number and column number for X.  WhereTerm.eOperator records
    ** the <op> using a bitmask encoding defined by WO_xxx below.  The
    ** use of a bitmask encoding for the operator allows us to search
    ** quickly for terms that match any of several different operators.
    **
    ** A WhereTerm might also be two or more subterms connected by OR:
    **
    **         (t1.X <op> <expr>) OR (t1.Y <op> <expr>) OR ....
    **
    ** In this second case, wtFlag as the TERM_ORINFO set and eOperator==WO_OR
    ** and the WhereTerm.u.pOrInfo field points to auxiliary information that
    ** is collected about the
    **
    ** If a term in the WHERE clause does not match either of the two previous
    ** categories, then eOperator==0.  The WhereTerm.pExpr field is still set
    ** to the original subexpression content and wtFlags is set up appropriately
    ** but no other fields in the WhereTerm object are meaningful.
    **
    ** When eOperator!=0, prereqRight and prereqAll record sets of cursor numbers,
    ** but they do so indirectly.  A single WhereMaskSet structure translates
    ** cursor number into bits and the translated bit is stored in the prereq
    ** fields.  The translation is used in order to maximize the number of
    ** bits that will fit in a Bitmask.  The VDBE cursor numbers might be
    ** spread out over the non-negative integers.  For example, the cursor
    ** numbers might be 3, 8, 9, 10, 20, 23, 41, and 45.  The WhereMaskSet
    ** translates these sparse cursor numbers into consecutive integers
    ** beginning with 0 in order to make the best possible use of the available
    ** bits in the Bitmask.  So, in the example above, the cursor numbers
    ** would be mapped into integers 0 through 7.
    **
    ** The number of terms in a join is limited by the number of bits
    ** in prereqRight and prereqAll.  The default is 64 bits, hence SQLite
    ** is only able to process joins with 64 or fewer tables.

**     (A)     t1.x=t2.y OR t1.x=t2.z OR t1.y=15 OR t1.z=t3.a+5
**     (B)     x=expr1 OR expr2=x OR x=expr3
**     (C)     t1.x=t2.y OR (t1.x=t2.z AND t1.y=15)
**     (D)     x=expr1 OR (y>11 AND y<22 AND z LIKE '*hello*')
**     (E)     (p.a=1 AND q.b=2 AND r.c=3) OR (p.x=4 AND q.y=5 AND r.z=6)
**
** CASE 1:
**
** If all subterms are of the form T.C=expr for some single column of C
** a single table T (as shown in example B above) then create a new virtual
** term that is an equivalent IN expression.  In other words, if the term
** being analyzed is:
**
**      x = expr1  OR  expr2 = x  OR  x = expr3
**
** then create a new virtual term like this:
**
**      x IN (expr1,expr2,expr3)
**
** CASE 2:
**
** If all subterms are indexable by a single table T, then set
**
**     WhereTerm.eOperator              =  WO_OR
**     WhereTerm.u.pOrInfo.indexable  |=  the cursor number for table T
**
** A subterm is "indexable" if it is of the form
** "T.C <op> <expr>" where C is any column of table T and
** <op> is one of "=", "<", "<=", ">", ">=", "IS NULL", or "IN".
** A subterm is also indexable if it is an AND of two or more
** subsubterms at least one of which is indexable.  Indexable AND
** subterms have their eOperator set to WO_AND and they have
** u.pAndInfo set to a dynamically allocated WhereAndTerm object.
**
** From another point of view, "indexable" means that the subterm could
** potentially be used with an index if an appropriate index exists.
** This analysis does not consider whether or not the index exists; that
** is something the bestIndex() routine will determine.  This analysis
** only looks at whether subterms appropriate for indexing exist.
**
** All examples A through E above all satisfy case 2.  But if a term
** also statisfies case 1 (such as B) we know that the optimizer will
** always prefer case 1, so in that case we pretend that case 2 is not
** satisfied.
**
** It might be the case that multiple tables are indexable.  For example,
** (E) above is indexable on tables P, Q, and R.
**
** Terms that satisfy case 2 are candidates for lookup by using
** separate indices to find rowids for each subterm and composing
** the union of all rowids using a RowSet object.  This is similar
** to "bitmap indices" in other data_base engines.
**
** OTHERWISE:
**
** If neither case 1 nor case 2 apply, then leave the eOperator set to
** zero.  This term is not useful for search.

** This function is used to estimate the number of rows that will be visited
** by scanning an index for a range of values. The range may have an upper
** bound, a lower bound, or both. The WHERE clause terms that set the upper
** and lower bounds are represented by pLower and pUpper respectively. For
** example, assuming that index p is on t1(a):
**
**   ... FROM t1 WHERE a > ? AND a < ? ...
**                    |_____|   |_____|
**                       |         |
**                     pLower    pUpper
**
** If either of the upper or lower bound is not present, then NULL is passed in
** place of the corresponding WhereTerm.
**
** The nEq parameter is passed the index of the index column subject to the
** range constraint. Or, equivalently, the number of equality constraints
** optimized by the proposed index scan. For example, assuming index p is
** on t1(a, b), and the SQL query is:
**
**   ... FROM t1 WHERE a = ? AND b > ? AND b < ? ...
**
** then nEq should be passed the value 1 (as the range restricted column,
** b, is the second left-most column of the index). Or, if the query is:
**
**   ... FROM t1 WHERE a > ? AND a < ? ...
**
** then nEq should be passed 0.
**
** The returned value is an integer between 1 and 100, inclusive. A return
** value of 1 indicates that the proposed range scan is expected to visit
** approximately 1/100th (1%) of the rows selected by the nEq equality
** constraints (if any). A return value of 100 indicates that it is expected
** that the range scan will visit every row (100%) selected by the equality
** constraints.
**
** In the absence of sqlite_stat2 ANALYZE data, each range inequality
** reduces the search space by 3/4ths.  Hence a single constraint (x>?)
** results in a return of 25 and a range constraint (x>? AND x<?) results
** in a return of 6.

        **    In other words, the number of initial fields in the index that
        **    are used in == or IN or NOT NULL constraints of the WHERE clause.
        **
        **  nInMul:  
        **    The "in-multiplier". This is an estimate of how many seek operations 
        **    SQLite must perform on the index in question. For example, if the 
        **    WHERE clause is:
        **
        **      WHERE a IN (1, 2, 3) AND b IN (4, 5, 6)
        **
        **    SQLite must perform 9 lookups on an index on (a, b), so nInMul is 
        **    set to 9. Given the same schema and either of the following WHERE 
        **    clauses:
        **
        **      WHERE a =  1
        **      WHERE a >= 2
        **
        **    nInMul is set to 1.
        **
        **    If there exists a WHERE term of the form "x IN (SELECT ...)", then 
        **    the sub-select is assumed to return 25 rows for the purposes of 
        **    determining nInMul.
        **
        **  bInEst:  
        **    Set to true if there was at least one "x IN (SELECT ...)" term used 
        **    in determining the value of nInMul.  Note that the RHS of the
        **    IN operator must be a SELECT, not a value list, for this variable
        **    to be true.
        **
        **  estBound:
        **    An estimate on the amount of the table that must be searched.  A
        **    value of 100 means the entire table is searched.  Range constraints
        **    might reduce this to a value less than 100 to indicate that only
        **    a fraction of the table needs searching.  In the absence of
        **    sqlite_stat2 ANALYZE data, a single inequality reduces the search
        **    space to 1/4rd its original size.  So an x>? constraint reduces
        **    estBound to 25.  Two constraints (x>? AND x<?) reduce estBound to 6.
        **
        **  bSort:   
        **    Boolean. True if there is an ORDER BY clause that will require an 
        **    external sort (i.e. scanning the index being evaluated will not 
        **    correctly order records).
        **
        **  bLookup: 
        **    Boolean. True if a table lookup is required for each index entry
        **    visited.  In other words, true if this is not a covering index.
        **    This is always false for the rowid primary key index of a table.
        **    For other indexes, it is true unless all the columns of the table
        **    used by the SELECT statement are present in the index (such an
        **    index is sometimes described as a covering index).
        **    For example, given the index on (a, b), the second of the following 
        **    two queries requires table b-tree lookups in order to find the value
        **    of column c, but the first does not because columns a and b are
        **    both available in the index.
        **
        **             SELECT a, b    FROM tbl WHERE a = 1;

    ** Generate the beginning of the loop used for WHERE clause processing.

    ** information needed to terminate the loop.  Later, the calling routine
    ** should invoke sqlite3WhereEnd() with the return value of this function
    ** in order to complete the WHERE clause processing.
    **
    ** If an error occurs, this routine returns NULL.
    **
    ** The basic idea is to do a nested loop, one loop for each table in
    ** the FROM clause of a select.  (INSERT and UPDATE statements are the
    ** same as a SELECT with only a single table in the FROM clause.)  For
    ** example, if the SQL is this:
    **
    **       SELECT * FROM t1, t2, t3 WHERE ...;
    **
    ** Then the code generated is conceptually like the following:
    **
    **      foreach row1 in t1 do       \    Code generated
    **        foreach row2 in t2 do      |-- by sqlite3WhereBegin()
    **          foreach row3 in t3 do   /
    **            ...
    **          end                     \    Code generated
    **        end                        |-- by sqlite3WhereEnd()
    **      end                         /
    **
    ** Note that the loops might not be nested in the order in which they
    ** appear in the FROM clause if a different order is better able to make
    ** use of indices.  Note also that when the IN operator appears in
    ** the WHERE clause, it might result in additional nested loops for
    ** scanning through all values on the right-hand side of the IN.
    **
    ** There are Btree cursors Debug.Associated with each table.  t1 uses cursor
    ** number pTabList.a[0].iCursor.  t2 uses the cursor pTabList.a[1].iCursor.
    ** And so forth.  This routine generates code to open those VDBE cursors
    ** and sqlite3WhereEnd() generates the code to close them.
    **
    ** The code that sqlite3WhereBegin() generates leaves the cursors named
    ** in pTabList pointing at their appropriate entries.  The [...] code
    ** can use OP_Column and OP_Rowid opcodes on these cursors to extract
    ** data from the various tables of the loop.
    **
    ** If the WHERE clause is empty, the foreach loops must each scan their
    ** entire tables.  Thus a three-way join is an O(N^3) operation.  But if
    ** the tables have indices and there are terms in the WHERE clause that
    ** refer to those indices, a complete table scan can be avoided and the
    ** code will run much faster.  Most of the work of this routine is checking
    ** to see if there are indices that can be used to speed up the loop.
    **
    ** Terms of the WHERE clause are also used to limit which rows actually
    ** make it to the "..." in the middle of the loop.  After each "foreach",
    ** terms of the WHERE clause that use only terms in that loop and outer
    ** loops are evaluated and if false a jump is made around all subsequent
    ** inner loops (or around the "..." if the test occurs within the inner-
    ** most loop)
    **
    ** OUTER JOINS
    **
    ** An outer join of tables t1 and t2 is conceptally coded as follows:
    **
    **    foreach row1 in t1 do
    **      flag = 0
    **      foreach row2 in t2 do
    **        start:
    **          ...
    **          flag = 1
    **      end
    **      if flag==null then
    **        move the row2 cursor to a null row
    **        goto start
    **      fi
    **    end
    **
    ** ORDER BY CLAUSE PROCESSING
    **
    ** ppOrderBy is a pointer to the ORDER BY clause of a SELECT statement,
    ** if there is one.  If there is no ORDER BY clause or if this routine
    ** is called from an UPDATE or DELETE statement, then ppOrderBy is NULL.
    **
    ** If an index can be used so that the natural output order of the table
    ** scan is correct for the ORDER BY clause, then that index is used and
    ** ppOrderBy is set to NULL.  This is an optimization that prevents an
    ** unnecessary sort of the result set if an index appropriate for the
    ** ORDER BY clause already exists.
    **
    ** If the where clause loops cannot be arranged to provide the correct
    ** output order, then the ppOrderBy is unchanged.

        /* Loop through the remaining entries in the FROM clause to find the
** next nested loop. The loop tests all FROM clause entries
** either once or twice. 
**
** The first test is always performed if there are two or more entries
** remaining and never performed if there is only one FROM clause entry
** to choose from.  The first test looks for an "optimal" scan.  In
** this context an optimal scan is one that uses the same strategy
** for the given FROM clause entry as would be selected if the entry
** were used as the innermost nested loop.  In other words, a table
** is chosen such that the cost of running that table cannot be reduced
** by waiting for other tables to run first.  This "optimal" test works
** by first assuming that the FROM clause is on the inner loop and finding
** its query plan, then checking to see if that query plan uses any
** other FROM clause terms that are notReady.  If no notReady terms are
** used then the "optimal" query plan works.
**
** Note that the WhereCost.nRow parameter for an optimal scan might
** not be as small as it would be if the table really were the innermost
** join.  The nRow value can be reduced by WHERE clause constraints
** that do not use indices.  But this nRow reduction only happens if the
** table really is the innermost join.  
**
** The second loop iteration is only performed if no optimal scan
** strategies were found by the first iteration. This second iteration
** is used to search for the lowest cost scan overall.
**
** Previous versions of SQLite performed only the second iteration -
** the next outermost loop was always that with the lowest overall
** cost. However, this meant that SQLite could select the wrong plan
** for scripts such as the following:
**   
**   CREATE TABLE t1(a, b); 
**   CREATE TABLE t2(c, d);
**   SELECT * FROM t2, t1 WHERE t2.rowid = t1.a;
**
** The best strategy is to iterate through table t1 first. However it
** is not possible to determine this with a simple greedy algorithm.
** Since the cost of a linear scan through table t2 is the same 
** as the cost of a linear scan through table t1, a simple greedy 
** algorithm may choose to use t2 for the outer loop, which is a much
** costlier approach.
