feat: geospatial types support

[Oreilles]

Fixes prisma/prisma#1798
Fixes prisma/prisma#2789

This PR implements support for database geometry types. I'll start this message by saying that, although I'd be very proud of making such a contribution to Prisma, I understand that the likeliness of such a massive PR to be accepted is pretty low due to the time I'd take to fully review. How did I end up there ? In the end of last year, I tried to get in touch with the team as I had some experience in the field, and also had the time to work on the feature - but by the time we managed to exchange emails I no longer had enough time to invest in working on this. Last month, I had time and remembered about this project, so I started browing the prisma repo - and realised the ORM core was not actually Typescript, but full Rust, which I had no previous experience with. I questioned my ability to be up to the task, but though: why not have a go at it ? Not having sufficient rust experience, I decided against getting back in touch with the Prisma team and just leverage this project as a learning experience. A month later, although it is very far from being production ready, I believe this branch might deserve some attention which is why I decide to release it. Again, apologies about the size. I worked on this as a learning experience and ended up getting quite ahead of myself.. heh.

Now for the meat of the PR, here's what it includes:

In the psl / query-engine:

• Two new ScalarTypes: Geometry and GeoJSON. Both types refer to the same underlying database types, they only differ in the geometry serialization format the user wants to use: GeoJSON for GeoJSON, EWKT for Geometry. Why do we need both ? GeoJSON is the format most people wants to use, as they most likely use TypeScript and GeoJSON is the de-facto standard for manipulating geometries on the web. But Ewkt allows for richer information about the raw geometry: it can be used to serialize geometry in any CRS (when GeoJSON is limited by specification to WGS84), and can also represent more geometry types than geojson (CIRCULARSTRING , CURVEPOLYGON etc). As such, only EWKT can be used to safely & exhaustively read database geometries.
• A new filtering condition: Geometry(Not)Within mapping to st_within
• A new filtering condition Geometry(Not)Intersects mapping to st_intersects

In quaint:

• Two new enum Values: Geometry and Geography, which both holds the same type (GeometryValue, a struct with a WKT string and an SRID i32 ). We might have needed only one, but MSSQL required making the two explicitly different.
• A new function geom_from_text, that maps to the SQL/MM st_geomfromtext.
• A new function geom_as_text, that maps to st_astext.
• A new compare function geometry_is_valid that maps to st_isvalid
• A new compare function geometry_is_empty that maps to st_isempty
• A new compare function geometry(_not)_within that maps to st_within
• A new compare function geometry(_not)_intersects that maps to st_intersects
• A new compare function geometry_type(_not)_equals that maps to st_geometrytype(x) = ...

All in all, what works:

• GeoJSON & EWKT I/O for CockroachDB, MySQL, MSSQL
• GeoJSON & EWKT I/O for PostgreSQL (as long as PostGIS is installed and the public schema is exposed to Prisma)
• GeoJSON & EWKT I/O for SQLite (as long as Spatialite is available and exposed with SPATIALITE_PATH)
• GeoJSON I/O for MongoDB
• Within and Intersects operators for all vendors except MongoDB (Mongo has the $geoWithin and $geoIntersects query operators, however they cannot be used with the current connector implementation, since those are Query operators wherehas Prisma uses Aggregation operators. Unfortunately, they're not compatible, and no geospatial filtering operators are available for aggregate queries in MongoDB.
• Introspection / Schema description for all vendors (both directions)

What hasn't been fully implemented / properly tested:

• Migrations (particularily casts)
• Default value handling
• Index type & operators handling (postgres only ?)

There is still a lot of work to do here, but I was quite happy to get the core features (introspection, IO and filtering) going and though it was worth sharing.

My intent with this PR is to show a possible implementation, start a discussion with the team and community about its viability, potential drawbacks and help making these features reach Prisma in a production ready state. Questions about the implementation details are welcome and encouraged. Please get in touch at aurele.nitoref at icloud if you'd like to discuss this more thoroughly!

Amazing.

So that the tests are automatically run going forward:
Can you quickly do a PR to main where you change line 5 to [![Cargo docs](https://github.com/prisma/prisma-engines/actions/workflows/on-push-to-main.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/prisma/prisma-engines/actions/workflows/on-push-to-main.yml)? I can then merge that, and the repository will remember that we trust you and run the tests without me clicking a button. (And that button needs to be fixed anyway 😆)

[Oreilles]

So there was quite a lot of things I had overlooked when testing on my machine..! I squashed all the fixes and we now have a mostly green test suite 👍

[janpio]

🚀

Two test failures left for now:

1. Something with 1 PostgreSQL metrics test, 7 v.s 9 metrics recorded or something. Could your PR cause this? (We recently change something in metrics, so you might want to rebase (Update branch button in GH UI) to get the most recent version of that code).
2. A lot of unhappiness in the Vitess 8 tests with it not being able to introspect the tables because of permission problems. Strange. That looks a bit ... weird, even flaky maybe? I retriggered a test run there. Maybe it just goes green.

PS: No need from our side to combine your PRs and force push, we only merge via "Squash and merge" which combines all the commits, and with the individual commits of the fixes it might be easier to understand what test failures where fixed where - or introduced.

[Oreilles]

So the two additional queries breaking the tests are due to:

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis
https://github.com/Oreilles/prisma-engines/blob/a588e1296288b79df0204397a441f2b3d891b9d9/query-engine/connector-test-kit-rs/qe-setup/src/postgres.rs#L42

and

SELECT PostGIS_version()
https://github.com/Oreilles/prisma-engines/blob/a588e1296288b79df0204397a441f2b3d891b9d9/schema-engine/connectors/sql-schema-connector/src/flavour/postgres.rs#L628-L630

Both are needed to run the tests, I updated the counter to 9 to make the test succeed.
( Also rebased on main just in case... )

No clue about the Vitess issue though...

EDIT: I tried running the vitess tests on prisma:main on my machine and the result is the same, which makes me assume that this is not due to a code change in this PR...

EDIT: it's now all fixed 🙌

[di-sukharev]

How can I help to merge it?

[janpio]

Test it, figure out how it would fit into Prisma, let the author and us know what else is needed to make this a complete feature.

[okonon]

@janpio @Oreilles thanks for all you do guys. I am at the point in my project to start introducing PostGIS and trying to figure out how to test this PR. I cloned @Oreilles feature branch and compiled debug targets of prisma-engines how do i tie it into existing prisma to run test migration/introspection ? thank you

[RafaelKr]

@okonon Have a look at the documentation: https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-engines#using-custom-engine-libraries-or-binaries

[okonon]

@RafaelKr thanks a lot for that sorry i missed that section.
I was able to test introspection from existing database (prisma db pull):

Looks like it is introspecting correctly.

[beardo01]

Adding a comment to voice support for this to be added to Prisma! Looking forward to seeing this merged; keep up the good work.

[toniopelo]

Definitely would love that to be merged as well 👍

[janpio]

Sorry, but this will definitely not be merged as it is only part of the full feature that needs to be implemented.

But we are interested in bringing it there, so let's see what we can do here.

[janpio]

For now I created a branch based on the commit this was forked from, so that there are no conflicts and @Oreilles can keep committing if they want.

I also created a local branch of the code that runs all our CI (Buildkite is not run on external contributions), with the goal of publishing the engines to our infrastructure, so we can build a Prisma CLI and Client with them for further testing.

But unfortunately some tests are failing (results only internally visible): #4427

Turns out GitHub Actions do not run for these databases, and seems the current code has some problems - and that is blocking my plan to release these engine files :/

Random example of a SQLite failure, our of many ([2023-11-08T21:25:35Z] test result: FAILED. 622 passed; 970 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 0.73s):

MySQL 5.6 only fails 2:

MariaDB the same as 5.6:

Trying to get these tests to run on GitHub Actions now. But maybe you have speculative fixes @Oreilles?

[Oreilles]

Interesting, as far as I can remember (almost) all tests were succeeding the last time we discussed the PR, and we did have tests for all MySQL versions... though I might remember wrong. Did you resolve merge conflicts when you merged main, which could explain tests failing afterwards ?

Anyway, I'll have a look as soon as possible. @janpio if that's something you can do, please send me the test cli commands to reproduce the failing tests.

Edit: nevermind, I had not seen that they were already mentioned in your message!

[acidjazz]

@Oreilles just wanted to say i appreciate your work and loving these commits

[Oreilles]

Got back at it, now up to date with main!

Made many changes to make it easier to digest (and maintain), specifically:

• Drop support for types incompatible with GeoJSON (M / ZM geometries and extended types (CircularString etc))
• Drop support for (E)WKT and make GeoJSON the only io format
• Therefore, only a single new Geometry prisma type identifier is needed

I had to disable the schema engine tests CI for Spatialite, since libspatialite >= 5.0.0 is required and that only ships starting with Ubuntu 22.04. (the CI fail with an SSL error if we try to update the runner).

[myishay]

I will be so happy when this feature will be merged! Thank you for your work and effort ❤️
