// Result is an interface that defines methods useful for working with result
// sets.
type Result interface {
	// String satisfies fmt.Stringer and returns a SELECT statement for
	// the result.
	String() string

	// Limit defines the maximum number of results in this set. It only has
	// effect on `One()`, `All()` and `Next()`. A negative limit cancels any
	// previous limit settings.
	Limit(int) Result

	// Offset ignores the first *n* results. It only has effect on `One()`,
	// `All()` and `Next()`. A negative offset cancels any previous offset
	// settings.
	Offset(int) Result

	// OrderBy receives field names that define the order in which elements will be
	// returned in a query, field names may be prefixed with a minus sign (-)
	// indicating descending order, ascending order will be used otherwise.
	OrderBy(...interface{}) Result

	// Select defines specific columns to be returned from the elements of the
	// set.
	Select(...interface{}) Result

	// Where discards all the previously set filtering constraints (if any) and
	// sets new ones. Commonly used when the conditions of the result depend on
	// external parameters that are yet to be evaluated:
	//
	//   res := col.Find()
	//
	//   if ... {
	//     res.Where(...)
	//   } else {
	//     res.Where(...)
	//   }
	Where(...interface{}) Result

	// And adds more filtering conditions on top of the existing constraints.
	//
	//   res := col.Find(...).And(...)
	And(...interface{}) Result

	// Group is used to group results that have the same value in the same column
	// or columns.
	Group(...interface{}) Result

	// Delete deletes all items within the result set. `Offset()` and `Limit()` are
	// not honoured by `Delete()`.
	Delete() error

	// Update modifies all items within the result set. `Offset()` and `Limit()`
	// are not honoured by `Update()`.
	Update(interface{}) error

	// Count returns the number of items that match the set conditions. `Offset()`
	// and `Limit()` are not honoured by `Count()`
	Count() (uint64, error)

	// Exists returns true if at least one item on the collection exists. False
	// otherwise.
	Exists() (bool, error)

	// Next fetches the next result within the result set and dumps it into the
	// given pointer to struct or pointer to map. You must call
	// `Close()` after finishing using `Next()`.
	Next(ptrToStruct interface{}) bool

	// Err returns the last error that has happened with the result set, nil
	// otherwise.
	Err() error

	// One fetches the first result within the result set and dumps it into the
	// given pointer to struct or pointer to map. The result set is automatically
	// closed after picking the element, so there is no need to call Close()
	// after using One().
	One(ptrToStruct interface{}) error

	// All fetches all results within the result set and dumps them into the
	// given pointer to slice of maps or structs.  The result set is
	// automatically closed, so there is no need to call Close() after
	// using All().
	All(sliceOfStructs interface{}) error

	// Paginate splits the results of the query into pages containing pageSize
	// items.  When using pagination previous settings for Limit and Offset are
	// ignored. Page numbering starts at 1.
	//
	// Use Page() to define the specific page to get results from.
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   r = q.Paginate(12)
	//
	// You can provide constraints an order settings when using pagination:
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   res := q.Where(conds).OrderBy("-id").Paginate(12)
	//   err := res.Page(4).All(&items)
	Paginate(pageSize uint) Result

	// Page makes the result set return results only from the page identified by
	// pageNumber. Page numbering starts from 0.
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   r = q.Paginate(12).Page(4)
	Page(pageNumber uint) Result

	// Cursor defines the column that is going to be taken as basis for
	// cursor-based pagination.
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   a = q.Paginate(10).Cursor("id")
	//   b = q.Paginate(12).Cursor("-id")
	//
	// You can set "" as cursorColumn to disable cursors.
	Cursor(cursorColumn string) Result

	// NextPage returns the next results page according to the cursor. It expects
	// a cursorValue, which is the value the cursor column had on the last item
	// of the current result set (lower bound).
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   cursor = q.Paginate(12).Cursor("id")
	//   res = cursor.NextPage(items[len(items)-1].ID)
	//
	// Note that NextPage requires a cursor, any column with an absolute order
	// (given two values one always precedes the other) can be a cursor.
	//
	// You can define the pagination order and add constraints to your result:
	//
	//	 cursor = q.Where(...).OrderBy("id").Paginate(10).Cursor("id")
	//   res = cursor.NextPage(lowerBound)
	NextPage(cursorValue interface{}) Result

	// PrevPage returns the previous results page according to the cursor. It
	// expects a cursorValue, which is the value the cursor column had on the
	// fist item of the current result set (upper bound).
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   current = current.PrevPage(items[0].ID)
	//
	// Note that PrevPage requires a cursor, any column with an absolute order
	// (given two values one always precedes the other) can be a cursor.
	//
	// You can define the pagination order and add constraints to your result:
	//
	//   cursor = q.Where(...).OrderBy("id").Paginate(10).Cursor("id")
	//   res = cursor.PrevPage(upperBound)
	PrevPage(cursorValue interface{}) Result

	// TotalPages returns the total number of pages the result could produce.  If
	// no pagination has been set this value equals 1.
	TotalPages() (uint, error)

	// TotalEntries returns the total number of entries in the query.
	TotalEntries() (uint64, error)

	// Close closes the result set and frees all locked resources.
	Close() error
