2. 协议扩展机会 (Protocol Extension Opportunities)

2.1 高级查询功能 - 协议扩展建议 (Advanced Query Features - Protocol Enhancement Suggestions)

功能 (Feature) 当前状态 (Current Status) 建议 (Recommendation)
窗口函数 (Window Functions) 仅 SQL 驱动支持，协议未定义 🟡 考虑纳入协议 (非紧急)
子查询 (Subqueries) SQL/Mongo 部分支持，协议未定义 🟡 考虑纳入协议 (非紧急)
HAVING 子句 GroupBy 已实现，但无 HAVING 过滤 🟢 建议纳入协议 (推荐)
DISTINCT 查询 实现为独立方法，不在 QueryAST 🟢 建议纳入协议 (推荐)
详细分析 (Detailed Analysis):

机会 2.1.1: 窗口函数 (Window Functions)

// packages/drivers/sql/src/index.ts
public readonly supports = {
queryWindowFunctions: false, // ❌ 协议未定义
// ...
};
影响: SQL 数据库支持窗口函数（ROW_NUMBER, RANK, PARTITION BY），但协议没有标准化的表达方式。这不是问题，而是扩展机会。

建议: 在 Data.QueryAST 中添加可选的 windowFunctions 字段：

interface QueryAST {
// ... existing fields
windowFunctions?: {
function: 'ROW_NUMBER' | 'RANK' | 'DENSE_RANK' | 'LAG' | 'LEAD';
partitionBy?: string[];
orderBy?: SortNode[];
alias: string;
}[];
}
机会 2.1.2: HAVING 子句

// 当前 QueryAST 支持 groupBy 和 aggregations
// 但无法对聚合结果进行过滤
const query = {
object: 'sales',
groupBy: ['region'],
aggregations: [{ function: 'SUM', field: 'amount', alias: 'total' }],
// ❌ 缺失: where (HAVING) for filtering aggregated results
};
建议: 添加 having 字段到 QueryAST：

interface QueryAST {
// ... existing fields
having?: FilterCondition; // Filter on aggregated results
}
2.2 运行时扩展与协议边界 (Runtime Extensions vs Protocol Boundary)

ObjectQL 添加了一些运行时扩展字段类型，未在协议中定义：

// packages/foundation/types/src/field.ts
export type FieldType =
| ProtocolFieldType
| 'location' // ⚠️ Runtime Extension
| 'object' // ⚠️ Runtime Extension
| 'vector' // ⚠️ Runtime Extension
| 'grid'; // ⚠️ Runtime Extension
分析:

✅ 正面: 代码清晰标注了 "Runtime Extension"
⚠️ 问题: 这些扩展是否应该纳入协议？
建议:

如果这些类型具有通用价值 → 🔴 修改协议，将它们纳入 Data.FieldType
如果这些类型是 ObjectQL 特有 → 🟢 保持现状，继续作为运行时扩展
推荐方案: 将 vector (向量嵌入) 和 location (地理位置) 纳入协议，因为它们在现代应用中非常常见。

File	Description
README.md	Adds a “Recent Updates” section and updates Data Protocol bullets to mention the new query/field features.
PROTOCOL_OPTIMIZATION_PLAN.md	Updates evaluation metadata and completion scoring to reflect the new protocol capabilities.
PROTOCOL_EXTENSIONS_COMPLETED.md	New completion report documenting the protocol extensions, including schema snippets and usage examples.

The JoinNodeSchema snippet here does not match the actual schema in packages/spec/src/data/query.zod.ts: the real JoinNodeSchema is wrapped in z.lazy(...) (to support recursion) and includes additional fields like strategy. Please update this snippet to reflect the current schema so the completion report stays accurate for implementers.

Suggested change

	export const JoinNodeSchema = z.object({
	type: JoinType.describe('Join type'),
	object: z.string().describe('Object/table to join'),
	alias: z.string().optional().describe('Table alias'),
	on: FilterConditionSchema.describe('Join condition'),
	subquery: z.lazy(() => QuerySchema).optional().describe('Subquery instead of object'),
	});
	export const JoinNodeSchema: z.ZodType<JoinNode> = z.lazy(() =>
	z.object({
	type: JoinType.describe('Join type'),
	object: z.string().describe('Object/table to join'),
	alias: z.string().optional().describe('Table alias'),
	on: FilterConditionSchema.describe('Join condition'),
	subquery: z.lazy(() => QuerySchema).optional().describe('Subquery instead of object'),
	strategy: JoinStrategySchema.optional().describe('Join execution strategy (e.g. hash, nested_loop)'),
	}),
	);

This example uses an array form for on (['customer.id', '=', ...]), but the protocol describes on as a FilterConditionSchema. To avoid confusion (and align with other examples/tests), please express the join condition using the standard filter object/operator syntax.

Suggested change

	on: ['customer.id', '=', 'high_value_orders.customer_id'],
	on: {
	'customer.id': { $eq: 'high_value_orders.customer_id' },
	},
