Selection
Selection is implemented in Minibase by calling the
function Eval at the end of an iterator.
This function takes a list of conditions and applies them.
For selection on a single relation, the iterator is
a file scan iterator or an index scan iterator (if some
selection condition matches an index --- the optimizer will
`push' selections whenever a suitable index is available). If the selection follows
a join, the iterator is a join iterator.
The public interface for the Eval function is available
here.
