Todo

• move prepare_* methods from dialect to query_compiler
• add session_insert_builder and session_update_builder (returning multiple statements)
• finish fetch eager has-many/belongs-to relations
• implement lazy loading
• implement polymorphic class hierarchies
• finish schema_repository classes (move add/drop from session to schema)
• implement a flag class for enumerations

Proposal for polymorphic classes:

object_ptr::as does the following checks;

1. The requested type has a super class
2. Super class has a discriminator column defined
3. Super class has a discriminator value defined
4. Discriminator value is mapped to the requested type

If all checks succeed, the requested is fetched from the database.

schema.attach<jobs::Payload>("payloads", make_polymorph("type"));
schema.attach<jobs::Payload, jobs::IdPayload>("id_list_payloads", make_polymorph_type("IdPayload"));
schema.attach<jobs::Payload, jobs::IdListPayload>("id_payloads", make_polymorph_type("IdListPayload"));
object::object_ptr<jobs::Payload> payload;
auto result = payload.as<jobs::IdPayload>();
if (result.is_ok()) {
  const auto& is_payload = result.value();
  // Use requested type
  id_payload->id = 1;
}
payload.is_polymorphic();
payload.is_polymorphic_type<jobs::IdPayload>();
