-     `V1 relation V2 | <static value>`
-:orderterms:
-   Definition of the selection order: variable or column number followed by
-   sorting method ( `ASC`, `DESC`), ASC is the default.
-:note for grouped queries:
-   For grouped queries (e.g., a clause `GROUPBY`), all
-   selected variables must be aggregated or grouped.
+Selection
+`````````
+
+The fist occuring clause is the selection of terms that should be in the result
+set.  Terms may be variable, literals, function calls, arithmetic, etc. and each
+term is separated by a comma.
+
+There will be as much column in the result set as term in this clause, respecting
+order.
+
+Syntax for function call is somewhat intuitive, for instance: ::
+
+    Any UPPER(N) WHERE P firstname N
+
+
+Grouping and aggregating
+````````````````````````
+
+The :keyword:`GROUPBY` keyword is followed by a list of terms on which results
+should be grouped. They are usually used with aggregate functions, responsible to
+aggregate values for each group (see :ref:`RQLAggregateFunctions`).
+
+For grouped queries, all selected variables must be either aggregated (i.e. used
+by an aggregate function) or grouped (i.e. listed in the :keyword:`GROUPBY`
+clause).
+
+
+Sorting
+```````
+
+The :keyword:`ORDERBY` keyword if followed by the definition of the selection
+order: variable or column number followed by sorting method (:keyword:`ASC`,
+:keyword:`DESC`), :keyword:`ASC` being the default. If the sorting method is not
+specified, then the sorting is ascendant (`ASC`).
+
+
+Pagination
+``````````
+
+The :keyword:`LIMIT` and :keyword:`OFFSET` keywords may be respectively used to
+limit the number of results and to tell from which result line to start (for
+instance, use `LIMIT 20` to get the first 20 results, then `LIMIT 20 OFFSET 20`
+to get the next 20.
 
 
-Sorting and groups
-``````````````````
+Restrictions
+````````````
+
+The :keyword:`WHERE` keyword introduce one of the "main" part of the query, where
+you "define" variables and add some restrictions telling what you're interested
+in.
+
+It's a list of triplets "subject relation object", e.g. `V1 relation
+(V2 | <static value>)`. Triplets are separated using :ref:`RQLLogicalOperators`.
 
-- For grouped queries (e.g. with a GROUPBY clause), all
-  selected variables should be grouped at the right of the keyword.
+.. Note:
+
+  About the negation operator (:keyword:`NOT`):
+
+  * "NOT X relation Y" is equivalent to "NOT EXISTS(X relation Y)"
+
+  * `Any X WHERE NOT X owned_by U` means "entities that have no relation
+    `owned_by`".
+
+  * `Any X WHERE NOT X owned_by U, U login "syt"` means "the entity have no
+     relation `owned_by` with the user syt". They may have a relation "owned_by"
+     with another user.
 
-- If the sorting method (SORT_METHOD) is not specified, then the sorting is
-  ascendant (`ASC`).
+In this clause, you can also use :keyword:`EXISTS` when you want to know if some
+expression is true and do not need the complete set of elements that make it
+true. Testing for existence is much faster than fetching the complete set of
+results, especially when you think about using `OR` against several expressions. For instance
+if you want to retrieve versions which are in state "ready" or tagged by
+"priority", you should write :
+
+::
+
+    Any X ORDERBY PN,N
+    WHERE X num N, X version_of P, P name PN,
+          EXISTS(X in_state S, S name "ready")
+          OR EXISTS(T tags X, T name "priority")
+
+not
 
-- Aggregate Functions: COUNT, MIN, MAX, AVG, SUM, GROUP_CONCAT
+::
+
+    Any X ORDERBY PN,N
+    WHERE X num N, X version_of P, P name PN,
+          (X in_state S, S name "ready")
+          OR (T tags X, T name "priority")
 
-.. note::
-   Aggregate functions will return None if there is no result row.
+Both queries aren't at all equivalent :
+
+* the former will retrieve all versions, then check for each one which are in the
+  matching state of or tagged by the expected tag,
+
+* the later will retrieve all versions, state and tags (cartesian product!),
+  compute join and then exclude each row which are in the matching state of or
+  tagged by the expected tag. This implies that : you won't get any result if the
+  in_state or tag
 
 
-Having
-```````
+You can also use the question mark (`?`) to mark optional relations which allow
+you to select entities related **or not** to another. It is a similar concept
+that the `Left outer join`_:
+
+    the result of a left outer join (or simply left join) for table A and B
+    always contains all records of the "left" table (A), even if the
+    join-condition does not find any matching record in the "right" table (B).
+
+You must use the `?` behind a variable to specify that the relation toward it
+is optional. For instance:
+
+- Anomalies of a project attached or not to a version ::
 
-The HAVING clause, as in SQL, has been originally introduced to restrict a query
+       Any X, V WHERE X concerns P, P eid 42, X corrected_in V?
+
+  You will get a result set containing all the project's tickets, with either the
+  version in which it's corrected or None for tickets not related to a version.
+
+
+- All cards and the project they document if any ::
+
+       Any C, P WHERE C is Card, P? documented_by C
+
+
+Having restrictions
+```````````````````
+
+The :keyword:`HAVING` clause, as in SQL, may be used to restrict a query
 according to value returned by an aggregate function, e.g.::
 
     Any X GROUPBY X WHERE X relation Y HAVING COUNT(Y) > 10
 
-It may however be used for something else...
-
-In the WHERE clause, we are limited to 3-expression, such thing can't be
-expressed directly as in the SQL's way. But this can be expressed using HAVING
-comparison expression.
-
-For instance, let's say you want to get people whose uppercased first name equals
-to another person uppercased first name::
+It may however be used for something else: In the :keyword:`WHERE` clause, we are
+limited to triplet expressions, so some things may not be expressed there. Let's
+take an example : if you want to get people whose upper-cased first name equals to
+another person upper-cased first name. There is no proper way to express this
+using triplet, so you should use something like: ::
 
-    Person X WHERE X firstname XFN, Y firstname YFN HAVING X > Y, UPPER(XFN) = UPPER(YFN)
-
-This open some new possibilities. Another example::
+    Any X WHERE X firstname XFN, Y firstname YFN, NOT X identity Y HAVING UPPER(XFN) = UPPER(YFN)
 
-    Person X WHERE X birthday XB HAVING YEAR(XB) = 2000
+Another example: imagine you want person born in 2000: ::
 
-That lets you use transformation functions not only in selection but for
-restriction as well and to by-pass limitation of the WHERE clause, which was the
-major flaw in the RQL language.
+    Any X WHERE X birthday XB HAVING YEAR(XB) = 2000
 
 Notice that while we would like this to work without the HAVING clause, this
 can't be currently be done because it introduces an ambiguity in RQL's grammar
 that can't be handled by Yapps_, the parser's generator we're using.
 
-Negation
-````````
+
+Sub-queries
+```````````
+
+The :keyword:`WITH` keyword introduce sub-queries clause. Each sub-query has the
+form:
+
+  V1(,V2) BEING (rql query)
 
-* A query such as `Document X WHERE NOT X owned_by U` means "the documents have
-  no relation `owned_by`".
+Variables at the left of the :keyword:`BEING` keyword defines into which
+variables results from the sub-query will be mapped to into the outer query.
+Sub-queries are separated from each other using a comma.
 
-* But the query `Document X WHERE NOT X owned_by U, U login "syt"` means "the
-  documents have no relation `owned_by` with the user syt". They may have a
-  relation "owned_by" with another user.
+Let's say we want to retrieve for each project its number of versions and its
+number of tickets. Due to the nature of relational algebra behind the scene, this
+can't be achieved using a single query. You have to write something along the
+line of: ::
+
+  Any X, VC, TC WHERE X identity XX
+  WITH X, VC BEING (Any X, COUNT(V) GROUPBY X WHERE V version_of X),
+       XX, TC BEING (Any X, COUNT(T) GROUPBY X WHERE T ticket_of X)
 
-Identity
-````````
+Notice that we can't reuse a same variable name as alias for two different
+sub-queries, hence the usage of 'X' and 'XX' in this example, which are then
+unified using the special `identity` relation (see :ref:`XXX`).
+
+.. Warning:
+
+  Sub-queries define a new variable scope, so even if a variable has the same name
+  in the outer query and in the sub-query, they technically **aren't* the same
+  variable. So ::
 
-You can use the special relation `identity` in a query to
-add an identity constraint between two variables. This is equivalent
-to ``is`` in python::
+     Any W, REF WITH W, REF BEING
+         (Any W, REF WHERE W is Workcase, W ref REF,
+                           W concerned_by D, D name "Logilab")
+  could be written:
 
-   Any A WHERE A comments B, A identity B
+     Any W, REF WITH W, REF BEING
+        (Any W1, REF1 WHERE W1 is Workcase, W1 ref REF1,
+                            W1 concerned_by D, D name "Logilab")
 
-return all objects that comment themselves. The relation `identity` is
-especially useful when defining the rules for securities with `RQLExpressions`.
+  Also, when a variable is coming from a sub-query, you currently can't reference
+  its attribute or inlined relations in the outer query, you've to fetch them in
+  the sub-query. For instance, let's say we want to sort by project name in our
+  first example, we would have to write ::
 
 
-Limit / offset
-``````````````
-::
+    Any X, VC, TC ORDERBY XN WHERE X identity XX
+    WITH X, XN, VC BEING (Any X, COUNT(V) GROUPBY X,XN WHERE V version_of X, X name XN),
+         XX, TC BEING (Any X, COUNT(T) GROUPBY X WHERE T ticket_of X)
+
+  instead of ::
 
-    Any P ORDERBY N LIMIT 5 OFFSET 10 WHERE P is Person, P firstname N
+    Any X, VC, TC ORDERBY XN WHERE X identity XX, X name XN,
+    WITH X, XN, VC BEING (Any X, COUNT(V) GROUPBY X WHERE V version_of X),
+         XX, TC BEING (Any X, COUNT(T) GROUPBY X WHERE T ticket_of X)
+
+  which would result in a SQL execution error.
 
 
-Exists
-```````
+Union
+`````
 
-You can use `EXISTS` when you want to know if some expression is true and do not
-need the complete set of elements that make it true. Testing for existence is
-much faster than fetching the complete set of results.
+You may get a result set containing the concatenation of several queries using
+the :keyword:`UNION`. The selection of each query should have the same number of
+columns.
 
 ::
 
-    Any X ORDERBY PN,N
-    WHERE X num N, X version_of P, P name PN,
-          EXISTS(X in_state S, S name IN ("dev", "ready"))

+
+    About session storage / transactions
+    ------------------------------------
+
+    Here is a description of internal session attributes. Besides :attr:`data`
+    and :attr:`transaction_data`, you should not have to use attributes
+    described here but higher level APIs.
+
+      :attr:`data` is a dictionary containing shared data, used to communicate
+      extra information between the client and the repository
+
+      :attr:`_tx_data` is a dictionary of :class:`TransactionData` instance, one
+      for each running transaction. The key is the transaction id. By default
+      the transaction id is the thread name but it can be otherwise (per dbapi
+      cursor for instance, or per thread name *from another process*).
+
+      :attr:`__threaddata` is a thread local storage whose `txdata` attribute
+      refers to the proper instance of :class:`TransactionData` according to the
+      transaction.
+
+      :attr:`_threads_in_transaction` is a set of (thread, connections set)
+      referencing threads that currently hold a connections set for the session.
+
+    You should not have to use neither :attr:`_txdata` nor :attr:`__threaddata`,
+    simply access transaction data transparently through the :attr:`_threaddata`
+    property. Also, you usually don't have to access it directly since current
+    transaction's data may be accessed/modified through properties / methods:
+
+      :attr:`transaction_data`, similarly to :attr:`data`, is a dictionary
+      containing some shared data that should be cleared at the end of the
+      transaction. Hooks and operations may put arbitrary data in there, and
+      this may also be used as a communication channel between the client and
+      the repository.
+
+      :attr:`cnxset`, the connections set to use to execute queries on sources.
+      During a transaction, the connection set may be freed so that is may be
+      used by another session as long as no writing is done. This means we can
+      have multiple sessions with a reasonably low connections set pool size.
+
+      :attr:`mode`, string telling the connections set handling mode, may be one
+      of 'read' (connections set may be freed), 'write' (some write was done in
+      the connections set, it can't be freed before end of the transaction),
+      'transaction' (we want to keep the connections set during all the
+      transaction, with or without writing)
+
+      :attr:`pending_operations`, ordered list of operations to be processed on
+      commit/rollback
+
+      :attr:`commit_state`, describing the transaction commit state, may be one
+      of None (not yet committing), 'precommit' (calling precommit event on
+      operations), 'postcommit' (calling postcommit event on operations),
+      'uncommitable' (some :exc:`ValidationError` or :exc:`Unauthorized` error
+      has been raised during the transaction and so it must be rollbacked).
+
+      :attr:`read_security` and :attr:`write_security`, boolean flags telling if
+      read/write security is currently activated.
+
+      :attr:`hooks_mode`, may be either `HOOKS_ALLOW_ALL` or `HOOKS_DENY_ALL`.
+
+      :attr:`enabled_hook_categories`, when :attr:`hooks_mode` is
+      `HOOKS_DENY_ALL`, this set contains hooks categories that are enabled.
+
+      :attr:`disabled_hook_categories`, when :attr:`hooks_mode` is
+      `HOOKS_ALLOW_ALL`, this set contains hooks categories that are disabled.
+
+
+      :attr:`running_dbapi_query`, boolean flag telling if the executing query
+      is coming from a dbapi connection or is a query from within the repository
