Actually in their example, no data is processed.

The query compiled to a loop over natural numbers that was optimized by the compiler:

uint64_t x = 0; for (uint64_t i = 0; i < 1000000000000; ++i) x += i;

print x;

This loop is completely eliminated by compiler optimizations.

But it does not make much sense to run these queries in SQL :)
