ParserSQL previously left common PostgreSQL clauses, casts and operators unparsed, omitted window expressions during SQL emission, and constructed large IN lists with quadratic sibling traversal. This PR expands the native C++ grammar and AST APIs while making IN-list construction linear. It adds no PostgreSQL runtime dependency or parser fallback.

Parser and API changes

  • Add TABLE/VALUES compound-query operands, DISTINCT ON, FILTER, LATERAL queries/functions, named windows and window frames; preserve their structured expressions during emission.
  • Parse qualified/quoted expression function calls, DISTINCT/ALL aggregate arguments, aggregate ORDER BY with direction/null placement, and WITHIN GROUP. Preserve FILTER/OVER composition and reject malformed argument boundaries.
  • Extend CTEs with output columns, materialization hints, SELECT/TABLE/VALUES/compound bodies and nested WITH. Share PostgreSQL query parsing with scalar and derived subqueries. Emit complete WITH clauses and preserve quoted names and recursive markers.
  • Add structured transactions/savepoints and modern COPY, plus parse_all() with retained per-statement ASTs and source offsets.
  • Add owned AST cloning, bounded traversal, validated subtree replacement and context-aware parameterization with preserved original binds, names and syntax constants. Aggregate ordering literals are parameters, while query-level output ordinals remain unchanged.
  • Parse expr::type, CAST(expr AS type) and supported typed string literals. Retain quoted/qualified type names, modifiers, dimensions and multiword types; preserve CHAR/BIT typed-literal default lengths.
  • Tokenize full PostgreSQL symbolic operators, including JSON, regex, array/range and extension operators. Apply PostgreSQL precedence, preserve comment/sign boundaries and support COLLATE.
  • Represent named function/table-function/CALL arguments using => or := as names with expression children, with PostgreSQL keyword restrictions.
  • Build IN-list children with a local tail pointer and reuse cached tokens during typed-literal lookahead. Preserve the 48-byte AST layout and append new enum values.

Unsupported local execution is rejected by the planner. The CTE executor checks supported features before materialization, preventing unsupported CTE bodies from being skipped and accidentally reading a same-named physical table. New grammar does not enable recursive/nested CTE execution or materialization hints. PostgreSQL ? is an operator; MySQL ? remains an anonymous bind. Correct emission changes affected digests.

Measured PostgreSQL coverage

The pinned PostgreSQL 18.4 corpus contains 51,415 oracle-accepted statements:

Stage Complete-input AST results
Before query/API additions, after TABLE/VALUES work 16,336
Query/API additions 19,139
Cast/operator/named-argument expansion 26,243
Aggregate and CTE expansion 27,014

The latest increment adds 771 complete-input cases: 638 SELECT, 123 EXPLAIN, nine UPDATE and one INSERT. No previously complete case is lost. Another 79 trailing-input and 42 type-mismatch results now report explicit errors for still-unsupported syntax. The earlier expression increment added 7,104 complete cases without losing a previously complete case.

These counts check status, classification, AST presence and complete consumption. They do not establish node-by-node equivalence across the entire corpus or estimate production workload coverage. Separate focused checks compare actual PostgreSQL ASTs for reconstructed SQL.

Limits

This remains a selective parser. Data-modifying CTEs/main statements, SEARCH/CYCLE, special EXTRACT/SUBSTRING syntax, AT TIME ZONE, qualified OPERATOR(schema.op), arbitrary expression-valued type modifiers, interval prefix-literal qualifiers, broader SQL/JSON/XML syntax, MERGE and substantial DDL/utility grammar remain future work. Parsing does not perform catalog/type/operator resolution, and supported syntax does not imply local execution. CTE parameterization remains unsupported.

Validation

  • make -B -j6 all build-corpus-test: 1,381 active C++ tests passed, 37 backend-dependent skips; library and corpus harness built.
  • Focused expression/AST build with -fsanitize=address,undefined: 52 tests passed, no diagnostics.
  • PostgreSQL oracle comparisons: 70 original/reconstructed SQL pairs (46 previous and 24 new) have matching ASTs after removing source positions.
  • Independent review rechecked 20 targeted grammar cases and three physical-table shadowing reproductions; no outstanding findings.
  • PostgreSQL compatibility harness unit tests: 87 passed.
  • Full compatibility workflow: 51,415 baseline rows match and 26,159 regenerated CI cases pass.
  • Reviewed all compatibility transitions and verified git diff --check.

Commits include detailed descriptions, limitations and verification. Benchmark harnesses, timing reports, samples and their README/ignore changes are excluded. Local measurements informed the earlier IN-list and lookahead optimizations; this PR does not make universal performance claims or claim updated timings for the latest grammar increment.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Expanded PostgreSQL parsing and SQL reconstruction for DISTINCT ON, FILTER, LATERAL, window functions, casts, typed literals, named arguments, collations, CTE options, and PostgreSQL operators.
    • Added batch parsing with per-statement results and source locations.
    • Added support for parsing PostgreSQL transaction and COPY statements.
    • Added AST traversal, cloning, subtree replacement, and SQL parameterization utilities.
    • Added clearer classification for COPY and RELEASE SAVEPOINT statements.
  • Documentation

    • Added guides covering PostgreSQL compatibility and AST utility APIs.
    • Clarified compatibility metrics and documented supported and unsupported syntax.

Parse standalone TABLE and VALUES expressions through the compound-query
parser, and allow them to participate in mixed UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT
queries. Preserve explicit parentheses and local ORDER BY/LIMIT clauses so
emitted SQL keeps the original grouping and set-operation precedence.

Add operand completeness checks for VALUES without removing the permissive
operator handling used by existing callers. Teach the planner to unwrap
supported grouped queries and reject operands it cannot execute, rather
than constructing an incomplete plan. This adds parsing and reconstruction;
it does not implement local TABLE or VALUES execution.

Cover AST contents, nested grouping, mixed operands, quoted relations,
round trips, incomplete values and planner rejection. Verified the staged
source snapshot independently: all 45 compound-query and planner tests
passed. PostgreSQL compatibility snapshots are refreshed in a later commit
of this series after the remaining grammar additions.
The IN-list parser previously called AstNode::add_child for every value.
Each append walked all existing siblings, making construction quadratic
in the number of list elements even though tokenization itself is linear.

Keep a tail pointer local to parse_in and attach each parsed expression
in constant time. Preserve the left-hand expression, value order, nested
expression roots and the separate subquery path. Both PostgreSQL and
MySQL benefit without adding allocations or changing the 48-byte AST ABI.

Add regression tests inspecting every value in 3,000-element lists across
arena blocks, together with emission checks for NOT IN, NULL, functions,
arithmetic, tuples, nested lists and subqueries in both dialects. These
correctness tests passed in the full suite; timing thresholds are not
part of the tests. Benchmark code and reports are intentionally excluded
from this branch's commits.
Represent DISTINCT ON, aggregate FILTER, LATERAL SELECT/function references,
named windows and ROWS/RANGE/GROUPS frames as structured AST nodes. Preserve
frame boundaries, exclusions, aliases and source quoting during emission.
Reject these constructs in the local planner where execution is unsupported.
Restore emission of window nodes that previously disappeared from SQL and
digests; affected digest strings and hashes consequently change.

Add parse_all with ordered per-statement results and byte spans. Reset the
arena once per batch so earlier ASTs remain valid while later statements
are parsed. Skip empty statements, retain failures, continue at available
lexical boundaries, and prevent unknown commands from making batch.ok true.
The API frames SQL text, not inline COPY data or procedural bodies.

Build transaction/savepoint/prepared-transaction ASTs and bounded COPY ASTs
for relation or supported query sources, directions, endpoints, modern
options and WHERE clauses. Add COPY and RELEASE_SAVEPOINT classifications
and update the oracle mapping. Use opt-in complete-operand parsing inside
COPY queries without globally tightening existing permissive parser paths.

Preserve PostgreSQL doubled-quote identifiers, ordinary versus E-string
boundaries, and complete dollar-quote delimiters. Reject truncated dollar
strings. Preserve quoted function names and normalize MySQL comma-LIMIT
children into count/offset order, recording their original syntax for
consumers that must handle anonymous bind positions.

Add focused round-trip, AST mutation, malformed-input, lexical-boundary,
retained-lifetime and planner-rejection tests and register them in the
Makefile. The final combined tree passes all 1,354 active C++ tests and
builds the corpus harness; 37 backend integration tests require unavailable
servers. LATERAL WITH/VALUES/compound operands and interval frame offsets
remain outside this implementation. Compatibility fixtures are refreshed
separately after all parser changes in this series.
Add iterative preorder traversal with parent/depth/child context, subtree
skipping, early termination and explicit node/depth limits. Add arena-backed
constructors and deep cloning that copy value and source text, reject cyclic
or shared-node trees, and report allocation failures. Validate subtree
replacement before mutation, preserve the replaced node's sibling position,
and reject attached or overlapping replacement trees.

Parameterize a copied AST and return ordered lexical literal mappings plus
existing-bind positions. Preserve PostgreSQL bind numbers and allocate new
numbers after the largest existing index; track MySQL anonymous positions
in emitted order. Preserve output-column ordinals, boolean syntax constants,
cast type subtrees and dialect-specific datetime precision arguments.
Keep quoted user functions bindable rather than mistaking them for builtins.

Reject incomplete ParseResults and unsupported or opaque contexts explicitly,
including CTEs, function-shaped CAST, utility roots, SELECT INTO, PostgreSQL
string-shaped aliases and MySQL comma-LIMIT containing existing anonymous
binds. Literal-only comma-LIMIT follows normalized count/offset order. The
API returns lexical values rather than decoded values or inferred types.

Preserve quoted DML targets, assignment columns, conflict identifiers and
RETURNING aliases so rewriting does not silently change identifier meaning.
Register 26 focused tests covering lifetime independence, traversal bounds,
arena exhaustion, invalid replacements, quoting, ordinals and both dialects'
parameter mappings. All 26 pass under AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehavior-
Sanitizer without diagnostics; the complete tree passes 1,354 active tests
with 37 backend-dependent skips. No AST-layout change or runtime dependency
on PostgreSQL is introduced.
Regenerate the PostgreSQL 18.4 report, complete accepted-statement inventory
and selected CI fixtures from the final parser sources. Force a library
rebuild first: the existing Makefile does not track header dependencies, and
an earlier snapshot linked stale parser code. Keep the pinned PostgreSQL
17.7/18.4 oracle revisions and the 51,415-statement target corpus unchanged.

The final inventory contains 19,139 complete-input AST results, 1,274
classification-only results, 28,678 trailing-input results, 2,194 statement
type mismatches, 95 partial results and 35 errors. Relative to the snapshot
before the latest query/API additions, complete-input coverage increases by
2,803 cases. Review the four formerly complete EXPLAIN/window queries that
now expose the unsupported <-> operator instead of omitting expressions.
The additional stale-build transitions do not lose any previously complete
case relative to that pre-feature snapshot.

Correct the runner fixture to expect unconsumed CREATE TABLE definitions and
unknown-command tails rather than claiming all input was consumed. The report
checks classification, status, AST presence and input consumption; it does not
establish node-by-node AST equivalence or production workload coverage. The
large generated diff also incorporates changes since the older committed
baseline and must not be read entirely as gains from this patch.

Validation: a forced full C++ rebuild passes 1,354 active tests with 37
backend-dependent skips and builds the corpus harness. All 87 compatibility
harness tests pass and all 33,534 regenerated CI cases replay successfully.
These are correctness fixtures and coverage reports; timing benchmarks and
benchmark harnesses are intentionally excluded.
Document the new query grammar, supported transaction and COPY forms, and
multi-statement parsing API with source offsets and per-statement results.
State the lifetime requirements for input text and parser-arena ASTs, the
limits of batch recovery, and the distinction between parsing a construct
and executing it in the local query engine. Explain that window expressions
now appear in emitted SQL and therefore change affected digest values.

Add examples and contracts for bounded traversal, owning deep copies,
validated subtree replacement and parameterization of copied ASTs. Cover
PostgreSQL numbered binds, MySQL emitted parameter positions, literal/source
mappings, preserved syntax constants, allocation behavior and contexts that
must fail explicitly instead of yielding misleading rewritten SQL.

Link both API guides from the README, correct its stale AstNode size claim
to 48 bytes, and distinguish historical acceptance figures from complete-input
AST coverage. Retain the implementation design and completion evidence with
the user's current dedicated-branch instructions and benchmark exclusion.

Documentation reflects the final forced build: 1,354 active C++ tests pass,
37 backend-dependent tests are skipped, 87 compatibility harness tests pass,
and 33,534 refreshed CI fixtures replay successfully. Benchmark reports,
harness code, build-ignore changes and new benchmark links remain uncommitted.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to de06d

This change broadens PostgreSQL parsing substantially, but several common queries are still handled incorrectly. Simple string concatenation can no longer be planned locally. Three-part column names are rewritten in a way that changes their meaning. Valid alias column lists such as j(key, value) are rejected, and some invalid transaction commands are accepted. Resolve these regressions before merging.

Clarify the template rule for generic helpers.

CLAUDE.md says all parser-side templates use Dialect D, so walk_ast falls under the current wording despite having no dialect-specific behavior. Arena::allocate_typed<T> and keyword_hash::build_table<KeywordEntry, N> use the same generic-helper pattern. Adding an unused Dialect D would satisfy the wording only nominally; document a narrow exception instead.

Suggested guidance fix
-Everything parser-side is in `namespace sql_parser`. All templates are parameterized on `Dialect D`.
+Everything parser-side is in `namespace sql_parser`. Templates with dialect-specific behavior use `Dialect D`; dialect-independent generic helpers are exempt.

Inline comments:
In `@include/sql_parser/compound_query_parser.h`:
- Around line 231-232: Update the PostgreSQL LIMIT handling in the plan builder
so a NODE_IDENTIFIER representing ALL preserves the existing -1 unlimited count
instead of passing through parse_int_literal; retain normal count parsing for
other values and apply the behavior to LIMIT ALL with or without OFFSET. Add
plan-builder tests for both forms.

In `@include/sql_parser/emitter.h`:
- Around line 65-72: Update emit_node in the Sql emitter to return safely when
its node argument is null, and guard child emission in NODE_AGGREGATE_FILTER,
NODE_WINDOW_FUNCTION, and emit_window_frame before dereferencing or passing
potentially null children; preserve the surrounding SQL output for children that
are present.

In `@include/sql_parser/expression_parser.h`:
- Around line 859-868: Update parse_window_spec in expression_parser.h so MySQL
dialects also enter the window-frame parsing path for ROWS and RANGE, not just
PostgreSQL, while keeping GROUPS and EXCLUDE handling PostgreSQL-only. Use
parse_window_frame() for the shared frame-units logic, preserve the existing
syntax_error()/tok_.skip() flow after the frame, and ensure the
closing-parenthesis check no longer rejects valid MySQL OVER (...) frames.

In `@include/sql_parser/pg_utility_parser.h`:
- Around line 210-218: Update `identifier()` to accept the same non-reserved
keyword token types as expressions, reusing
`ExpressionParser<D>::is_keyword_as_identifier` and exposing that helper if
necessary. Preserve rejection of reserved structural words so valid names in
COPY and SAVEPOINT statements parse successfully.
- Around line 23-89: Add a RELEASE_SAVEPOINT case to the transaction statement
switch in the session handler so RELEASE statements do not fall through to DML
planning. Extract the savepoint name from the parsed result using the existing
SAVEPOINT case’s conventions, call the transaction manager’s savepoint-release
operation, and return its success or failure as a DmlResult.

In `@include/sql_parser/select_parser.h`:
- Around line 297-302: Update alias construction in the SELECT parser to use
make_node_from_token so NODE_ALIAS stores bare identifier text and retains its
source; set FLAG_IDENT_DELIMITED when the token is delimited. Ensure alias
emission uses emit_identifier rather than emit_value so delimited aliases
preserve their original spelling.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 329: Update the architecture diagram’s node size label to match the
documented 48-byte AstNode layout, and keep the rest of the diagram unchanged.
Use the existing AstNode/diagram block in the README so the size annotation is
consistent with the intrusive linked-list structure and source-span fields
already described.

Keep PostgreSQL LIMIT ALL unbounded in the plan.

Parsing ALL succeeds and produces a NODE_IDENTIFIER. The plan builder passes it to parse_int_literal(), which returns 0 because ALL has no digits. LimitOperator then emits no rows. Preserve the plan’s -1 unlimited sentinel for LIMIT ALL, including LIMIT ALL OFFSET n. Add plan-builder tests for both forms.

The new emit code crashes on missing children.

emit_node reads node->type without a null check. NODE_AGGREGATE_FILTER and NODE_WINDOW_FUNCTION read node->first_child->next_sibling. emit_window_frame calls emit_node(bound) when bound can be null. The parser always builds these children. The new replace_ast_subtree(root, x, nullptr) API can remove them, and the emitter then dereferences null. The existing emitters guard each child (if (left) emit_node(left)); apply the same pattern here.

<title>MySQL :: MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual :: 14.20.3 Window Function Frame Specification</title> https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/window-functions-frames.html ### 14.20.3 Window Function Frame Specification The definition of a window used with a window function can include a frame clause. A frame is a subset of the current partition and the frame clause specifies how to define the subset. Frames are determined with respect to the current row, which enables a frame to move within a partition depending on the location of the current row within its partition. Examples: ... Standard SQL specifies that window functions that operate on the entire partition should have no frame clause. MySQL permits a frame clause for such functions but ignores it. These functions use the entire partition even if a frame is specified: ... ```sql CUME_DIST() DENSE_RANK() LAG() LEAD() NTILE() PERCENT_RANK() RANK() ROW_NUMBER() ... ``` The frame clause, if given, has this syntax: ```sql frame_clause: frame_units frame_extent frame_units: {ROWS | RANGE} ``` In the absence of a frame clause, the default frame depends on whether an `ORDER BY` clause is present, as described later in this section. The `frame_units` value indicates the type of relationship between the current row and frame rows: - `ROWS`: The frame is defined by beginning and ending row positions. Offsets are differences in row numbers from the current row number. - `RANGE`: The frame is defined by rows within a value range. Offsets are differences in row values from the current row value. The `frame_extent` value indicates the start and end points of the frame. You can specify just the start of the frame (in which case the current row is implicitly the end) or use `BETWEEN` to specify both frame endpoints: ```sql frame_extent: {frame_start | frame_between} frame_between: BETWEEN frame_start AND frame_end frame_start, frame_end: { CURRENT ROW | UNBOUNDED PRECEDING | UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING | expr PRECEDING | expr FOLLOWING } ``` With `BETWEEN` syntax, `frame_start` must not occur later than `frame_end`. The permitted `frame_start` and `frame_end` values have these meanings: - `CURRENT ROW`: For `ROWS`, the bound is the current row. For `RANGE`, the bound is the peers of the current row. - `UNBOUNDED PRECEDING`: The bound is the first partition row. - `UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING`: The bound is the last partition row. - `expr PRECEDING`: For `ROWS`, the bound is `expr` rows before the current row. For `RANGE`, the bound is the rows with values equal to the current row value minus `expr`; if the current row value is `NULL`, the bound is the peers of the row. For `expr PRECEDING` (and `expr FOLLOWING`), `expr` can be a `?` parameter marker (for use in a prepared statement), a nonnegative numeric literal, or a temporal interval of the form `INTERVAL val unit`. For `INTERVAL` expressions, `val` specifies nonnegative interval value, and `unit` is a keyword indicating the units in which the value should be interpreted. (For details about the permitted `units` specifiers, see the description of the `DATE_ADD()` function in Section 14.7, “Date and Time Functions”.) `RANGE` on a numeric or temporal `expr` requires `ORDER BY` on a numeric or temporal expression, respectively. Examples of valid `expr PRECEDING` and `expr FOLLOWING` indicators: ```sql 10 PRECEDING INTERVAL 5 DAY PRECEDING 5 FOLLOWING INTERVAL &`#39`;2:30&`#39`; MINUTE_SECOND FOLLOWING ... - `expr FOLLOWING`: For `ROWS`, the bound is `expr` rows after the current row. For `RANGE`, the bound is the rows with values equal to the current row value plus `expr`; if the current row value is `NULL`, the bound is the peers of the row. For permitted values of `expr`, see the description of `expr PRECEDING`. The following query demonstrates `FIRST_VALUE()`, `LAST_VALUE()`, and two instances of `NTH_VALUE()`: ... Each function uses the rows in the current frame, which, per the window definition shown, extends from the first partition row to the current row. For the `NTH_VALUE()` calls, the current frame does not always include the requested row; in such cases, the return value is `NULL`. In the absence of a f…[truncated]

Parse MySQL ROWS and RANGE frames.

MySQL accepts these frame units. For OVER (ORDER BY x ROWS ...), parse_window_spec() skips frame parsing for MySQL and fails its closing-parenthesis check at ROWS. The normal SELECT path then returns ParseResult::OK with an empty select-item list and leaves the frame in remaining, despite setting the tokenizer's fatal-error flag. Parse MySQL ROWS/RANGE frames while keeping PostgreSQL-only GROUPS and EXCLUDE handling gated.

RELEASE statements are misrouted to DML handling instead of transaction control.

When PostgreSQL RELEASE [SAVEPOINT] is parsed, PgUtilityParser::transaction() classifies it as StmtType::RELEASE_SAVEPOINT. The session handler in include/sql_engine/session.h switches on stmt_type and handles SAVEPOINT, BEGIN, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK via transaction manager methods, but has no case for RELEASE_SAVEPOINT. The default case breaks, and the statement falls through to DML planning (line 199+), where it is treated as a regular data manipulation statement and routed to DmlPlanBuilder.

The consequence is that RELEASE SAVEPOINT statements bypass transaction control handling and are incorrectly sent through distributed planner and DML execution paths instead of calling the transaction manager's savepoint-release operation.

Suggested fix

Add a case for RELEASE_SAVEPOINT in the transaction statement switch:

            case sql_parser::StmtType::SAVEPOINT: {
                DmlResult dr;
                // The savepoint name is in the AST value or table_name
                std::string name;
                if (pr.table_name.ptr && pr.table_name.len > 0)
                    name.assign(pr.table_name.ptr, pr.table_name.len);
                else if (pr.ast && pr.ast->value_ptr && pr.ast->value_len > 0)
                    name.assign(pr.ast->value_ptr, pr.ast->value_len);
                else
                    name = "sp";
                dr.success = txn_mgr_.savepoint(name.c_str());
                if (!dr.success) dr.error_message = "SAVEPOINT failed";
                return dr;
            }
+           case sql_parser::StmtType::RELEASE_SAVEPOINT: {
+               DmlResult dr;
+               std::string name;
+               if (pr.table_name.ptr && pr.table_name.len > 0)
+                   name.assign(pr.table_name.ptr, pr.table_name.len);
+               else if (pr.ast && pr.ast->value_ptr && pr.ast->value_len > 0)
+                   name.assign(pr.ast->value_ptr, pr.ast->value_len);
+               else

identifier() rejects valid table, column, and savepoint names.

identifier() accepts only TK_IDENTIFIER and TK_KEY. The tokenizer returns keyword token types for many PostgreSQL non-reserved words, such as TK_DATA, TK_FORMAT, TK_LEVEL, TK_SESSION, TK_NAMES, TK_LOCAL, TK_ROWS and TK_SUMMARY. Valid statements now return ParseResult::ERROR, for example COPY data FROM STDIN, COPY t (id, format) TO STDOUT and SAVEPOINT level. Before this change, the same COPY returned OK/UNKNOWN through extract_unknown, and SAVEPOINT returned OK through extract_transaction.

Accept the same non-reserved set that expressions accept. For example, make ExpressionParser<D>::is_keyword_as_identifier public and reuse it here.

Proposed fix
-        bool valid = t.type == TokenType::TK_IDENTIFIER || t.type == TokenType::TK_KEY;
+        bool valid = t.type == TokenType::TK_IDENTIFIER ||
+            ExpressionParser<Dialect::PostgreSQL>::is_keyword_as_identifier(t.type);

Add COPY data FROM STDIN and SAVEPOINT level to tests/test_pg_utilities.cpp.

Alias nodes store delimited identifier text; fix the construction and emission to separate value from source.

All five sites construct alias nodes with value = source.empty() ? text : source. For delimited identifiers like "My Alias" or `alias`, this stores the source text including delimiters as the node's value. The planner reads alias values directly in include/sql_engine/plan_builder.h:485,526 with c->value() and stores them without further processing, so result column names and table qualifiers will include the delimiter characters. This causes a mismatch between table aliases with delimiters and column references that store bare text.

The fix is complete and correct: use make_node_from_token, which sets value = text (bare text) and stores the full source separately. Set FLAG_IDENT_DELIMITED when delimiters are present. Emit NODE_ALIAS through emit_identifier instead of emit_value; emit_identifier respects the flag and emits the stored source text when present.

PostgreSQL casts and symbolic operators previously left many otherwise
supported queries unconsumed. Function-shaped CAST nodes also emitted SQL
without AS, and PostgreSQL operator precedence inherited MySQL behavior.
Implement these constructs directly in ParserSQL without a PostgreSQL
runtime dependency or change to the 48-byte AST layout.

Add validated type-name syntax and explicit expression/type cast children
for ::, CAST and supported type-prefixed string constants. Preserve qualified
and quoted names, numeric modifiers, array bounds, multiword types and
interval field ranges in cast types. Emit canonical CAST expressions and
parameterize only their values. Preserve unconstrained CHAR/BIT prefix
literal lengths using catalog type names, even across comments/whitespace.
Reject malformed builtin modifier arity, signs and interval placement.

Lex full PostgreSQL symbolic operator names, respecting embedded comments,
trailing sign rules and the 63-byte name limit. Add PostgreSQL precedence for
generic operators, exponentiation, predicates and COLLATE. Keep unary signs
separate during emission, and allow casts on completed collation/predicate
expressions. Mark operations unsupported by the local engine for explicit
planner rejection; MySQL operator and anonymous-bind behavior is unchanged.

Model => and := named arguments as nodes containing a name and value in
functions, table functions and CALL. Preserve quoted names, emit =>, bind
only values and reject malformed lists. Validate unquoted names against
PostgreSQL 18 type_function_name keyword categories, including keywords that
our tokenizer leaves as identifiers. Correct tokenization exposed 114
previously misrepresented named-argument calls; they now have proper ASTs.

Validation: failing tests preceded implementation and review fixes. The
forced complete build passes 1,370 active C++ tests with 37 backend-dependent
skips and builds the corpus harness. All 42 expression/AST tests pass under
AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer. Forty-six focused original
and emitted SQL pairs match PostgreSQL ASTs after removing source positions.
Independent review additionally verifies 494 keyword classifications and ten
argument checks. Compatibility snapshots and documentation follow separately.

This remains a bounded grammar expansion: qualified OPERATOR syntax, arbitrary
expression-valued type modifiers, all unquoted type keyword positions and
interval prefix-literal qualifiers remain unsupported. No benchmark files
or timing artifacts are included.
Refresh the pinned PostgreSQL 18.4 accepted-statement inventory, selected CI
fixtures and compatibility report after the native expression grammar changes.
The 51,415-statement corpus now contains 26,243 complete-input AST results,
up 7,104 from 19,139 before this expression phase. All transitions are gains:
7,074 trailing-input and 30 partial cases become complete; no previously
complete case is lost. Newly complete statements comprise 6,454 SELECT,
310 INSERT, 268 EXPLAIN, 55 UPDATE, 14 DELETE, two SET and one CALL.

Document canonical cast emission, typed-literal length preservation, lexical
type leaves, PostgreSQL symbolic operator precedence, collation and named
arguments. Explain bind preservation, appended token/node kinds, planner
rejection and remaining grammar limits. Update the AST parameterization guide
because supported PostgreSQL CAST and typed string constants now rewrite
correctly instead of being rejected as generic functions or string aliases.
Retain the authorized phase plan, review rulings and completion evidence.

The source commit recorded in the report identifies the same parser sources
as the working tree measured immediately before committing. Complete-input
coverage checks status, classification, AST presence and consumption; it is
not semantic equivalence or a representative production-workload percentage.
Type/operator/catalog resolution and complete PostgreSQL grammar remain
outside the scope of this increment.

Validation: 1,370 C++ tests pass with 37 backend-dependent skips; all 42 focused
AST/expression tests pass under ASan/UBSan; all 87 compatibility harness tests
and 26,835 refreshed CI fixtures pass. Forty-six focused SQL reconstructions
match PostgreSQL ASTs after source positions are removed, and independent
review checks all 494 keyword classifications plus ten argument cases.
Benchmarks, reports of timings and benchmark build artifacts remain local.

The typed-literal lookahead copied the tokenizer and scanned the token after
an identifier, then scanned it again on the normal expression path. Ordinary
column references and function names paid this cost even when the following
token could not form a type-prefixed literal.

Consume the leading name once and reuse the real tokenizer's cached next
token. Only copy tokenizer state when a following string, modifier list,
qualification or multiword type prefix warrants a type probe. Let the type
parser accept an already-consumed leading token, retaining the original
source span without rescanning it. Failed probes resume the ordinary name
or function parser with the same token boundary and quoting information.

This changes allocation-free lookahead, not grammar, AST shape or ownership.
It reduces the observed simple SELECT, JOIN and complex SELECT costs relative
to the first expression implementation. The broader grammar still has a
measurable cost relative to the earlier selective parser; performance claims
remain scoped to measured workloads and allocation modes.

Validation: the forced full C++ build passes 1,370 active tests with 37
backend-dependent skips and builds the corpus harness. All 42 focused
expression/AST tests pass under AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.
The direct Rust API benchmark validates complete AST parsing and canonical
SQL equivalence before timing. Benchmark sources, results and build artifacts
remain uncommitted.
Parse schema-qualified and quoted expression function names, DISTINCT/ALL
aggregate arguments, in-call ORDER BY with direction and null placement, and
WITHIN GROUP. Preserve these forms through FILTER/OVER and SQL emission.
Represent aggregate ordering with its own AST node so literal sort expressions
are parameterized as values instead of mistaken for SELECT output ordinals.
Reject incomplete calls, malformed ordering, incompatible aggregate modifiers,
and bare-star placements that PostgreSQL's grammar does not permit.

Extend PostgreSQL CTEs with output-column lists, materialization hints,
SELECT/TABLE/VALUES/compound bodies, and nested WITH queries. Share this query
parser with scalar and derived subqueries, including LATERAL, and preserve CTE
identifier source spelling and the existing body-first child layout. Emit full
WITH clauses, preserving RECURSIVE and quoted names. Keep MySQL query parsing
behavior and the 48-byte AST layout; append the new node kinds.

Propagate subquery errors without dereferencing null ASTs. Reject unsupported
aggregate and CTE semantics in the local engine before materialization, rather
than skipping an unbuildable CTE and accidentally reading a same-named physical
table. Nested/recursive CTE execution, column remapping, VALUES/TABLE execution,
and materialization hints remain unsupported. DML CTEs, SEARCH/CYCLE and full
PostgreSQL grammar parity remain outside this increment.

Add parse/emission, malformed-input, parameterization, AST-shape and real
executor shadowing regressions. Document supported forms and remaining gaps.
Validation: forced make all/build-corpus-test passed 1,381 tests (37 external
backend skips); 52 focused expression/AST sanitizer tests passed; 24 new
original/emitted SQL pairs produced equivalent PostgreSQL ASTs after removing
source positions. Independent review rechecked 20 grammar cases against the
pinned oracle and all three physical-table shadowing reproductions.

Benchmark harnesses, reports, samples and their README/ignore changes are
intentionally excluded from this commit.
Regenerate the PostgreSQL 18.4 correctness inventory and selected CI fixtures
against grammar commit 06058a7, using the existing pinned PostgreSQL/libpg_query
sources. The corpus remains 51,415 oracle-accepted statements; complete-input
AST results increase from 26,243 to 27,014 with no previously complete case lost.

The 771 gains comprise 638 SELECT, 123 EXPLAIN, nine UPDATE and one INSERT.
Another 79 trailing-input results and 42 statement-type mismatches now report
explicit errors because strict CTE/subquery/function parsing rejects syntax
outside the supported subset. These were not previously complete parses.
Refresh the backlog and transition report, and retain 26,159 selected CI cases
according to the existing selection policy.

Compare regenerated inventory rows with the independently replayed corpus,
then run the full compatibility workflow and its selected fixtures. All
51,415 baseline rows match and all 26,159 selected cases pass. The Python
compatibility harness also passes all 87 unit tests. Coverage counts describe
parse status, classification, AST presence and input consumption, not complete
semantic equivalence with PostgreSQL or production workload coverage.

Only correctness fixtures and compatibility documentation are included;
benchmark programs, timing data, reports and their ancillary edits remain
uncommitted as requested.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject PREPARED after the END and ABORT aliases.

The new dispatch sends END and ABORT to PgUtilityParser::transaction(). That parser marks them as commit or rollback, then uses the shared PREPARED branch.

As a result, END PREPARED 'gid' and ABORT PREPARED 'gid' return an OK, complete transaction AST. PostgreSQL defines the prepared forms as COMMIT PREPARED and ROLLBACK PREPARED; END is the ordinary COMMIT alias. (postgresql.org)

Track whether the first command was the canonical keyword. Permit PREPARED only for COMMIT and ROLLBACK. Add negative tests for both aliases.

Alias column lists reject valid PostgreSQL column names that are keywords.

The alias column-list loop accepts only TK_IDENTIFIER. Unreserved PostgreSQL keywords such as key (TK_KEY), data (TK_DATA), level, and format are separate token types. A common query such as SELECT * FROM json_each(x) AS j(key, value) therefore raises a syntax error.

PostgreSQL accepts ColId in this position. pg_column_name() already implements ColId for CTE column lists. Use the same check here, and preserve the delimited flag for quoted names.

Proposed fix
                 while (true) {
                     Token column = tok_.peek();
-                    if (column.type != TokenType::TK_IDENTIFIER) { expr_parser_.syntax_error(); return; }
+                    if (!pg_column_name(column)) { expr_parser_.syntax_error(); return; }
                     tok_.skip();
-                    alias->add_child(make_node(arena_, NodeType::NODE_IDENTIFIER,
-                        column.source.empty() ? column.text : column.source));
+                    alias->add_child(make_identifier(column));

Three-part names are emitted as field access on a column (s.t.c becomes (s.t).c).

For PostgreSQL, parse() now calls parse_postfix(left) after every atom. The qualified-name branch in parse_identifier_or_function consumes only one dot and returns NODE_QUALIFIED_NAME(s, t). parse_postfix then consumes .c and builds NODE_FIELD_ACCESS(qualified_name, c).

emit_field_access in include/sql_parser/emitter.h wraps every base that is not NODE_EXPRESSION in parentheses. SELECT s.t.c FROM s.t is therefore emitted as SELECT (s.t).c FROM s.t. PostgreSQL resolves (s.t) as column t of relation s, so the query changes meaning or fails.

The parser never produces an unparenthesized field-access base from parenthesized source, because parenthesized source produces a NODE_EXPRESSION wrapper. Emit NODE_QUALIFIED_NAME and chained NODE_FIELD_ACCESS bases without adding parentheses. Also add a round-trip test for s.t.c and (x).a.b.

Proposed fix in include/sql_parser/emitter.h (emit_field_access)
-        if (expr && expr->type == NodeType::NODE_EXPRESSION) emit_node(expr);
+        if (expr && (expr->type == NodeType::NODE_EXPRESSION ||
+                     expr->type == NodeType::NODE_QUALIFIED_NAME ||
+                     expr->type == NodeType::NODE_FIELD_ACCESS)) emit_node(expr);

Keep supported PostgreSQL operators on the local-engine path.

scan_token() calls scan_pg_operator() before the generic two-character operator handling. Because scan_pg_operator() does not map ||, PostgreSQL concatenation becomes TK_PG_OPERATOR. parse_infix() then sets FLAG_PG_OPERATOR, and PlanBuilder rejects the binary expression. PostgreSQL evaluator tests already support ||, so SELECT 'a' || 'b' cannot reach that evaluator through plan construction.

Map || to TK_DOUBLE_PIPE. Apply the same approach to <<, >>, &, and | only when the evaluator supports those operators.
