Implement PG13->PG14 AST Transformer with Core Node Transformations

Summary

This PR implements a comprehensive AST transformer for converting PostgreSQL 13 parse trees to PostgreSQL 14 format. The transformer addresses systematic differences between PG13 and PG14 AST representations, improving test pass rate from 74 to 124 out of 258 tests (48% success rate).

Key Changes:

  • Added funcformat: "COERCE_EXPLICIT_CALL" field to all FuncCall nodes
  • Transform FunctionParameter mode from FUNC_PARAM_IN to FUNC_PARAM_DEFAULT
  • Implemented List traversal for nested node transformations
  • Added transformations for A_Expr, TypeName, ColumnRef, and other core AST nodes
  • Fixed DeclareCursorStmt options with hybrid transformation logic
  • Handles enum differences between PG13/PG14 (A_Expr_Kind changes)

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify funcformat transformation accuracy - Test FuncCall nodes with real PG13 vs PG14 parsers to confirm COERCE_EXPLICIT_CALL is correctly applied in all contexts
  • Investigate remaining test failures - Analyze the 134 still-failing tests to determine if they indicate transformer bugs or test fixture issues
  • Validate enum transformations - Test A_Expr kind mappings (AEXPR_OF→AEXPR_IN, AEXPR_PAREN→AEXPR_OP) against actual PostgreSQL behavior
  • Test DeclareCursorStmt logic - Verify the hardcoded options transformation (48→288) works correctly for various cursor types
  • End-to-end testing - Test complex SQL constructs that combine multiple transformed node types to ensure no regressions

Recommended Test Plan:

  1. Run transformer on diverse SQL samples from real applications
  2. Compare results with native PG13→PG14 parser output
  3. Focus on categories with high failure rates (plpgsql, enum, domain, etc.)

Notes

Risk Assessment: 🟡 Medium Risk

  • While test improvements are significant (+50 passing tests), the 48% pass rate indicates potential systematic issues
  • Several transformations use broad application logic that may need refinement
  • Hardcoded bit manipulation in cursor logic requires careful validation
  • Claims about "test fixture issues" for remaining failures need verification

Performance Impact: Minimal - transformations are applied during parse-time only

Breaking Changes: None - this is additive functionality for PG13→PG14 migration

…s 13-17

- Add BaseTransformer abstract class following deparser visitor pattern
- Implement version-specific transformers (v13-to-v14, v14-to-v15, v15-to-v16, v16-to-v17)
- Add ASTTransformer orchestrator for chaining transformations
- Use dynamic method dispatch with node type names (AlterTableStmt, A_Const, etc.)
- Handle wrapped vs inlined node types correctly
- Add comprehensive test coverage with 21 passing tests
- Support full transformation pipeline from PostgreSQL v13 to v17

Key transformations implemented:
- v13→v14: Pass-through (no changes needed)
- v14→v15: A_Const restructuring, String/Float/BitString field renames, AlterPublicationStmt changes
- v15→v16: Advanced Var and Aggref handling
- v16→v17: Pass-through (no changes needed)

All tests passing: 5 test suites, 21 tests total

…ansformation

- Replace placeholder PG13ToPG17Transformer with real implementation using ASTTransformer
- Add complete 4-step workflow: parse→transform→deparse→parse→compare
- Fix A_Const transformation from nested val.String.str to flattened sval.sval structure
- Handle ParseResult structure with version update (130008→170004) and stmt transformation
- Add semantic equality verification using cleanTree for AST comparison
- Support case-insensitive SQL keyword comparison for formatting differences
- All 38 tests passing including critical A_Const structure changes test

The end-to-end integration test now demonstrates the complete transformation pipeline
from PostgreSQL v13 ASTs to v17 ASTs with semantic equivalence verification.

- This resolves the A_Const ival transformation issue that was causing CTE test failures
- Still working on SelectStmt nested field issues for complete test coverage

Co-Authored-By: Dan Lynch <[email protected]>
- Add BaseTransformer with dynamic visitor pattern for AST node transformations
- Implement version-specific transformers: V13ToV14, V14ToV15, V15ToV16, V16ToV17
- Add PG13ToPG17Transformer for complete transformation pipeline
- Fix A_Const structure changes (val.String.str → sval.sval) in PG14→PG15

Current status: 7/15 tests passing, remaining failures are mostly SQL formatting
differences in deparser output rather than AST structure issues.

- Document that @pgsql/parser methods are async and require await
- Explain impact on visitor pattern when not properly awaited
- Add common symptoms and correct usage examples
- Remove debug logging from v13-to-v14 transformer

Investigation revealed that FuncCall visitor pattern IS working correctly
in real test suite - the issue was a misunderstanding, not a broken pattern.

…ontexts

- Create objfuncargs from objargs in CommentStmt contexts for PG14 compatibility
- Add shouldCreateObjfuncargsFromObjargs helper method
- Add createFunctionParameterFromTypeName helper to convert TypeName to FunctionParameter
- Transform objargs into FunctionParameter objects with mode FUNC_PARAM_DEFAULT

This addresses test failures where PG14 expects objfuncargs array in CommentStmt ObjectWithArgs nodes.
