fix: improve PG13->PG14 AST conversion with enhanced function handling

Summary

This PR enhances the PostgreSQL AST transformation from version 13 to 14, focusing on function parameter modes, enum mappings, and pg_catalog prefix handling. The changes improve test coverage from an initial failing state to 228/258 passing tests (30 still failing).

Key improvements:

  • Enhanced variadic parameter detection for polymorphic types (any, anyarray)
  • Added logic to preserve existing FUNC_PARAM_VARIADIC modes instead of incorrectly overriding them
  • Implemented pg_catalog prefix addition for SQL standard functions (btrim, trim, ltrim, rtrim, etc.)
  • Refined context-aware transformation logic for function calls and parameter handling

Remaining challenges: 30 tests still fail across various categories including function prefixes, enum mappings, and parameter mode transformations.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify no regressions: Run the full test suite to confirm 228+ tests still pass and no previously passing tests were broken
  • Test variadic parameter logic: Check that functions with VARIADIC parameters (especially polymorphic ones) preserve their parameter modes correctly
  • Validate pg_catalog prefix behavior: Ensure the new prefix logic only affects intended SQL standard functions and doesn't break existing function calls
  • Review remaining failures: Examine some of the 30 still-failing tests to validate that the overall approach is sound
  • Spot-check enum mappings: Verify that TableLikeOption and FunctionParameterMode transformations align with PG13->PG14 changes

Recommended test plan: Run yarn test __tests__/kitchen-sink/13-14 and sample a few failing tests from different categories (polymorphism, aggregates, create_index) to ensure the transformation logic is working as expected.

Notes

  • Session context: This work was requested by Dan Lynch (@pyramation) to complete PG13->PG14 AST conversion
  • Link to Devin run: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/685b5e38600849cea91d4514504090ad
  • Architecture improvement: The transformation logic is now more context-aware and handles edge cases better, though 30 test failures remain to be addressed
  • Risk areas: The variadic parameter detection and pg_catalog prefix logic involve complex conditional logic that may have unintended side effects on edge cases not covered by the current test suite

…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

- 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
