@LukasFittl Hacking PostgreSQL to Gain SQL Parsing Superpowers @LukasFittl
@LukasFittl Parsing SQL
@LukasFittl SELECT * FROM x WHERE z = 1
@LukasFittl http://xkcd.com/208/
@LukasFittl PostgreSQL
@LukasFittl EXPLAIN (PARSETREE TRUE) SELECT * FROM x
WHERE y = 1 Unfortunately doesn’t exist.
@LukasFittl Parse Statement raw_parse(..) pg_catalog Rewrite Query Query Planner Execute
How PostgreSQL runs a Query:
@LukasFittl tree = raw_parser(query_str); str = nodeToString(tree); printf(str); ({SELECT :distinctClause
<> :intoClause <> :targetList ( {RESTARGET :name <> :indirection <> :val {COLUMNREF :fields ({A_STAR}) :location 7} :location 7}) :fromClause ( {RANGEVAR :schemaname <> :relname x :inhOpt 2 :relpersistence p :alias <> :location 14}) :whereClause {AEXPR :name (“=") :lexpr {COLUMNREF :fields ("y") :location 22} :rexpr {PARAMREF :number 0 :location 26} :location 24} :groupClause <> :havingClause <> :windowClause <>
@LukasFittl Parse Statement raw_parse(..) pg_catalog Rewrite Query Query Planner Execute
@LukasFittl PgQuery._raw_parse( “SELECT * FROM x WHERE y = 1”)
({SELECT :distinctClause <> :intoClause <> :targetList ( {RESTARGET :name <> :indirection <> :val {COLUMNREF :fields ({A_STAR}) :location 7} :location 7}) :fromClause ( {RANGEVAR :schemaname <> :relname x :inhOpt 2 :relpersistence p :alias <> :location 14}) :whereClause {AEXPR :name (“=") :lexpr {COLUMNREF :fields ("y") :location 22} :rexpr {PARAMREF :number 0 :location 26} :location 24} :groupClause <> :havingClause <> :windowClause <> :valuesLists <>
@LukasFittl PgQuery._raw_parse( “SELECT * FROM x WHERE y = 1”)
[{ "SelectStmt": { "targetList": [{ "ResTarget": { "val": { "ColumnRef": { "fields": [{ "A_Star": {} }], "location": 7 } }, "location": 7 } }], "fromClause": [{ "RangeVar": { "relname": "x", "inhOpt": 2, "relpersistence": "p", "location": 14 } }], "whereClause": { "A_Expr": {
@LukasFittl github.com/lfittl/pg_query
@LukasFittl De-Parsing SQL
@LukasFittl SELECT * FROM the_table SELECT * FROM a_better_table
@LukasFittl q = PgQuery.parse(‘SELECT * FROM the_table’) =>
[{"SelectStmt" => { "targetList" =>[…], "fromClause" => [{ "RangeVar" => { "relname" => “the_table", … } }] }}] q.tree[0][‘SelectStmt']['fromClause'][0][‘RangeVar'] ['relname'] = ‘the_other_table' q.deparse => "SELECT * FROM \"the_other_table\"
@LukasFittl Don’t like JSON?
@LukasFittl pg_query_go package main import ( "github.com/lfittl/pg_query_go"
) func main() { tree, err := pg_query.Parse("SELECT 1") if err != nil { panic(err); } … }
@LukasFittl pg_query.ParsetreeList{ Statements: []nodes.Node{
nodes.SelectStmt{ TargetList: []nodes.Node{ nodes.ResTarget{ Val: nodes.A_Const{ Type: "integer", Val: nodes.Value{ Type: nodes.T_Integer, Ival: 1, }, Location: 7, }, Location: 7, }, }, }, }, tree := pg_query.Parse(“SELECT 1")
@LukasFittl Other Languages C/C++: libpg_query Go: pg_query_go Node.js: pg-query-parser Not
yet: Python, Java, [?]
@LukasFittl Shameless Plug: github.com/citusdata/citus Open-source, distributed PostgreSQL
