A fork of the official Go version of pg_query_go, used in Acra as the source PostgreSQL parser.
This Go library and its cgo extension use the actual PostgreSQL server source to parse SQL queries and return the internal PostgreSQL parse tree.
You can find further background to why a query's parse tree is useful here: https://pganalyze.com/blog/parse-postgresql-queries-in-ruby.html
go get github.com/pganalyze/pg_query_go/v5@latest
Due to compiling parts of PostgreSQL, the first time you build against this library it will take a bit longer.
Expect up to 3 minutes. You can use go build -x to see the progress.
When integrating this library using Go modules, and using a vendor/ directory, you will need to explicitly copy over some of the C build files, since Go does not copy files in subfolders without .go files whilst vendoring.
The best way to do so is to use modvendor, and vendor your modules like this:
go mod vendor
go get -u github.com/goware/modvendor
modvendor -copy="**/*.c **/*.h **/*.proto" -v
Put the following in a new Go package, after having installed pg_query as above:
package main
import (
"fmt"
pg_query "github.com/pganalyze/pg_query_go/v5"
)
func main() {
tree, err := pg_query.ParseToJSON("SELECT 1")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", tree)
}Running will output the query's parse tree as JSON:
{"version":160001,"stmts":[{"stmt":{"SelectStmt":{"targetList":[{"ResTarget":{"val":{"A_Const":{"ival":{"ival":1},"location":7}},"location":7}}],"limitOption":"LIMIT_OPTION_DEFAULT","op":"SETOP_NONE"}}}]}When working with the query information inside Go its recommended you use the Parse() method which returns Go structs:
package main
import (
"fmt"
pg_query "github.com/pganalyze/pg_query_go/v5"
)
func main() {
result, err := pg_query.Parse("SELECT 42")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// This will output "42"
fmt.Printf("%d\n", result.Stmts[0].Stmt.GetSelectStmt().GetTargetList()[0].GetResTarget().GetVal().GetAConst().GetIval().Ival)
}You can find all the node types in the pg_query.pb.go Protobuf definition.
In order to go back from a parse tree to a SQL statement, you can use the deparsing functionality:
package main
import (
"fmt"
pg_query "github.com/pganalyze/pg_query_go/v5"
)
func main() {
result, err := pg_query.Parse("SELECT 42")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
result.Stmts[0].Stmt.GetSelectStmt().GetTargetList()[0].GetResTarget().Val = pg_query.MakeAConstStrNode("Hello World", -1)
stmt, err := pg_query.Deparse(result)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", stmt)
}This will output the following:
SELECT 'Hello World'
Note that it is currently not recommended to pass unsanitized input to the deparser, as it may lead to crashes.
Put the following in a new Go package, after having installed pg_query as above:
package main
import (
"fmt"
pg_query "github.com/pganalyze/pg_query_go/v5"
)
func main() {
tree, err := pg_query.ParsePlPgSqlToJSON(
`CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION cs_fmt_browser_version(v_name varchar, v_version varchar)
RETURNS varchar AS $$
BEGIN
IF v_version IS NULL THEN
RETURN v_name;
END IF;
RETURN v_name || '/' || v_version;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;`)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", tree)
}Running will output the functions's parse tree as JSON:
$ go run main.go
[
{"PLpgSQL_function":{"datums":[{"PLpgSQL_var":{"refname":"v_name","datatype":{"PLpgSQL_type":{"typname":"UNKNOWN"}}}},{"PLpgSQL_var":{"refname":"v_version","datatype":{"PLpgSQL_type":{"typname":"UNKNOWN"}}}},{"PLpgSQL_var":{"refname":"found","datatype":{"PLpgSQL_type":{"typname":"UNKNOWN"}}}}],"action":{"PLpgSQL_stmt_block":{"lineno":2,"body":[{"PLpgSQL_stmt_if":{"lineno":3,"cond":{"PLpgSQL_expr":{"query":"v_version IS NULL"}},"then_body":[{"PLpgSQL_stmt_return":{"lineno":4,"expr":{"PLpgSQL_expr":{"query":"v_name"}}}}]}},{"PLpgSQL_stmt_return":{"lineno":6,"expr":{"PLpgSQL_expr":{"query":"v_name || '/' || v_version"}}}}]}}}}
