  • New feature / enhancement (a change that adds new functionality)
  • Refactor (no behaviour change)
  • Test coverage
  • Build / CI / tooling
  • Documentation

Testing

  • Unit tests added / updated
  • Integration tests added / updated
  • Full test suite run (make test_all with CONNECTION_STRING set)

Screenshots (if appropriate):

Driver Impact

  • PostgreSQL driver (drivers/pg)
  • Neo4j driver (drivers/neo4j)

Checklist

  • Code is formatted
  • All existing tests pass
  • go.mod / go.sum are up to date if dependencies changed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • PostgreSQL-generated SQL now uses parameters for literal values, improving safety and consistency while preserving query behavior.
    • SQL output and associated parameters are handled together across translation, execution, caching, and query visualization tools.
    • Graph loading now validates edge kinds before writing data and reports failures early.
  • Bug Fixes

    • EXPLAIN and query execution now use the generated SQL statement and its complete parameter set, improving plan accuracy and runtime results.
    • Materialized SQL output preserves required casts and safely escapes literal values.

Changes

PostgreSQL translation parameters

Layer / File(s) Summary
Structured formatter and identifier generation
cypher/models/pgsql/format/*, cypher/models/pgsql/id_generator.go
Formatting now returns structured SQL with extracted and materialized parameters. Identifier generation moved to the pgsql package.
Translation integration and assertions
cypher/models/pgsql/translate/*, cypher/models/pgsql/test/testcase.go, cypher/models/pgsql/visualization/*
Translation and related assertions now use Formatted.Statement and merge generated parameters.
Parameterized translation fixtures
cypher/models/pgsql/test/translation_cases/*
Fixtures now use PostgreSQL placeholders and pgsql_params metadata for embedded literals.
Compilation, cache, and SQL execution
drivers/pg/*, cmd/*, integration/*, query/v2/*, tools/dawgrun/*
Compilation, cache hits, EXPLAIN paths, integrations, and command output now preserve and pass structured SQL parameters.
Graph kind validation
opengraph/load.go
Graph loading validates edge kinds before writing graph data.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 96950

PostgreSQL queries containing string-array literals fail during formatting instead of executing with bound text-array values. Add the missing dispatch before merging.

Preserve generated bindings with captured SQL.

record.Params contains only query.Params, while generated bindings such as @__strlit0 are merged only into translation.Parameters. If PlanRecord.SQL and PlanRecord.Params are replayed together, record.Params lacks those bindings. Merge the generated parameters into record.Params before storing record.SQL.

Route []string values to formatSlice.

AsLiteral preserves []string and assigns TextArray. formatLiteral then sends the value to formatValue, which has no case []string, so it returns unsupported literal type instead of producing a parameterized PostgreSQL text array.

Proposed fix
 case []int64:
     return formatSlice(builder, typedValue, pgsql.Int8Array)

+case []string:
+    return formatSlice(builder, typedValue, pgsql.TextArray)

 case bool:
