Description
Abstract
Qualified names like of the form <table>.<column>
are sometimes parsed as functions, like in:
SELECT t.user FROM t;
Current Behavior
This is done with cargo run --example cli -- test.sql --generic
:
select t.user from t;
results in:
[
Query(
Query {
with: None,
body: Select(
Select {
select_token: TokenWithSpan {
token: Word(
Word {
value: "select",
quote_style: None,
keyword: SELECT,
},
),
span: Span(Location(1,1)..Location(1,7)),
},
distinct: None,
top: None,
top_before_distinct: false,
projection: [
UnnamedExpr(
Function(
Function {
name: ObjectName(
[
Identifier(
Ident {

},
),
Identifier(
Ident {
value: "user",
quote_style: None,
span: Span(Location(1,10)..Location(1,14)),
},
),
],
),

),
],

TableWithJoins {

[
Identifier(
Ident {

quote_style: None,

},

],

]
and cargo run --example cli -- test.sql --postgres
is the same:
[
Query(
Query {
with: None,
body: Select(
Select {
select_token: TokenWithSpan {
token: Word(
Word {

Expected Behavior
I think this should parse similar to
select t.foo from t;
with cargo run --example cli -- test.sql --generic
:
[
Query(
Query {
with: None,
body: Select(
Select {
select_token: TokenWithSpan {
token: Word(
Word {
value: "select",
quote_style: None,
keyword: SELECT,
},
),
span: Span(Location(1,1)..Location(1,7)),
},
distinct: None,
top: None,
top_before_distinct: false,
projection: [
UnnamedExpr(
CompoundIdentifier(
[
Ident {
value: "t",
quote_style: None,
span: Span(Location(1,8)..Location(1,9)),
},
Ident {
value: "foo",
quote_style: None,
span: Span(Location(1,10)..Location(1,13)),
},
],
),
),
],
into: None,
from: [
TableWithJoins {
relation: Table {
name: ObjectName(
[
Identifier(
Ident {
value: "t",
quote_style: None,
span: Span(Location(1,19)..Location(1,20)),
},
),
],
),
alias: None,
args: None,
with_hints: [],
version: None,
with_ordinality: false,
partitions: [],
json_path: None,
sample: None,
index_hints: [],
},
joins: [],
},
],
lateral_views: [],
prewhere: None,
selection: None,
group_by: Expressions(
[],
[],
),
cluster_by: [],
distribute_by: [],
sort_by: [],
having: None,
named_window: [],
qualify: None,
window_before_qualify: false,
value_table_mode: None,

),

Others
Also see PostgreSQL:
psql (17.5 (Debian 17.5-1.pgdg120+1))
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# create table t(a int, "user" text);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into t values (1, 'foo');
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select t.user from t;
user
------
foo
(1 row)
Interestingly, even the plain user
works:
postgres=# select user from t;
user
----------
postgres
(1 row)
References
- a potentially valid case of treating
user
as a function: where clause contains user column error #1658 - downstream: Error when use
user
field in where clause datafusion#14141
