What problem does it solve?

PostgreSQL's parser and grammar are complex, and understanding gram.y and related parser code helps implement and validate DDL generation and SQL parsing in pgschema.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a structured map of grammar rules (gram.y, parse utilities) to guide DDL generation and SQL interpretation.
  • Serves as a reference for debugging, extending support across PostgreSQL versions 14-18, and aligning internal diff logic with actual parser behavior.
  • Use cases include understanding CREATE/ALTER/DROP statement syntax, exploring tokenization, and validating SQL structures when implementing pgschema features.

Quick Start

Consult the grammar reference before implementing or reviewing SQL parsing logic to confirm syntax and token rules for your target DDL statements.
