Breaking changes

  • The pglast.parser module exposes all libpg_query entry points, even the new pg_query_deparse_protobuf() function that is basically equivalent to RawStream-based printer

  • The split() function is now based on the lower level pg_query_split_with_xxx() functions

  • The parse_sql() function returns native Python objects, not a JSON string as before: all PG nodes are now represented by subclasses of pglast.ast.Node, without exception, even Expr and Value are there. The latter impacts on pglast.node.Scalar: for example it now may contains a ast.Integer instance instead of a Python int

  • The pgpp --parse-tree output is a pprint represention of the AST, not a JSON string as before

  • The ParseError exception does not expose the location as an instance member anymore, although its still there, as the second argument (ie .args[1]); furthermore, its value now corresponds to the index in the original Unicode string, instead of the offset in the UTF-8 representation passed to the underlying C function

Important

The name of the package has been changed from pg_query to pglast, to satisfy the request made by the author of libpg_query in issue #9.

This affects both the main repository on GitHub, that from now on is https://github.com/lelit/pglast, and the ReadTheDocs project that hosts the documentation, http://pglast.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
