feat: Parser enhancements batch 3 - Security scanner, lint rules & RETURNING clause

[ajitpratap0]

Summary

This PR delivers three major enhancements to GoSQLX:

1. Security Scanner CLI Integration ([Analyze] Security scanner fails to detect common SQL injection patterns #154) - SQL injection pattern detection now works in the CLI analyzer
2. Phase 1 Lint Rules Complete ([Lint] Complete Phase 1 lint rules (7 remaining) #155) - All 10 lint rules (L001-L010) are now implemented
3. RETURNING Clause Support ([Parser] Support PostgreSQL RETURNING clause #159) - PostgreSQL-style RETURNING clause for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE

Changes

Security Scanner Integration (#154)

• Integrated pkg/sql/security scanner into CLI's SQLAnalyzer.Analyze() method
• Detects SQL injection patterns: tautologies ('1'='1'), UNION-based, time-based, out-of-band
• Added convertSecurityFindings() to map security findings to unified AnalysisIssue format
• Security score adjusts based on finding severity (critical/high/medium/low)

Phase 1 Lint Rules Complete (#155)

Added 7 new lint rules, bringing the total to 10:

Rule	Name	Description	Auto-Fix
L003	Consecutive Blank Lines	Detects multiple blank lines	✅
L004	Indentation Depth	Warns on excessive nesting (>4 levels)	❌
L006	Column Alignment	Checks SELECT column alignment	❌
L007	Keyword Case	Enforces uppercase/lowercase keywords	✅
L008	Comma Placement	Checks trailing vs leading comma style	❌
L009	Aliasing Consistency	Detects mixed table aliasing	❌
L010	Redundant Whitespace	Finds multiple consecutive spaces	✅

New Rule Packages:

• pkg/linter/rules/keywords/ - Keyword case rule (L007)
• pkg/linter/rules/style/ - Column alignment (L006), comma placement (L008), aliasing (L009)

RETURNING Clause Support (#159)

• Added TokenTypeReturning (379) for RETURNING keyword tokenization
• Parser now supports RETURNING clause for:
  • INSERT INTO ... RETURNING *
  • UPDATE ... RETURNING id, name
  • DELETE FROM ... RETURNING *
• Added parseReturningColumns() for parsing return expressions
• Supports: column names, *, qualified names (table.column), expressions

Additional Improvements

• Extended keyword definitions: ADD, COLUMN, CONSTRAINT, RENAME, TO
• SQL formatter now handles *ast.AlterStatement type
• Fixed L004 bug: depth > 9 now displays correctly (was showing garbage characters)
• Comprehensive battle tests for all lint rules (50+ test cases)

• pkg/sql/keywords/keywords.go - RETURNING + ALTER keywords
• pkg/sql/parser/dml.go - RETURNING clause parsing
• pkg/sql/parser/parser_targeted_coverage_test.go - Parser tests
• pkg/sql/tokenizer/tokenizer.go - Minor improvements

Test Plan

• All existing tests pass with race detection
• golangci-lint reports 0 issues
• go fmt and go vet pass
• Battle tests cover edge cases for all lint rules
• Security scanner integration verified with tautology detection
• RETURNING clause tested with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
• Auto-fix functionality verified (L001, L003, L007, L010)

Manual Testing

# Lint command with new rules
echo 'select  id from users  where active = true' | gosqlx lint
# Output: 6 violations (L010 x2, L007 x4)

# Auto-fix
echo 'select  id from users  where active = true' | gosqlx lint --auto-fix
# Output: SELECT id FROM users WHERE active = TRUE

# Security scanner integration
echo "SELECT * FROM users WHERE '1'='1'" | gosqlx analyze
# Output: Detects tautology pattern

Code Review Complete

I've completed a comprehensive review of PR #164. This is an excellent contribution that adds significant value to the GoSQLX project. Here's my detailed analysis:

Summary Assessment

Overall Grade: A- - High-quality implementation with strong architectural decisions and comprehensive testing.

✅ Strengths

1. Excellent Architecture & Design

• Unified Issue System: The security scanner integration uses a well-designed unified AnalysisIssue format that maps cleanly between security findings and analyzer issues
• Modular Lint Rules: New rules are properly separated by category (keywords/, style/, whitespace/) with consistent interfaces
• Object Pooling Respect: All new code properly uses existing tokenizer and AST pools
• Clean Parser Extension: RETURNING clause support is implemented cleanly without disrupting existing DML parsing

2. Security Scanner Integration (cmd/gosqlx/cmd/sql_analyzer.go:530-562)

• Production Ready: Properly converts security.ScanResult findings to unified AnalysisIssue format
• Severity Mapping: Correct mapping between security severities and analysis severities
• Score Adjustment: Security scores are properly adjusted based on finding severity
• Error Handling: Robust error handling throughout the integration

3. Comprehensive Lint Rules Implementation

L007 - Keyword Case Rule (pkg/linter/rules/keywords/keyword_case.go)

• Smart Tokenization: Properly handles string literals and comments to avoid false positives
• Auto-fix Support: Clean implementation that preserves string content while fixing keywords
• Performance: Pre-compiled keyword maps for efficient lookup

L010 - Redundant Whitespace (pkg/linter/rules/whitespace/redundant_whitespace.go)

• String Awareness: Correctly skips whitespace inside string literals
• Indentation Preservation: Smart logic to preserve leading indentation while fixing redundant spaces
• Regex Optimization: Pre-compiled regex patterns for performance

Style Rules (L006, L008, L009)

• Column Alignment: Sophisticated detection of SELECT statement structure
• Comma Placement: Configurable trailing vs leading comma preferences
• Aliasing Consistency: Detects mixed table aliasing patterns

4. RETURNING Clause Support (pkg/sql/parser/dml.go:532-559)

• PostgreSQL Compliance: Proper implementation of PostgreSQL-style RETURNING clause
• Expression Support: Handles *, column names, qualified names, and expressions
• Consistent Integration: Added to INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements uniformly
• Token Registration: Proper TokenTypeReturning (379) addition to the type system

5. Battle Testing Excellence (pkg/linter/rules/battle_test.go)

• Real-World Scenarios: 652 lines of comprehensive tests covering edge cases
• Unicode Support: Tests international SQL queries
• Auto-fix Validation: Thorough testing of fix functionality
• Performance Edge Cases: Tests very deep nesting and complexity scenarios

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

1. Minor Code Quality Issues

Hard-coded Magic Numbers

// pkg/linter/rules/whitespace/indentation_depth.go:77
if depth > 9 {
    depthStr = fmt.Sprintf("%d", depth)  // Good fix for the garbage character bug
}

Consider extracting 9 as a named constant: const maxSingleDigitDepth = 9

Potential Performance Concern

// pkg/linter/rules/keywords/keyword_case.go:196
runes := []rune(line)  // Converting to runes for each line

This could be expensive for very large SQL files. Consider streaming approach for files >10MB.

2. Test Coverage Gaps

Missing Error Path Testing

The security scanner integration lacks tests for error conditions:

// Needs test coverage
func (a *SQLAnalyzer) convertSecurityFindings(result *security.ScanResult) {
    // What happens if result is nil?
    // What if finding.Severity is invalid?
}

RETURNING Clause Edge Cases

Missing tests for:

• RETURNING with complex expressions
• RETURNING with window functions
• Error handling when RETURNING parsing fails

3. Documentation Improvements

Missing Godoc Examples

// pkg/sql/parser/dml.go:534
// parseReturningColumns needs usage examples:
// Example: RETURNING id, name
// Example: RETURNING *
// Example: RETURNING user_id, CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name) AS full_name

4. Security Considerations

SQL Injection Detection Enhancement

Current implementation in analyzeBinaryExpression only checks for string literals:

if lit, ok := expr.Right.(*ast.LiteralValue); ok {
    if lit.Type == "STRING" {
        // Consider expanding to detect:
        // - Dynamic SQL construction patterns
        // - Unparameterized IN clauses
        // - LIKE patterns without proper escaping
    }
}

🔧 Recommended Actions

High Priority

1. Add error path testing for security scanner integration
2. Extract magic numbers to named constants
3. Add RETURNING clause edge case tests

Medium Priority
