 # MemGQL Changelog
 
+## MemGQL v0.13.0 - unreleased
+
+### 🍃 New features & Improvements
+
+- **Multi-label vertex mappings.** A vertex may declare
+  `"labels": ["Cat", "Animal"]` instead of a single `label`. The first label
+  identifies the mapping; the others may be shared with other mappings. A
+  pattern on a shared label (`MATCH (a:Animal)`) reads every table that
+  carries it as one `UNION` inside the connector, resolving shared property
+  names through each table's own columns and returning `null` for a property
+  only some of them declare. Returned nodes carry all of their labels. See
+  [Vertices](/memgraph-zero/memgql/schema-file#vertices).
+- **Join edges within one connector.** `mappedJoinSource` now also links two
+  tables in the same relational connector — the case where a row carries the
+  target's *business key* rather than a foreign key into its `metaFields.id`,
+  which a table-backed edge cannot express. The traversal is pushed down as a
+  single `JOIN`, so aggregates across it work and no federated join is
+  involved. See
+  [Cross-connector edges](/memgraph-zero/memgql/schema-file#cross-connector-edges).
+
+### ⚠️ Behavior changes
+
+- **A label the mapping does not declare now matches nothing.**
+  `MATCH (p:Person:Vip)` on a `Person` table that does not carry `Vip` returns
+  no rows. Previously the second label was ignored and every `Person` came
+  back.
+
+### 🐞 Bug fixes
+
+- `SHOW STATS CONNECTORS` missed queries that routed by label to a single
+  connector; only federated and `USE`-qualified queries were counted.

+A table whose rows should carry **more than one label** lists them under
+`labels` instead of `label`. The first label identifies the mapping and must be
+unique in the graph; the others may be shared with other mappings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "labels": ["Cat", "Animal"],
+  "mappedTableSource": {
+    "connector": "pg",
+    "table": "cats",
+    "metaFields": { "id": "cat_id" }
+  },
+  "attributes": [
+    { "name": "id", "column": "cat_id" },
+    { "name": "name" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+With a second mapping `["Dog", "Animal"]` over a `dogs` table keyed by
+`dog_id`, `MATCH (a:Cat)` reads one table, `MATCH (a:Dog:Animal)` the other,
+and `MATCH (a:Animal)` both — as one `UNION` statement inside the connector.
+Shared property names resolve through each table's own columns, a property
+only one table declares is `null` on the other's rows, and returned nodes
+carry all of their labels (`(:Cat:Animal)`). Attributes that two carriers of a shared
+label both declare must have the same `type`. A traversal or an `INSERT` has to
+start from one table, so on a shared label both are refused with a pointer to
+the identifying label. A label no mapping carries together with the others
+matches nothing.

 | `mappedTableSource.schema`    | relational | Optional middle namespace (PostgreSQL schema, etc.). |
 | `mappedTableSource.database`  | relational | Optional outer namespace for backends with three-part names; on SQL Server it renders `database.schema.table`, so one connection can reach views in other databases. |

 **Rules and limits** (each is refused with a message saying what to write
 instead):
 
-- Both endpoints must live in different connectors — within one connector use

-- Each key must be a declared `attribute` of its endpoint vertex (native-graph
-  vertices are exempt, since the query passes through).
-- The edge must be traversed **in a direction**: `-[:R]->` or `<-[:R]-`, not
-  `-[:R]-`.

+- Each key must be a declared `attribute` of its endpoint vertex, backed by a
+  plain scalar column (native-graph vertices are exempt, since the query passes
+  through). The edge declares no `attributes`.
 - The edge carries no properties, so it cannot be filtered — filter the
   endpoints instead.
-- Every node in the pattern needs a label, so each side can be routed.
-- Aggregating *across* the join (for example `count()` over both sides) is not
-  supported yet; return the rows and count client-side.
+- Across connectors: the edge must be traversed **in a direction** (`-[:R]->`
+  or `<-[:R]-`, not `-[:R]-`); no variable-length traversal, no
+  `OPTIONAL MATCH`, one `MATCH` with one path pattern per query; every node in
+  the pattern needs a label, so each side can be routed; aggregating *across*
+  the join (`count()` over both sides) is not supported yet.
+- Within one relational connector the edge is pushed down as a single `JOIN`
+  on the two key columns, so those limits do not apply: aggregates work, and an
+  undirected step is accepted when the two endpoint labels differ. A
+  variable-length step over it is refused. Both endpoints on a Memgraph or
+  Neo4j connector are refused — that backend stores its own relationships, so
+  declare `mappedGraphSource`.
 
 A **table-backed** edge whose endpoints sit in different connectors is still
 skipped at load time with a warning pointing at `mappedJoinSource`.
