Summary

pgparser blanks the eight structural fields before its AST switch, then refills InsertColumnsListed from len(n.Columns) > 0. INSERT INTO t DEFAULT VALUES has no column list and needs none — it inserts no caller-supplied data, so there is no column order for a schema change to shift. The fallback handles this explicitly; the AST path discarded that and then set Exact = true over it.

INSERT INTO t DEFAULT VALUES
  fallback findings: []
  pgparser findings: [insert-without-columns]

Opting into the "exact" parser made this rule strictly worse than the zero-dependency default, inverting the trade-off parsers.md describes. The grammar encodes the form as an absent row source, so it is now read back the same way.

Rather than fix only the instance, both parser modules now run a corpus through the grammar and the fallback and assert the grammar never reports a rule the fallback does not (TestParser_NeverAddsFindingTheFallbackDoesNot).

That found the same shape three more times — grammar-only findings, because the fallback recognised only INSERT as inserting rows and the grammars recognise more:

Input fallback grammar
REPLACE INTO t VALUES (1) — insert-without-columns
REPLACE t VALUES (1) — insert-without-columns
INSERT t VALUES (1) — insert-without-columns
UPSERT INTO t VALUES (1) — insert-without-columns

Here the grammar is right — all bind by column order exactly as INSERT does and carry the same schema-change risk — so the fallback learns the statements rather than the parsers being silenced. INSERT t VALUES (1) was a pre-existing hole, not a regression.

Closes #68 (its primary acceptance criteria; see Notes for reviewers for the half left open).

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New detection rule
  • New integration / parser
  • Feature / enhancement
  • Docs only
  • Refactor / chore

Checklist

  • make ci passes (fmt-check, vet, lint, vuln, test-race, lint-docs) across all modules
  • Added/updated tests (and, where practical, a failure-mode check)
  • Updated docs under website/docs/ with a version marker for anything new (_0.5+_) — never website/versioned_docs/
  • Updated AGENTS.md / .sqlguard.example.yml if a convention or config key changed
  • Added an entry under ## [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md
  • No new third-party deps in analyzer / middleware / reporter
  • Findings stay redaction-safe (no raw literals leak into a Result)

GOWORK=off make test, make tidy-check and the Docusaurus build are green too. Every fix was verified by reverting it and watching the corresponding corpus rows fail, so the parity test is not vacuous.

Notes for reviewers

The REPLACE keyword vs. the REPLACE() function. Requiring INTO separates them but loses the forms MySQL allows without it. Anchoring the keyword at the start of the statement and requiring a table name after it separates them without that cost, and rejects a spaced REPLACE (a, b, c) too. insertColumnsListed still prefers INTO when present — it is the only anchor that survives a CTE prefix, where the keyword can appear inside the CTE body. A test pins that case.

StmtInsert reaches a second consumer. explain.validate now admits REPLACE/UPSERT under --allow-dml instead of refusing them as unrecognised. Still planned-only and rolled back; on a server where the keyword is invalid you get that server's syntax error in place of sqlguard's refusal. Documented in explain.md and the changelog — worth a second opinion on whether that is the behaviour you want.

Two parity rows are skipped under GOWORK=off. These are separate modules, so without go.work they build against the core their go.mod requires (v0.4.0), which predates the keyword support until the next lockstep tag. Skipping beats failing the documented consumer-build check; go.work builds — local dev and all of CI — always run them.

Left open deliberately: the broader half of #68, the reset-then-partially-refill shape that leaves non-DML AST nodes with Exact = true over blanked structural fields. It only produces false negatives today, so the parity test passes over it, and fixing it properly means deciding what Exact should claim when the fallback's heuristics survive — a design call, not a patch.

Behaviour change to flag in review: REPLACE INTO t VALUES (…) now produces a finding for every user, not just those who opted into mysqlparser. That is a new true positive, but it is new output on existing configs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected insert-without-columns detection for DEFAULT VALUES, REPLACE, UPSERT, and MySQL inserts that omit INTO. Statements with explicit columns, SET, or function calls to REPLACE are not incorrectly flagged.
  • New Features
    • sqlguard explain --allow-dml now accepts REPLACE and UPSERT as insert operations. Unsupported syntax is reported by the database server.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified which row-inserting statement forms are flagged and how REPLACE and UPSERT are handled by explain.

pgparser blanks the eight structural fields before the AST switch and
refills InsertColumnsListed from len(n.Columns) alone. DEFAULT VALUES
names no columns and needs none -- it inserts no caller-supplied data, so
there is no column order for a schema change to shift -- which the
zero-dependency fallback handles explicitly. The AST path discarded that
and then set Exact = true over it, so opting into the exact parser made
insert-without-columns strictly worse than the default, inverting the
trade-off parsers.md describes.

The grammar encodes the form as an absent row source, so read it back the
same way. tree's own Insert.DefaultValues dereferences Rows unguarded,
hence the local helper.

Pin the class of bug rather than the instance: both parser modules now run
a corpus through the dialect grammar and the fallback and assert the
grammar never reports a rule the fallback does not. Opting into a real
parser may only remove findings.

That test immediately found a second instance. vitess parses MySQL/SQLite
REPLACE into the same node as INSERT, so mysqlparser reported
insert-without-columns on "REPLACE INTO t VALUES (1)" while the fallback
read it as an unrecognized kind and said nothing. Here the grammar is the
correct one -- REPLACE binds positionally exactly as INSERT does and
carries the same risk -- so teach the fallback the statement instead of
silencing the parser. INTO is required in the pattern so REPLACE(str, a,
b) is never read as a statement; the INTO-less dialect form is one
insertColumnsListed already declines to flag.

Both fixes verified by reverting them and watching the parity test fail.

Note the REPLACE half needs core and mysqlparser released in lockstep:
under GOWORK=off that module builds against the core its go.mod requires
(v0.4.0), which predates the fallback change, so the REPLACE case fails
there until the release pins the pair. CI compiles satellites against this
tree via go.work and is unaffected.

The broader half of #68 -- the reset-then-partially-refill shape that
leaves non-DML AST nodes with Exact = true over blanked structural fields
-- is deliberately left open. It only produces false negatives today, so
the parity test passes over it, and fixing it properly means deciding what
Exact should claim when the fallback's heuristics survive.
Review of the previous commit found the parity test it added was passing
while the invariant it claimed to pin was false, in three more places.

The fallback recognized only INSERT and REPLACE INTO as inserting rows.
Both grammars recognize more, so each of these was a grammar-only finding
-- the exact shape the test exists to catch, missed because the corpus
did not contain it:

  REPLACE t VALUES (1)     MySQL makes INTO optional
  INSERT t VALUES (1)      likewise, and pre-existing
  UPSERT INTO t VALUES (1) accepted by the CockroachDB-derived grammar

INTO was required in the pattern to separate the statement from the
REPLACE(str, from, to) function. Anchoring the keyword at the start of
the statement separates them instead, and requiring a table name after it
rejects a spaced REPLACE (a, b, c) call too, so INTO can go back to being
optional. insertColumnsListed still prefers INTO when present: it is the
only anchor that survives a CTE prefix, where the keyword can appear
inside the CTE body. Falling back to the statement head only when INTO is
absent keeps the CTE case intact, which a test now pins.

Modifier runs (LOW_PRIORITY / DELAYED / HIGH_PRIORITY / IGNORE) sit
between the keyword and the table in MySQL and are matched in both.

Both corpora gained the shapes that motivated the test, and each fix was
verified by reverting it and watching the corresponding rows fail.

Also from review:

- StmtInsert now covers REPLACE and UPSERT, which reaches a second
  consumer: explain.validate admits them under --allow-dml rather than
  refusing them as unrecognized. Documented in explain.md and the
  changelog; still planned-only and rolled back.
- The rule message said "INSERT without explicit column list" for a
  statement the user did not write. Reworded to "Row-inserting
  statement".
- StmtInsert and InsertColumnsListed doc comments recorded the rationale
  only in unexported helpers; the exported docs are what a rule author
  reads, and InsertColumnsListed's "names its target columns" is exactly
  the reading that produced the DEFAULT VALUES bug.
- parsers.md stated "a dialect parser only ever removes findings" as an
  absolute. It is an invariant over a corpus, not a proof, and it was
  false when written. Reworded, and the version marker corrected from
  0.4 to "0.4 and earlier" -- 0.4 is released and does have the bug.

The parity rows that need the core's new keyword support are now skipped
when the linked core predates it, instead of failing GOWORK=off until the
next lockstep tag. go.work builds -- local dev and CI -- always run them.
The invariant the new parity test pins was only written down in the test
and in parsers.md. AGENTS.md is where the architectural invariants that
constrain a change live, and this one constrains a specific future
change: teaching a dialect parser a statement kind obliges teaching the
fallback the same kind, or the grammar starts reporting findings the
default never would. Records the pair to check (detectKind and
insertColumnsListed), why the INTO anchor is preferred over the
statement head, and why a corpus row can skip under GOWORK=off.

Walkthrough

The fallback analyzer now recognizes additional row-inserting statement forms, including REPLACE, UPSERT, and MySQL inserts without INTO. The PostgreSQL parser handles DEFAULT VALUES without an insert-without-columns finding. Corpus tests check that dialect parsers do not add findings absent from the fallback.

Fallback recognition and rule behavior
analyzer/fallback.go, analyzer/statement.go, analyzer/rules.go, analyzer/analyzer_test.go, website/docs/rules.md, website/docs/explain.md, CHANGELOG.md
The fallback parser recognizes REPLACE and UPSERT, accepts repeated MySQL insert modifiers, and uses the statement head to detect positional inserts when INTO is absent. Tests cover these forms and distinguish REPLACE statements from function calls. The finding message and documentation cover row-inserting statements more broadly.
PostgreSQL DEFAULT VALUES handling

Corpus tests compare dialect-parser findings with fallback findings and skip cases that require unsupported core keyword recognition. The documentation describes the parity invariant, examples, and test limitations.

Anchor INTO only before the target table.

For INSERT t (\into`) VALUES (1), the sanitizer preserves backtick identifiers. fbIntoRethen matches the column name, soreststarts after it and the fallback returnsfalseforInsertColumnsListed. CheckInsertWithoutColumnsreports a false finding. Limit theINTO` search to the token immediately after the statement head, and add this quoted-column regression case.

Use the feature release in inline markers, with the required prose form.

The 0.3 values in website/VERSIONING.md are examples. These changes are from 0.5, so keep 0.5.

The prose paragraphs in website/docs/rules.md and website/docs/parsers.md must use _Added in 0.5._ at the paragraph start. The markers in website/docs/explain.md already use the correct forms.

Suggested fix
-Every keyword that inserts rows this way is flagged, not just `INSERT` —
-MySQL/SQLite's `REPLACE`, the `UPSERT` CockroachDB accepts, and the forms
-that omit the optional `INTO` (`INSERT t VALUES (…)`) — _0.5+_.

Two more instances of the same shape, both reproduced before fixing.

A column named "into" defeated the rule. The target table was found by
scanning for INTO anywhere in the statement, so in a form that omits the
optional keyword the backticked identifier matched, the column list was
read as the target table, and a statement that does name its columns was
reported as having none:

  INSERT t (`into`) VALUES (1)   ->  insert-without-columns

The statement head is now tried first and INTO only for the CTE-prefixed
forms, where the keyword sits mid-statement and can also occur inside the
CTE body. Note the ordering is the whole fix: stripping a leading INTO
off the span as well changed no result, because that span holds no "(",
so it is left out rather than kept as an untested branch. This predates
the previous commit for INSERT and was widened to REPLACE by it.

A CTE prefix also put UPSERT past the leading-keyword check, leaving
"WITH c AS (...) UPSERT INTO t SELECT n FROM c" classified as a SELECT
while pgparser read it as an insert -- another grammar-only finding that
the corpus did not contain. detectKind now checks the insert-like
keywords after a WITH clause too, with the same table-name requirement
that keeps a REPLACE() call in a CTE body from being read as the
statement.

The GOWORK=off skip guard matched on a leading keyword, so it would not
have covered the CTE-prefixed row; it now matches the keyword anywhere.

Docs, from the same review:

- parsers.md attributed every past break to "both grammars". UPSERT is
  pgparser's, REPLACE and the INTO-less INSERT are mysqlparser's. Split
  per parser, and "twice" was already stale.
- Version markers followed neither form AGENTS.md sanctions: a prose
  paragraph takes a leading "_Added in X.Y._" / "_Changed in X.Y._", and
  "_0.5+_" is for a table cell. rules.md also gained the line on previous
  behaviour that a "Changed" marker requires. explain.md was already
  correct and is untouched.
- AGENTS.md described insertColumnsListed as preferring the INTO anchor,
  which is now backwards and was the bug; corrected, with why the order
  matters.
