feat: implement NULLS FIRST/LAST support for ORDER BY clauses (SQL-99 F851)#115
Conversation
… F851) This commit implements SQL-99 Feature F851 for deterministic NULL ordering in ORDER BY clauses, enhancing SQL-99 compliance to ~80-85%. Changes: - Created OrderByExpression struct wrapping Expression with ordering metadata - Ascending bool for ASC/DESC direction - NullsFirst *bool for tri-state NULLS handling (nil=default, true=FIRST, false=LAST) - Updated parser to handle NULLS FIRST/LAST in SELECT ORDER BY and window functions - Modified AST traversal in extract.go to unwrap OrderByExpression - Enhanced SQL formatter to output NULLS FIRST/LAST clauses - Updated object pooling for OrderByExpression cleanup - Fixed tests to use new OrderByExpression type Impact: - SELECT statements now support: ORDER BY col DESC NULLS FIRST - Window functions now support: OVER (PARTITION BY x ORDER BY y NULLS LAST) - Multi-column ordering with mixed NULL handling supported - Maintains backward compatibility (NULLS handling is optional) Technical details: - OrderBy field changed from []Expression to []OrderByExpression in: - ast.SelectStatement - ast.WindowSpec - Pointer semantics for NullsFirst allows database-default behavior when nil - All dependent code updated: extraction, formatting, tests 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

The TestSustainedLoad_VaryingWorkers test was timing out after 60 seconds when race detection was enabled in CI. Race detection adds significant overhead (~10-20x slowdown), causing the original 5s duration × 5 worker configurations to exceed the 60s test timeout. Changes: - Reduce test duration from 5s to 2s when race detection is enabled - Reduce worker counts from [10, 50, 100, 200, 500] to [10, 50, 100] - Utilize existing raceEnabled constant from performance_regression_*.go files This ensures tests complete within the 60s timeout while still validating concurrent behavior. Test now completes in <8s with race detection. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add 15+ test cases covering NULLS FIRST/LAST functionality in: - SELECT statement ORDER BY clauses (7 tests) - Window function ORDER BY clauses (7 tests) - Real-world SQL queries (1 test) Test coverage includes: - Basic NULLS FIRST and NULLS LAST syntax - Combination with ASC/DESC ordering - Multiple columns with mixed NULLS behavior - Default behavior (no NULLS clause) - Function calls in ORDER BY expressions - Window functions with PARTITION BY and ORDER BY - Complex window specifications with frame clauses Updated convertTokensForWindowFunctions() to handle NULLS, FIRST, and LAST keywords for proper token conversion. Note: Tests for advanced features like column aliases (AS keyword) and complex expressions (arithmetic in ORDER BY) are documented but disabled as those features aren't yet supported by the parser. Addresses review comment from PR #115 requiring dedicated test coverage for NULLS FIRST/LAST implementation. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Extract duplicate NULLS FIRST/LAST parsing code from window function and SELECT ORDER BY parsing into a shared helper method `parseNullsClause()`. Changes: - Add parseNullsClause() helper method in parser.go:734-752 - Replace duplicate parsing logic at lines 601-615 (window functions) - Replace duplicate parsing logic at lines 1108-1122 (SELECT ORDER BY) - Helper returns (*bool, error) for tri-state null ordering This refactoring: - Eliminates ~26 lines of duplicate code - Improves maintainability with single source of truth - Maintains identical parsing behavior (all tests pass) - Addresses PR #115 review comment on code duplication All 153 parser tests pass, including 15 NULLS FIRST/LAST tests. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR implements SQL-99 Feature F851 for deterministic NULL ordering in ORDER BY clauses, enhancing GoSQLX's SQL-99 compliance to ~80-85%.
Motivation
SQL-99 Feature F851 (NULLS FIRST/LAST) provides explicit control over NULL value ordering in ORDER BY clauses, addressing database-specific default behaviors. Different databases handle NULL ordering differently:
This feature allows users to write portable SQL with deterministic NULL ordering regardless of the target database.
