feat(dialect): add MariaDB + Snowflake to playground, fix WASM dialectMap, unify config validation

[ajitpratap0]

Summary

Closes #426 — MariaDB dialect: complete playground + config + docs integration
Closes #428 — Snowflake dialect: add to playground dropdown and fix config validation

The MariaDB parser implementation (30 commits, SEQUENCE DDL, temporal tables, CONNECT BY, PERIOD FOR) was complete on this branch. This PR adds the final integration layer: playground UI, WASM backend wiring, config validation consistency, and documentation updates.

---

What Changed

Playground UI (website/src/components/playground/Playground.tsx)

• Added { value: "mariadb", label: "MariaDB" } and { value: "snowflake", label: "Snowflake" } to the DIALECTS dropdown
• Playground now exposes all 8 named dialects + Generic (9 total)

WASM backend (wasm/main.go)

• Added "mariadb": sqlkeywords.DialectMariaDB to dialectMap — without this, selecting MariaDB silently fell back to generic parsing
• Added "clickhouse": sqlkeywords.DialectClickHouse — pre-existing silent fallback bug discovered and fixed; ClickHouse was in the UI dropdown but not wired in the backend

Config validation — both layers unified

• pkg/config/config.go: added "snowflake" to validDialects map and error message (it was accepted by --dialect flag but rejected in YAML config)
• cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/schema.go and config.go: added "mariadb" and "snowflake" to ValidDialects slice and inline validation — a fully separate config stack that was missed
• cmd/gosqlx/cmd/validate.go: updated --dialect flag help text to include snowflake
• Tests in both config packages updated to cover the new dialects

Documentation + LSP

• Updated doc comments in pkg/config/config.go, pkg/config/doc.go, pkg/config/lsp.go (runtime LSP string shown to IDEs), cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/doc.go, cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/config.go
• CLAUDE.md: add Snowflake + MariaDB to dialect list (was missing both)
• README.md: 7 → 8 dialects in stats bar, add MariaDB to all dialect lists and feature table
• docs/SQL_COMPATIBILITY.md: 6 → 8 Supported Dialects (ClickHouse and MariaDB were missing)
• website/src/lib/constants.ts: add MariaDB to website feature description
• Publishing drafts (hn-draft.md, gosqlx-marketing-launch.md, comparison-article-draft.md): updated to 8 dialects

Bugs Found and Fixed During Review

Bug	File	Impact
MariaDB selected → generic parsing	wasm/main.go	Silent misbehavior for all MariaDB queries in playground
ClickHouse selected → generic parsing	wasm/main.go	Pre-existing; ClickHouse in UI dropdown but not wired
snowflake rejected in YAML config	pkg/config/config.go	validation.dialect: snowflake in .gosqlx.yaml returned error
mariadb/snowflake rejected by internal config	cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/	CLI config.LoadDefault() rejected both via its own separate dialect list

---

Test Plan

• go test ./pkg/config/... ./pkg/sql/keywords/... ./cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/... -count=1 — PASS
• go test -race ./pkg/sql/keywords/... ./pkg/sql/parser/... -count=1 — PASS, no data races
• Playground dropdown shows: Generic, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, ClickHouse
• Selecting MariaDB and parsing CREATE SEQUENCE s START WITH 1 returns a MariaDB-specific AST (not generic)
• gosqlx validate --dialect snowflake "SELECT $1" — exits 0
• .gosqlx.yaml with validation.dialect: snowflake — accepted by config load
• gosqlx validate --list-dialects — includes mariadb and snowflake

Strengths:

• Consistent patterns: All dialect additions follow the same structure across UI, backend, and config layers
• Comprehensive coverage: Changes span playground UI, WASM backend, CLI config, and documentation
• Good separation of concerns: Each layer handles its specific responsibilities
• Proper testing: New dialects are covered in existing test suites

Implementation Quality:

• wasm/main.go:39-44: Proper mapping from string keys to dialect constants
• Config validation: Unified approach across both config packages with proper error handling

🐛 Bugs Found & Fixed

The PR identifies and fixes 4 critical bugs:

1. MariaDB silent fallback (wasm/main.go:39) - MariaDB selection fell back to generic parsing
2. ClickHouse silent fallback (wasm/main.go:40) - Pre-existing bug, ClickHouse in UI but not backend
3. Snowflake YAML rejection (pkg/config/config.go:219) - Snowflake rejected in .gosqlx.yaml config
4. Internal config rejection (cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/schema.go:27) - Separate CLI config validation missed new dialects

These were genuine functional issues that would have caused silent misbehavior in production.

🚀 Performance Considerations

No concerns - Changes are additive and don't affect runtime performance:

• Static array extensions (O(1) lookups)
• No new computational overhead
• WASM bundle size increase is negligible (2 additional map entries)

Code Review: MariaDB + Snowflake Dialect Integration

Review Summary

This PR successfully addresses the MariaDB and Snowflake dialect integration for both the playground UI and configuration validation. The implementation is clean, well-structured, and fixes several critical bugs that were silently causing incorrect behavior.

---

✅ Strengths

1. Critical Bug Fixes (wasm/main.go:39-44)

• Fixed silent fallback bugs: MariaDB and ClickHouse selections in playground were silently falling back to generic parsing
• Complete dialectMap: All 8 dialects now properly mapped in WASM backend
• Impact: Users selecting MariaDB/ClickHouse now get dialect-specific parsing instead of generic

2. Unified Config Validation

• Two-layer fix: Both pkg/config/config.go:215-226 and cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/schema.go:23-32 updated
• Consistency: Snowflake was accepted by CLI flags but rejected in YAML config - now unified
• Test coverage: Both config test suites updated with new dialect validation

3. Playground UI Enhancement (website/src/components/playground/Playground.tsx:25,29)

• Clean integration: MariaDB and Snowflake added to DIALECTS array
• User experience: All 8 supported dialects now accessible via dropdown
• Consistency: UI now matches backend capabilities

4. Documentation Updates

• Comprehensive: Updated CLAUDE.md, README.md, SQL_COMPATIBILITY.md
• Accurate counts: 7 → 8 dialects consistently updated across all docs
• LSP integration: Runtime description strings updated for IDE users

---

⚠️ Minor Issues & Suggestions

1. Inconsistent Default Dialects

// pkg/config/config.go:168 - defaults to "postgresql"
Dialect: "postgresql",

// cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/config.go:173 - defaults to ""
Dialect: "",

Recommendation: Consider standardizing default behavior. Empty string is more permissive but "postgresql" is more explicit.

2. Test Coverage Validation Needed

• Tests exist for both config packages (pkg/config/config_test.go, cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/schema_test.go)
• Both include new dialect validation tests
• Verification needed: Run go test ./pkg/config/... ./cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/... -v to confirm coverage

3. CLI Help Text Update (cmd/gosqlx/cmd/validate.go:51-52)

• Updated --dialect flag help to include snowflake
• Missing: MariaDB not explicitly mentioned in help text (though it's supported)

---

🔒 Security Assessment

• No security concerns identified
• Configuration validation properly sanitizes inputs
• File path expansion uses standard library functions safely
• No new attack vectors introduced

---

🚀 Performance Considerations

• Positive impact: Fixes silent fallbacks that could cause unexpected parsing behavior
• Zero overhead: Additions are lookup operations in existing maps/slices
• Memory efficient: No additional allocations in hot paths

---

📋 Test Plan Verification

Based on the PR description, the following should be tested:

# Test config validation
go test ./pkg/config/... ./cmd/gosqlx/internal/config/... -count=1

# Test race conditions
go test -race ./pkg/sql/keywords/... ./pkg/sql/parser/... -count=1

# Verify CLI dialect support
./gosqlx validate --dialect snowflake "SELECT $1"
./gosqlx validate --dialect mariadb "CREATE SEQUENCE s START WITH 1"

# Test YAML config acceptance
echo "validation:\n  dialect: snowflake" > .test-config.yaml
./gosqlx validate --config .test-config.yaml "SELECT 1"

---

🎯 Final Recommendations

Immediate Actions

1. ✅ Approve and merge - this is a solid implementation that fixes real bugs
2. 🧪 Verify tests pass - run the test commands mentioned above
3. 📝 Update CLI help text to mention MariaDB explicitly

Follow-up Considerations

1. Standardize default dialects across the two config systems
2. Add integration tests that verify playground → WASM → parser flow works correctly
3. Consider documentation about the difference between the two config systems

---

Overall Assessment: ✅ APPROVED

This PR successfully addresses the stated goals and fixes several important bugs. The code quality is high, the implementation is clean, and the changes are well-tested. The unified configuration validation was particularly important as it fixed inconsistent behavior between CLI and YAML configuration.

Impact: Users can now reliably use MariaDB and Snowflake dialects in both the playground and CLI tools, with proper validation and feedback.
