A SQL string with a string literal that ended with an escaped backslash was misinterpreted by the statement parser as an unclosed literal. E.g. the string 'test\\' would be seen as an invalid literal.

Summary of Changes

Hello @olavloite, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves a parsing bug where SQL string literals terminating with an escaped backslash were erroneously flagged as unclosed. The change modifies the statement parser to correctly interpret these sequences, ensuring robust handling of string literals in SQL queries. This improves the reliability of the SQL parser, preventing false-positive errors for valid SQL constructs.

Highlights

  • SQL String Parsing Fix: Corrected an issue in the skipQuoted function where SQL string literals ending with an escaped backslash (e.g., 'test\') were incorrectly identified as unclosed literals. The parser now correctly recognizes \\ as an escaped backslash, preventing misinterpretation.
  • Enhanced Test Coverage: Added new test cases to parser/statement_parser_test.go to validate the fix for escaped backslashes at the end of string literals, ensuring proper parsing across different SQL dialects and within various parsing contexts.

Code Review

This pull request correctly fixes a bug where a string literal ending with an escaped backslash was misinterpreted by the statement parser. The change in statement_parser.go to also check for an escaped backslash (\\) in addition to an escaped quote is correct and addresses the issue. The added tests are comprehensive, covering both GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL dialects. I've found a minor issue in one of the new tests, where it's not correctly testing the scenario with comments. Other than that, the changes look good.
