Closes #65. Stacked on #64: merge that first; this PR then retargets to main.

Bug

CREATE FUNCTION f(a int) RETURNS int BEGIN ATOMIC SELECT a; END
-- pg_dump style formatted to
CREATE FUNCTION f(a int)
BEGIN ATOMIC SELECT a; END

pgdump_create_function() copied RETURNS as the text between the signature and the option list, and skipped it when there was no option list. A function with a SQL-standard body needs none, so the return type was dropped and PostgreSQL rejects the output. The span now ends at the option list or, failing that, the routine body. Procedures, which have no RETURNS, are unchanged.

Why the guard missed it

scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py cut each statement at the first line-ending ;. Inside BEGIN ATOMIC that is the end of the first body statement, so the corpus's three BEGIN ATOMIC examples (ddl.sgml, fuzzystrmatch.sgml, ref/create_procedure.sgml) were fragments that failed to parse and were skipped. The extractor now reads to the matching END; all three parse and pass the guard, and known_token_loss.txt stays empty.

With this, every statement in the PostgreSQL 19 documentation that fails to parse is either not standalone SQL (PL/pgSQL fragments, Oracle PL/SQL, ecpg, pgbench, psql) or an example the docs present as invalid.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed formatting of PostgreSQL functions with BEGIN ATOMIC bodies so their RETURNS clauses are preserved, including when no option list is present. This applies across formatting styles.
    • Improved handling of statement endings inside atomic bodies, preventing internal semicolons from being mistaken for the end of the enclosing statement and ensuring the full body is formatted correctly, including its closing END;.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The corpus extractor now tracks BEGIN ATOMIC state and CASE depth when processing semicolons. The pg_dump formatter preserves RETURNS when a function has a routine body and no option list. Corpus examples and a smoke test cover these changes.

Changes

BEGIN ATOMIC Routine Formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Atomic-body statement extraction
scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py, tests/fixtures/corpus/postgres_doc.sql
The extractor tracks BEGIN ATOMIC state and CASE depth to determine whether a semicolon ends the statement. Three corpus examples now include their closing END; statements.
Routine body and RETURNS handling
src/formatter/pgdump.rs, tests/smoke_test.rs
The pg_dump formatter ends the RETURNS span at the routine body when no option list exists. A smoke test checks that RETURNS remains in every formatting style.

And keeps each atomic statement in time.
CASE nests deep; END marks the way,
While RETURNS stays in place today.

    CREATE FUNCTION f(a int) RETURNS int BEGIN ATOMIC SELECT a; END
    ->  CREATE FUNCTION f(a int)
        BEGIN ATOMIC SELECT a; END

pgdump_create_function() copied RETURNS as the text between the signature
and the option list, and skipped it when there was no option list. A
function with a SQL-standard body needs none, so its return type was
dropped and PostgreSQL rejects the result. The span now ends at the
option list or, failing that, the routine body.

The documentation corpus had no complete BEGIN ATOMIC example to catch
this: the extractor cut a statement at the first line-ending `;`, which
inside BEGIN ATOMIC ends a body statement. It now reads to the matching
END, and the three examples it truncated (ddl, fuzzystrmatch,
create_procedure) are whole, parse, and pass the guard.

Closes #65.

Comment thread scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py Outdated
The extractor treated any `END;` at a line end as the close of a
BEGIN ATOMIC body, so a body statement ending in `CASE ... END;` cut
the CREATE FUNCTION before its real END. It now counts CASE and END
words in the body and closes it at the first END without a CASE.

No example in the PostgreSQL 19 docs hits this case: the regenerated
corpus is unchanged.

scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py:68-76
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Count CASE only outside quoted SQL.

At the outer END;, re.findall counts CASE inside a string literal. With no CASE expression, the counts tie, so inside_atomic remains true and first_statement does not stop at the function boundary. The caller can then skip the documentation block as having no terminator. If later SQL contains another unpaired END, it can instead emit one corpus record containing multiple SQL statements.

The CASE and END counts came from a regex over the raw text, so a
string such as 'case' in the body kept the body open past its real
END. The keywords are now tracked in the scan loop that already knows
the quote state, so text in quotes has no effect.

The regenerated PostgreSQL 19 corpus is unchanged.

Re the outside-diff finding "Count CASE only outside quoted SQL" (scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py:68-76): fixed in fe4d528. Reproduced with SELECT 'case'; in a BEGIN ATOMIC body, which kept the body open past its END. Instead of a second scanner, the BEGIN ATOMIC / CASE / END tracking now runs inside the existing scan loop, which already tracks quote state, so quoted text has no effect. The regenerated PostgreSQL 19 corpus is unchanged.

@gmr, I’ll regenerate the summary against fe4d528. The Merge Risk text should not say “Correct comment handling before merging” because both comment-handling findings were withdrawn.

Learning: In `scripts/extract_doc_corpus.py`, `first_statement` extracts examples from a fixed PostgreSQL documentation corpus that is regenerated once per major version and committed for review. It is not a general-purpose SQL lexer. For the REL_19_STABLE `BEGIN ATOMIC` programlistings checked for PR `#66`, none contains line or block comments in or around the body. Do not require comment-aware tokenization for this PR solely to handle hypothetical documentation examples.
✅ Action performed

Summary regeneration completed, but the summary was unchanged.
