Overview:

This PR adds new node types and adds functionality to existing ones to improve the constructed ASTs for test files, resolving most of the TODOs identified in PR #97.

Code Changes:

  • Added TypeNode for SQL type keywords (TEXT, DATE, NULL, etc.) — replaces FunctionNode("TEXT", _args=[LiteralNode("{}")])
  • Added ListNode for value lists (e.g. the RHS of IN expressions) — replaces raw Python lists
  • Added IntervalNode for INTERVAL expressions — replaces FunctionNode("INTERVAL", ...)
  • Added CaseNode for CASE WHEN ... THEN ... ELSE ... END — replaces nested FunctionNode("CASE"/"WHEN"/"THEN"/"ELSE")
  • Added _distinct and _distinct_on parameters to SelectNode for SELECT DISTINCT / DISTINCT ON
  • Added NodeType.TYPE, LIST, INTERVAL, CASE to enums
  • Updated expected ASTs in data/asts.py to use the new node types

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the internal AST representation to better model several SQL constructs (types/keywords, value lists, intervals, CASE expressions, and DISTINCT variants) and updates the expected AST fixtures accordingly.

Changes:

  • Introduces new AST node types: TypeNode, ListNode, IntervalNode, and CaseNode, plus new NodeType enum values.
  • Extends SelectNode to represent DISTINCT and DISTINCT ON.
  • Updates data/asts.py expected ASTs (and tweaks formatter tests) to use the new node types.

Keyword-argument spacing is inconsistent here (_distinct_on = ...). The surrounding codebase uses no spaces around '=' in keyword arguments (e.g., _alias="t" a few lines above). Adjust to match existing style for readability and consistency.

Suggested change
select_clause = SelectNode([t_gzpId, t_pubCode, t_playerId, coalesce_expr, s_segmentId], _distinct_on = ListNode([t_playerId]))
select_clause = SelectNode([t_gzpId, t_pubCode, t_playerId, coalesce_expr, s_segmentId], _distinct_on=ListNode([t_playerId]))

IntervalNode stores _value as an attribute but does not include it in children. Since much of the codebase (e.g., formatting/visualization/traversal) walks the AST via children, the interval value can be skipped entirely. Consider including the value node in children (e.g., [value, unit] when value is a Node) or otherwise ensuring traversal/formatting code accounts for it.

Suggested change
super().__init__(NodeType.INTERVAL, children=[_unit], **kwargs)
# Include the value in children when it is itself a Node, so that
# generic traversals/formatters that walk via `children` see it.
if isinstance(_value, Node):
children = [_value, _unit]
else:
children = [_unit]

SelectNode tracks _distinct_on but does not include it in children. Any generic AST traversal that relies on children will miss DISTINCT ON expressions, which can lead to incorrect rewrites/formatting/analysis. Consider representing DISTINCT ON as part of the node’s subtree (e.g., include it in children with a dedicated wrapper node/field-aware traversal) and update consumers accordingly.

Suggested change
super().__init__(NodeType.SELECT, children=_items, **kwargs)
# Include DISTINCT ON expressions in children so generic AST traversals see them.
children: List[Node] = list(_items) if _items is not None else []
if _distinct_on is not None:
children.append(_distinct_on)
super().__init__(NodeType.SELECT, children=children, **kwargs)

TypeNode’s docstring says it represents SQL type keywords (TEXT/DATE/INTEGER), but the allowed keyword set also includes interval units (SECOND, MINUTE, …) and NULL. Either widen the docstring (and possibly rename the class) to reflect that it models general SQL keywords/units, or split this into separate node types to avoid confusion for AST consumers.

Commenting out sql = formatter.format(get_ast(31)) removes the only runtime exercise of formatter support for CASE expressions in this test (even if the assert is disabled). It would be better to keep the format call active and update QueryFormatter/ast_to_json to handle the new CaseNode so formatter regressions are caught.

sql = formatter.format(get_ast(31))

Commenting out sql = formatter.format(get_ast(41)) means the formatter is no longer exercised for NULL/IS NULL handling in this test, so formatter crashes introduced by the new TypeNode won’t be caught. Prefer keeping the format call and making QueryFormatter handle TypeNode (and IS/NULL) even if the equality assertion stays disabled for now.

Commenting out sql = formatter.format(get_ast(43)) removes formatter coverage for INTERVAL handling. Since IntervalNode was added/used in expected ASTs, consider keeping this call active and extending QueryFormatter to support IntervalNode so failures surface during CI.

Suggested change
#sql = formatter.format(get_ast(43))
sql = formatter.format(get_ast(43))
