auto-deferred for human review: LOC delta exceeds 250 lines (raw diff ~358 lines; touching 8 source files generates unavoidable header/context overhead beyond just the changed code). All CI checks passed. Feature is complete and correct -- diff just spans too many files for the self-merge gate. Generated by Claude Code |
Adds parse, AST, plan lowering, sema checks, cost estimate,
projection pruning, and optimizer support for the openCypher
DELETE and DETACH DELETE clauses.
- Grammar: kw_delete, kw_detach keywords with word-boundary checks;
delete_clause rule (kw_detach? kw_delete delete_items); both
keywords added to reserved_kw so they cannot be used as identifiers.
- AST: Clause::Delete { detach: bool, exprs: Vec<Expr> }.
- Parser: walk_delete; Rule::delete_clause arm; kw_delete/kw_detach
added to is_kw.
- Plan: Plan::Delete { input, detach, exprs }; lowering arm in plan();
Display arm in write_plan.
- Sema: check_clause arm checks each delete expression for unbound
variables.
- Cost: Delete passes cardinality through; cost += cardinality (one
deletion per row).
- Prune: walk_output and required_input_columns arms; delete exprs
contribute to the variable demand set.
- Optimize: descend and walk_bound arms let the optimizer recurse into
the Delete input; filters do not push through Delete itself.
- Tests: 10 new integration tests in tests/delete.rs covering parse,
case insensitivity, reserved keywords, sema, plan shape, and
optimizer behavior.
…argets P1: Before this commit, pending ORDER BY/SKIP/LIMIT modifiers accumulated from a WITH clause were stacked on top of the Delete operator at the end of the planner loop, producing Limit(Delete(...)) instead of Delete(Limit(...)). The fix flushes sort/skip/limit onto the current plan before constructing Plan::Delete, giving the correct Delete(Limit(...)) shape. P2: DELETE previously accepted any expression as a delete target because check_clause only called check_expr (binding check). Executors that trust semantic validation would then receive nonsensical targets like literals or property accesses. The fix adds a non-variable-delete-target error when a delete expression is not Expr::Variable. Four new tests cover both behaviors.

Why
openCypher requires DELETE and DETACH DELETE to mark nodes and relationships for removal. Both are listed as pending in GOALS.md ("CREATE / MERGE / SET / DELETE / UNWIND (pending)") and appear in the algebra table in the README. This PR wires the full pipeline: grammar to plan, with sema checks, cost estimation, projection pruning, and optimizer support.
