Fixes #18289

Pull Request Checklist

Description of Changes

db2's createTableQuery treated column comments as SQL line comments:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "myTable" ("name" VARCHAR(255)); -- 'Te''st', TableName = "myTable", ColumnName = "name";

Everything after -- is discarded, so SYSCAT.COLUMNS.REMARKS never gets the text. Model.sync() uses the same path.

This emits real COMMENT ON COLUMN statements instead, matching postgres, and prepares them one at a time. node-ibm_db prepare() only executes the first statement in a string (ibmdb/node-ibm_db#319), so concatenating them onto CREATE TABLE would still drop the comments.

Test

createTableQuery unit expectations now pin COMMENT ON COLUMN for every comment case. Against the built generator:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "myTable" ("myColumn" DATE); COMMENT ON COLUMN "myTable"."myColumn" IS 'Foo';

splitFollowUpCommentStatements splits that into two statements (CREATE TABLE ...; then COMMENT ON COLUMN ...;). Local mocha DIALECT=db2 could not be run here because the ibmi dialect's odbc native binding failed to load (libodbc.2.dylib missing); CI's db2 unit job is the one that exercises these files.

List of Breaking Changes

None. Comments that previously did nothing now persist.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • DB2 table creation now correctly applies column comments as executable database comments.
    • Multiple column comments, comments on referenced or schema-qualified columns, and comments alongside primary keys are preserved.
    • Follow-up comment statements are processed reliably, including SQL containing semicolons or escaped quotes, ensuring metadata is not discarded.

createTableQuery appended comments as SQL -- line comments, which db2
discards. Emit COMMENT ON COLUMN instead and prepare each statement
separately, because node-ibm_db only executes the first one.

71-85: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the greedy COMMENT parser.

At packages/db2/src/query-generator.js:71-85, the parser uses the last COMMENT token as the delimiter. This leaves COMMENT Foo in the table definition for DATE COMMENT Foo COMMENT Bar and consumes PRIMARY KEY for DATE COMMENT Foo PRIMARY KEY. Extract the comment without dropping SQL clauses, then update the DB2 expectations at packages/core/test/unit/query-generator/create-table-query.test.ts:294 and :314 to preserve Foo COMMENT Bar and PRIMARY KEY ("myColumn"). Apply the same correction to the identical parser in packages/mssql/src/query-generator.js:55-60.

eslint jsdoc/require-param failed CI after the helper was added; document the sql argument and return type.

CI failed on jsdoc/require-param for splitFollowUpCommentStatements (packages/db2/src/query.js:18). Pushed c93402c with @param {string} sql and @returns {string[]}.

Local evidence:

yarn eslint packages/db2/src/query.js --quiet --report-unused-disable-directives
# exit 0

yarn prettier --check packages/db2/src/query.js
# All matched files use Prettier code style!

No production logic change; the helper and createTableQuery tests are unchanged.

Exporting splitFollowUpCommentStatements from query.js made CJS expose a
name that index.mjs does not re-export, so the ESM/CJS equivalence check
failed. The helper is internal to Query._run.

Pushed 4d4740a: splitFollowUpCommentStatements is no longer a named export. Exporting it from query.js made CJS expose a key that index.mjs does not re-export, which failed yarn test-unit-esm (ESM / CJS export equivalence) on Node 20/22/24. The helper is only used inside Query._run.

Implement the new helper in TypeScript.

This change adds splitFollowUpCommentStatements to packages/db2/src/query.js. The repository rule requires new implementations in TypeScript. Move the implementation to the corresponding TypeScript source or convert the changed source before merge.

A comment value containing '; COMMENT ON COLUMN' was treated as a
statement delimiter. Scan quotes (including escaped '') so only real
follow-up statements are prepared separately.
