Description of Changes

Op.is/Op.isNot (IS NULL/IS TRUE/IS FALSE) can't use a bind parameter for their right-hand side, so WhereSqlBuilder strips bindParam off the options before formatting that comparison. Since #17560, it did this with delete options.bindParam, mutating the shared options object that every attribute in the same WHERE clause is formatted with, instead of a local copy.

The practical effect: once a WHERE clause contains any IS NULL/IS TRUE/IS FALSE condition, every condition evaluated after it in that same clause permanently loses bind-parameter support too, and silently falls back to literal escaping. This is often harmless (e.g. id = 5 looks the same either way), but it breaks for values whose type can't be inferred from a bare literal — most notably a JSON ->> extraction (text) compared against a plain number, where Postgres has no text = integer operator and the query fails with SequelizeDatabaseError: operator does not exist: text = integer.

This restores the pre-#17560 behavior of copying the options object instead of mutating it (adjusted for exactOptionalPropertyTypes, using an omit-via-destructuring instead of setting the property to undefined), and adds a regression test asserting that a condition following an Op.is comparison still receives a bind parameter.

List of Breaking Changes

None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed an issue where conditions following IS or IS NOT comparisons could lose parameter binding within the same query.
    • Fixed Oracle comparisons against values extracted from JSON paths so scalar values are bound and interpreted correctly.
    • Improved handling of values compared with JSON path results across supported query dialects.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for update queries combining null checks with additional conditions.
    • Added Oracle-specific coverage for comparisons involving JSON path extractions.

…ions

Op.is/Op.isNot (used for IS NULL/IS TRUE/IS FALSE) can't use a bind parameter for its right-hand side, so WhereSqlBuilder strips bindParam before formatting it. Since sequelize#17560 it did this by deleting the property from the shared options object instead of a local copy, which permanently disabled bind parameters for every WHERE condition evaluated after an Op.is comparison in the same clause, not just that one. Those conditions fall back to literal escaping, which breaks for e.g. a JSON ->> (text) comparison against a plain number: Postgres has no text = integer operator.

This solves the same issue as #18244. On initial glance I like this approach more, but I wanted to mention it

Ah, whoops, I should have checked 🙈

@papandreou I was too early with the approval, can you look into the failing Oracle test?

Sure, will take a look! I misinterpreted your earlier "(and fixing the Oracle test so CI is green)" to mean that you were going to look at it. Implicit subjects are evil 😆

I was already expecting that, hence my message today. I could have been clearer on that initial message

…t a JSON path extraction

Oracle's JSON_VALUE (used to extract a value at a JSON path) returns a plain SQL scalar,
unlike dialects whose extraction function returns a re-encoded JSON value. The JSON
DataType's getBindParamSql always encoded bind values as JSON-document bytes (matching how
the column itself is stored as a BLOB), which is correct for comparisons against the raw
column but produces a type mismatch when comparing against a JSON_VALUE()-extracted scalar.

This went unnoticed because the Op.is bind-param bug fixed earlier in this PR always forced
this kind of condition to be inlined as a literal instead of bound - paranoid destroy() always
prepends a "deletedAt IS NULL" (Op.is) condition ahead of the user's WHERE, so any JSON path
condition following it never reached the buggy bind path until now.

Dug into the Oracle failure - it's not a regression in the WHERE builder change, but this fix does uncover a genuine, pre-existing bug in Oracle's JSON DataType bind encoding.

Root cause: paranoid destroy() always builds WHERE deletedAt IS NULL AND <user's condition>. Before this fix, processing deletedAt IS NULL (an Op.is) deleted bindParam from the shared options object, so any condition after it in the same WHERE clause got forced into literal-SQL mode instead of being bound - including JSON path conditions like data.field.deep = true. That accidentally produced correct SQL for Oracle (json_value("data", '$."field"."deep"') = 'true'), because Oracle's JSON_VALUE returns a plain scalar (VARCHAR2).

With the bug fixed, that condition is now correctly bound - but Oracle's JSON.getBindParamSql always encodes bind values as Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(value)), matching how the JSON column itself is stored as a BLOB. That's correct when comparing/writing the raw column, but wrong when the value is being compared against a JSON_VALUE()-extracted scalar: the bound Buffer (raw bytes of "true") can never match against the VARCHAR2 string JSON_VALUE returns, so the destroy matched 0 rows instead of 1.

Fix: added a comparedAgainstJsonPathExtraction flag to EscapeOptions, set by WhereSqlBuilder#formatBinaryOperation whenever the left operand is a JsonPath (i.e. we're comparing against a path extraction, not the raw column). Oracle's JSON.getBindParamSql now binds a plain string in that case instead of Buffer-encoding it - matching what the literal-mode toBindableValue already does. Whole-column JSON comparisons (no path) are unaffected and still get the BLOB encoding they need.

Verified by generating the actual SQL/bind output directly (no live Oracle DB needed) for the failing test's exact WHERE clause, before and after this fix, plus a new unit regression test gated to the oracle dialect. Full unit suite passes clean on oracle, sqlite3, postgres, and mysql.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the dialect-aware test helpers for this Oracle-only regression.

When a test is restricted to one dialect, prefix its description with Support.getTestDialectTeaser() and check dialect.supports.jsonOperations before the Oracle-specific condition. Keep the Oracle-name check because the scalar-return behavior is Oracle-specific.

Proposed adjustment
-  it('binds a scalar compared against a JSON path extraction as a plain value, not as a JSON document', () => {
+  it(`${Support.getTestDialectTeaser()} binds a scalar compared against a JSON path extraction as a plain value, not as a JSON document`, () => {
...
-    if (dialect.name !== 'oracle') {
+    if (!dialect.supports.jsonOperations || dialect.name !== 'oracle') {

As per coding guidelines, use Support.getTestDialectTeaser() for dialect-specific test descriptions and dialect.supports.featureName checks for unsupported behavior.

…ateQuery unit tests

The new oracle-only regression test's JsonUser model was defined in the shared beforeAll2
hook, which runs for every dialect. db2 and snowflake don't support the JSON data type at
all, so model definition itself threw and took down the whole test file (and the Windows CI
job, which runs the full unit suite) for those dialects. Only define it when the dialect
actually supports JSON.
