Add Graphjin Database

Add GraphJin Database

Use this skill to add a database end to end without leaving half-public support behind. GraphJin is a compiler, not a resolver stack: push behavior into dialect, discovery, schema metadata, and tests.

Workflow

1. Ground in docs and repo truth.

   • Read the database's official SQL, DDL, type, catalog, and limitations docs before coding.
   • Inspect existing GraphJin seams: config validation, dialect factory, introspection, tests/dbint_test.go, hosted emulators, scripts, README, CONFIG, FEATURES, and website components.
   • Decide and state the public support level: experimental queries, mutations, subscriptions, full support, or simulator-only.

2. Build a simulator first when live service access is unavailable or slow.

   • Add tests/hostedemu/<db> and tests/<db>emu around hostedemu.NewConnector.
   • Add tests/<db>.sql using database-native DDL, types, constraints, and metadata features.
   • Keep parser/translator code owned by the target database. Reuse hosted emulator patterns, not another database's grammar, unless docs prove the syntax is identical.
   • Translate setup and discovery into DuckDB, but expose the database's real discovery surfaces.
   • Add parser, type mapping, metadata, discovery, wrapper, default-fixture, and large-catalog tests.

3. Use the simulator to build public support.

   • Register the DB type in core/config.go, the psql dialect factory, subscription dialect lookup, introspection switches, and schema-DDL/diff code if public DDL support is claimed.
   • Add a DB-owned dialect. Inherit behavior only after target-specific tests prove it.
   • Add discovery using the docs-recommended catalog path first, with fallbacks only where needed.
   • Wire tests/dbint_test.go, focused skip helpers for unsupported features, and scripts/test-<db>.sh.
   • Keep GraphJin's collision-free managed artifact SQLite database runtime-only. Its identifier is allocated at startup and must never become an application source, primary database candidate, catalog source, or security-report database.

4. Update public surfaces only after the runtime is wired.

   • Update README, CONFIG, FEATURES, website database logos/frontpage copy, website database matrix, and test-parallel scripts.
   • If the database uses graphjin serve new --db-url, update the URL parser and the rendered cmd/tmpl/prod.yml and cmd/tmpl/agentic.yml sources. Verify a real generated app loads without test-only placeholder replacement.
   • Make feature claims match tests. Use "experimental" and "query/discovery only" when writes, subscriptions, GIS, full-text, or migrations are not verified.
   • Preserve unrelated dirty worktree edits. Patch on top; never revert user changes.
   • Do not add artifact, watch, agent, stateful-MCP, or primitive-tool enablement to new dev.yml / agentic.yml examples; parsed mode defaults already provide them. Configure an artifact source only when documenting a shared clustered store.

5. Verify and leave evidence.

   • Run simulator tests, dialect/introspection tests, the new scripts/test-<db>.sh, and affected shared suites.
   • If shared compiler or introspection code changed, run existing dialect scripts likely to be affected.
   • Before finalizing, recheck docs/website claims against the support level that actually passed.
