Support for SERIAL data type
Perhaps I need more clarification... Support how exactly - showing "SERIAL" in the database explorer or column headers, syntax highlighting, or problem checking?
SERIAL is essentially an INT column with auto-increment applied. In fact running a \d on a table with a column doesn't show SERIAL as a type even in postgres.
test_db=# create table test_serial (ID SERIAL);
CREATE TABLE
test_db=# \d
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+--------------------+----------+----------
public | test_serial | table | postgres
public | test_serial_id_seq | sequence | postgres
(2 rows)
test_db=# \d test_serial
Table "public.test_serial"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default nextval('test_serial_id_seq'::regclass)
If postgres doesn't report it as a SERIAL type, then I can't either.
Yea, sorry about missing more information. When I type basic create table and use SERIAL as a data type for example for "Id" column, SERIAL keyword is underlined and running query throws me an error. I am not at home at the moment, so I can't give you exact error message. It is like SERIAL is not recognized as a keyword, so I can't use it.
It is a syntax sugar that is there in the Postgres and I would like to use it.
Yea...
Running the query should still work. That errors is from EXPLAIN as that is what power the error checking for the underlines.
postgres=# \c test_db
You are now connected to database "test_db" as user "postgres".
test_db=# EXPLAIN CREATE TABLE test_serial (id SERIAL);
ERROR: syntax error at or near "SERIAL"
LINE 1: EXPLAIN CREATE TABLE test_serial (id SERIAL);

In order to really solve this I need to implement some sort of node language parser/validator that can handle multiple versions of a language.
