-Package postgres provides a CheckSyntax function wraps the parser for the
-PostgreSQL dialect of SQL, which will return an error if the query is not
-syntactically valid.
-
-This package includes a default implementation of CheckSyntax that does nothing,
-and a cgo implementation that uses the pg_query_go library to check the syntax
-of the query.
-
-This cgo implementation is only built when the CGO_ENABLED=1.
-By doing this, we keep pg_query_go as a cgo dependency, which is not required in
-the default build.
-
-pg_query_go is a cgo wrapper around the libpg_query C library, which is used in
-kwil-db to simply check the syntax of SQL queries we generated.
-
-TO run tests using pg_query_go, run `CGO_ENABLED=1 go test ./...`
