Hi there!
Is it possible in PHP to give a sql (select) query to Postgres via pg_*
so that it is NOT executed but merely checked for syntax including
correct, existing field and table names, and data types?
I'm working on a system where users may assemble their own query in a
construction kit, and want that to be checked, so that they don't e.g.
compare UUID "<" datetime or something like this.
If I try to execute the generated query, bad queries are instantly found
by pg_query.
But good ones are fully executed, which can take a long time depending
on joins and aggregations.
It seems that pg_prepare doesn't return errors on bad queries,
pg_last_error() is empty.
The asynchronous pg_send_query (and pg_cancel_query) seem not to return
any errors, either.
I tried with three queries:
"SELECT * FROM tableok"
"SELECT nonexistingfield FROM nonexistingtable"
"SELECT complete bad / sql query FROM nonsense"
Any ideas?
