n/a — performance work without a tracking issue

Prerequisite: #30185. Follow-up: #30187.

Summary

Reduces whole-result-set SQL decoding latency by resolving row-shape metadata once and compiling compact per-shape task and result factories. The benchmark improves from 1236.1 µs to 809.2 µs without the PostgreSQL date fast path.

At a glance

const allTasks = Promise.all(tasks);
const settled = signal === undefined ? await allTasks : await raceAgainstAbort(allTasks, signal, 'decode');

The common no-signal path now avoids the generic abort race while preserving the signal-bearing path.

Decision

Precompute everything fixed by DecodeContext—codec, column metadata, include status, cardinality, and output shape—then keep per-row work limited to validation, codec dispatch, aggregate settlement, and result construction.

Reviewer notes

  • compileRowDecoder uses new Function, but generated source contains only JSON.stringify-escaped aliases and numeric field indices. Codec objects and helpers remain closure parameters.
  • Missing aliases are still validated before any codec runs, including the distinction between absent properties and own properties containing undefined.
  • Native Promise codecs take a direct rejection path; synchronous values, thenables, cross-realm values, and synchronous throws retain Promise normalization and wrapped errors.
  • There is no query-name, fixture-value, or Northwind-specific dispatch.

How it fits together

  1. buildDecodeContext produces an index-aligned field plan once per query shape.
  2. The compiled task factory creates a packed Promise array without per-cell map or set lookups.
  3. Scalar codec Promises attach structured failure handling directly; many-valued codecs retain sequential element semantics.
  4. The compiled result factory reconstructs the fixed output shape and decodes includes after aggregate settlement.

Behavior changes & evidence

Testing performed

  • pnpm --filter @internal/sql-runtime typecheck
  • pnpm --filter @internal/target-postgres test — 93 files, 1596 tests
  • pnpm --filter @internal/target-postgres typecheck
  • Rebuilt framework components, SQL relational core, PostgreSQL target, and SQL runtime before pnpm --filter benchmarks bench
  • Aggregate whole-result-set result: 1236.1 µs → 809.2 µs (-34.5%)

Skill update

n/a — internal runtime optimization with no public API or behavior change

Checklist

  • All commits are signed off (git commit -s) per the DCO.
  • I read CONTRIBUTING.md and the change is scoped to one logical concern.
  • Tests are updated.
  • The PR title is in TML-NNNN: <sentence-case title> form — no Linear ticket exists for this work.
  • The Skill update section above is filled in.

Notes for the reviewer

This PR is intentionally based on the benchmark PR so its metric and fixtures are reviewable in the same stack.

Alternatives considered

  • Combine validation with codec dispatch: rejected because it changes validation-before-side-effect ordering and benchmarked slower.
  • Mix raw values into Promise.all: rejected because uniform Promise-shaped task arrays benchmarked faster.
  • Reuse call-context objects across rows: rejected because it exposed identity and mutation risk without a reproducible gain.
  • Generate larger specialized validators and codec-kind dispatchers: rejected because larger generated methods consistently regressed V8 optimization.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved SQL result decoding efficiency, especially for rows with multiple fields and repeated prepared-statement executions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved explicitly returned undefined values without confusing them with missing columns.
    • Improved handling of mixed decoded and passthrough fields, including null values.
    • Ensured later fields continue processing when an earlier field fails.
    • Improved error reporting and validation for decoding failures.
    • Prevented projection aliases from being interpreted as executable content.
    • Improved column context information available during codec processing.
    • Added reliable fallback behavior when optimized decoding is unavailable.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SQL runtime now builds validated field plans and compiled row decoders. decodeRow uses compiled decoding when available and retains a fallback path. Prepared statements and benchmarks create reusable decode contexts. Tests cover asynchronous dispatch, passthrough values, alias safety, undefined values, and codec context propagation.

Changes

SQL row decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decode context and field plans
packages/2-sql/5-runtime/src/codecs/decoding.ts, packages/2-sql/5-runtime/test/codec-decode-ctx.test.ts
Decode contexts validate raw-query codecId values and retain per-field codec, column, include, reference, and many-value metadata. Codec calls receive the resolved column context.
Compiled and fallback row decoding
packages/2-sql/5-runtime/src/codecs/decoding.ts, packages/2-sql/5-runtime/src/sql-runtime.ts, test/bench/bench/decode-row.ts
compileRowDecoder creates decoders with escaped aliases. decodeRow uses compiled tasks when available and otherwise uses the field loop. Prepared statements and benchmarks mark contexts as reusable.
Row decoding behavior validation
packages/2-sql/5-runtime/test/codec-async.test.ts
Tests cover synchronous codec errors with continued dispatch, mixed decoding, null passthrough, decoder selection, unavailable Function constructors, malicious aliases, inherited aliases, and own undefined values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4d0c9

The runtime optimization is mergeable, but the benchmark allocation should be corrected because it currently omits two configured response types and may make the reported performance comparison less representative. This is a bounded follow-up, not a production correctness risk.

51-51: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the requested response count.

With the current REQUEST_MIX and MIX_RESPONSES = 200, independent rounding creates 198 responses. The suppliers and employees cases receive zero responses, so the benchmark no longer uses the configured mix.

Allocate from cumulative rounded targets or use a largest-remainder method so the workload contains exactly responseCount responses.

Proposed fix
   const mixTotal = Object.values(requestMix).reduce((sum, weight) => sum + weight, 0);
+  let cumulativeWeight = 0;
+  let allocatedResponses = 0;

   return Object.entries(requestMix).flatMap(([name, weight]) => {
     const entry = caseByName.get(name);
     if (!entry) {
       throw new Error(`Request mix names unknown query "${name}"`);
     }

-    const entryResponses = Math.round((weight / mixTotal) * responseCount);
+    cumulativeWeight += weight;
+    const targetResponses = Math.round((cumulativeWeight / mixTotal) * responseCount);
+    const entryResponses = targetResponses - allocatedResponses;
+    allocatedResponses = targetResponses;
     return Array.from({ length: entryResponses }, () => entry);
   });
