Postgres system columns not working

[werjo-gridfuse]

Version

1.27.0

What happened?

sqlc currently errors out with column "…" does not exist when referencing a PostgreSQL system column (tableoid, xmin, cmin, xmax, cmax or ctid) in an SQL query.

There was already a pull request that should fix this. And there are tests to make sure this is working. See here 1745

In this thread, there was a comment, that its not working with 1.25. Sadly its also not working with 1.27. And if you change the version to 1.23 in the playground, its also not working.

Relevant log output

query.sql:2:8: column "xmin" does not exist

Database schema

CREATE TABLE authors (
  id   BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  name text      NOT NULL,
  bio  text
);

SQL queries

SELECT xmin, cmin, xmax, cmax, ctid FROM authors;

Configuration

{
  "version": "2",
  "sql": [{
    "schema": "schema.sql",
    "queries": "query.sql",
    "engine": "postgresql",
    "gen": {
      "go": {
        "out": "db"
      }
    }
  }]
}

after spending some time looking into the problem, I tested it using sql.database.managed set to true, and it's working. turns out that the pg config Analyzer is doing the job of getting pg system columns, and with default config of sql.database.managed set to false, then the pg config Analyzer is not initialized since there is no db to look for system columns. the solution (maybe) is to set list of hardcoded system columns if pg config Analyzer is not set, what do you think?
