Summary

This adds a few focused database extension points and fixes gaps in custom-builder typing and PostgreSQL generated-column changes. The existing database, Eloquent, and migration APIs remain the entry points; drivers can customize the behavior they own without copying framework methods.

Changes

Shared schema metadata reads

Schema builders can override selectMetadata(string $query): array to apply their own metadata execution policy. The public inspection methods still compile through the grammar and process the same result shapes. The default continues to read from the write connection.

SQLite's table, view, and schema-state listing paths use the same hook. Internal scalar reads stay unchanged. Table-existence checks retain their empty-result behavior and still reject results with more than one column.

Creation validation through the related builder

Eloquent\Builder::ensureCanCreateOrFirst() gives custom builders one place to reject helpers whose unique-constraint recovery they cannot support. The default is a no-op.

Direct helpers and ordinary, polymorphic, through, and many-to-many relationship helpers call it before queries or value callbacks. Relationships use the related model's builder, including when the parent uses a different driver. Existing savepoint handling, collision recovery, and pivot behavior stay intact. Ordinary create, save, and firstOrNew are unchanged.

Custom builder types

The PHPStan forwarding extension now uses the query builder declared by getQuery() and the Eloquent builder declared by the related model. Custom clauses, callback model types, fluent chains, and terminal return values remain visible through model and relationship calls.

Native methods and named scopes keep precedence. Custom passthru lists are honored, and direct raw-query return types remain raw rows. This changes static analysis, not runtime dispatch.

PostgreSQL generated columns

change() can update generated expressions using native SET EXPRESSION AS. Removing an expression is ordered before setting or dropping a default, as PostgreSQL requires. Restating an expression no longer adds an invalid implicit DROP DEFAULT; explicit contradictory definitions still receive the database's error.

The existing storedAs(null) and virtualAs(null) arguments are reflected in their annotations. Documentation explains the PostgreSQL version requirements, stored-expression removal, and the upstream constraint-cleanup issue affecting some combined expression/type changes. The SQL stays native, without a workaround or additional metadata requests.

Driver-neutral migration records

Migration annotations no longer require an id column or assume every driver returns batch numbers as PHP integers. Driver-owned schemas may return numeric strings, while relational records with an identifier still satisfy the contract. Deletion and rollback require only the migration name. Returned values and query execution are unchanged.

Verification

Formatting, source analysis, type fixtures, the parallel framework suite, Testbench contracts, and standalone package tests pass locally. Coverage includes metadata-hook dispatch and writer routing, custom builder forwarding, relationship validation before side effects, migration record types, and generated-column SQL and native behavior.

The affected PostgreSQL regressions retain explicit, documented upstream-issue skips; working generated-column cases remain enabled. No test assertions were weakened to accommodate the changes.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added validation hooks for create-or-first operations across builders and relationships, allowing unsupported operations to fail before database queries run.
    • Added PostgreSQL support for modifying stored and virtual generated columns while preserving defaults and constraints.
    • Improved schema metadata inspection consistency across database drivers.
  • Improvements

    • Expanded migration compatibility for driver-specific schemas and numeric-string batch values.
    • Improved static analysis support for custom Eloquent builders, scopes, relationships, and forwarded methods.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for create-or-first validation, schema metadata hooks, custom builders, and generated-column migrations.

Allow custom Eloquent builders to validate uniqueness-dependent creation through one public ensureCanCreateOrFirst method. The default implementation imposes no restriction, preserving ordinary relational behavior and existing helper signatures.

Invoke validation before reads, writes, or value callbacks in direct helpers and the ordinary, through, and many-to-many relationship implementations. Resolve the policy from the related builder so relationships with parents on another driver honor it as well. Keep savepoint handling, collision recovery, pivot behavior, and normal create/save/firstOrNew paths unchanged.

Document the extension in the database guide and cover direct, polymorphic, through, and many-to-many helper dispatch. Let existing full-mock fixtures execute the default method without changing their assertions. Verified affected Eloquent unit tests, SQLite relationship and collision integration tests, formatting, and source and type-fixture analysis.
Resolve forwarded query methods from the Eloquent builder's declared getQuery return type, and resolve relationship methods from the related model's declared query builder. Bind generic query row signatures to the model while retaining other active template arguments and leaving direct raw-query types unchanged.

Preserve native method and named-scope precedence, honor passthru defaults on custom Eloquent builders, and distinguish discarded query results from terminal returns. Reuse the existing fluent reflection for receiving-object results and retain bound method reflections for terminals, without changing runtime dispatch.

Rename the forwarding extension to reflect its broader responsibility, document custom builder typing, and add max-level type fixtures and focused runtime tests for custom clauses, model subclasses, callbacks, scope collisions, passthru behavior, fixed query types, and relationship decoration.
Compile restated generated expressions using PostgreSQL SET EXPRESSION rather than rejecting all expression changes. Keep generated clauses ahead of ordinary column alterations so expression removal happens before SET or DROP DEFAULT. Omit the implicit default removal only when a generated expression is restated; explicit contradictory defaults still receive the native database error.

Allow null in the existing storedAs and virtualAs annotations and verify fluent base and custom column types. Add exact SQL coverage and native regression tests for expression recalculation, removal, type changes, retained values, new defaults, ordinary writes, and invalid conversions.

Document the PostgreSQL version requirements and the upstream combined expression/type constraint-cleanup defect. Keep native SQL unchanged and retain issue-linked regression skips for affected constraints, with working nullable and PostgreSQL 17 non-null cases enabled. Update the existing Blueprint snapshot to reflect the corrected clause ordering.
Route schema inspection through a protected selectMetadata method so driver-specific schema builders can apply execution policy without copying the public discovery methods. The default continues to read from the write connection and leaves grammar SQL, prefixes, result processing and fallback discovery unchanged.

Keep table-existence scalar validation, including empty results and rejection of multi-column responses. Include SQLite's table, view and schema-state list reads in the shared path while preserving its internal scalar and session reads.

Document the read extension beside schema execution and migration hooks. Cover inherited discovery, derived checks, both SQLite table-listing branches, schema-state reads and writer routing; update built-in existence fixtures for the raw-row boundary.
Integrate the latest framework updates while retaining the shared schema metadata hook, custom builder forwarding, relationship creation validation, and PostgreSQL generated-column improvements.

Correct the incoming migration annotations for driver-owned repository schemas. Read rows need migration names and integer or numeric-string batches, not an auto-incrementing identifier. Deletion and rollback consume only the migration name. Keep runtime queries and returned values unchanged, document the boundary, and cover both native and relational record shapes in the type fixtures.

Verified formatting, source and type analysis, the parallel framework suite, Testbench contracts, and the standalone package tests. The merge required no textual conflict resolution.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Dedicated driver capability interfaces
  • ➕ Makes metadata and creation-recovery capabilities explicit and independently injectable.
  • ➕ Could centralize capability discovery across custom drivers.
  • ➖ Introduces additional contracts and service wiring for two narrow policies.
  • ➖ Creates more migration work for existing drivers than protected or public hooks.
2. Override complete framework operations per driver
  • ➕ Allows unrestricted control over each driver's behavior.
  • ➕ Avoids adding new methods to shared builders.
  • ➖ Duplicates schema inspection and Eloquent recovery logic.
  • ➖ Increases drift risk when framework behavior changes.
  • ➖ Makes consistent relationship validation and result processing harder to preserve.

Recommendation: Keep the PR's focused extension points. Overridable hooks preserve existing entry points and shared behavior while allowing drivers to own execution policy; native PostgreSQL SQL and declared builder return types avoid metadata workarounds or duplicated dispatch logic.

Read the stored table definition through selectMetadata(), alongside the column rows used to reconstruct SQLite schema state. Custom metadata execution policies now apply to both inputs without changing SQL, query count, or default writer routing.

Share scalar extraction with table-existence checks through scalarMetadata(). Preserve first-row handling, null results, and the existing multiple-column exception, leaving session and capability reads on their own paths.

Cover stored-definition hook dispatch, object and array rows, absent and null definitions, and invalid multi-column results. Verified formatting, source and type analysis, the database suite, and native SQLite schema and rebuild coverage.
Document that create-or-first validation is a side-effect-free capability check and may run again when public helpers delegate to one another. Preserve the existing createOrFirst override dispatch and validation before reads, value callbacks, and writes.

Exercise value-callback rejection for every updateOrCreate path that accepts a closure, while retaining array inputs for through relationships. Clarify the metadata hook's coverage of SQLite stored definitions and distinguish custom builder runtime registration from HasBuilder static typing.

Verified the creation-helper regression suite, existing relational creation behavior, database tests, formatting, and source and type analysis.

The corrections are pushed in 917f739 and 9550535:

  • SQLite's columns and stored table definition now use the same metadata execution hook, with scalar-result behavior preserved.
  • Custom-builder documentation distinguishes runtime registration from static typing.
  • Creation-helper tests now check value callbacks on every supported updateOrCreate path.

The repeated capability check stays. Both public entry points need validation before work, and an internal bypass would skip subclass createOrFirst() overrides. The documentation now makes its side-effect-free contract explicit. No filler comments were added for the docstring coverage percentage.

Formatting, source and type analysis, the database suite, native SQLite schema tests, and focused custom-driver checks pass. Existing method signatures, return values, and creation-method dispatch are unchanged. Every inline finding has a reply.

    ...

@binaryfire The corrections land where the earlier findings pointed, and the reasoning holds up.

The repeated ensureCanCreateOrFirst() staying on both entry points is the right call. Since the helpers can delegate to each other, a single guard somewhere internal would let a subclass createOrFirst() override bypass validation entirely — exactly the trap you're avoiding. Keeping it on both public surfaces and documenting the side-effect-free, may-run-twice contract is consistent, and the docstring on Builder now says so.

The SQLite routing also looks coherent now: getColumnsForSchemaState reads both the column rows and the stored definition through selectMetadata(), and scalarMetadata() reuses the same scalar extraction as the table-existence path (first-row handling, null result, and the multi-column exception all preserved). The MariaDbBuilder fixture updated to return [['exists' => 1]] matches that contract, and the custom-driver value test gives the polygons actual generic types on the model, which is stronger than the Model supertype version.

Separation of runtime registration (#[UseEloquentBuilder]) from static typing (HasBuilder + @use) is the accurate framing, and updateOrCreate value-callback coverage across the through and many-to-many paths closes the gap the tests previously had.

No remaining issues from my side. The generated-column ordering and the migration-record annotation relaxation were already covered in the thread.

@binaryfire Verified the corrections in 917f739f8 and 95505357e.

  • SQLite column and stored-definition reads now use selectMetadata(). The tests preserve scalar-result validation.
  • The documentation separates runtime custom-builder registration from HasBuilder static typing.
  • The validation test covers updateOrCreate across all supported paths. It blocks value callbacks before validation where callbacks are accepted.
  • The repeated ensureCanCreateOrFirst() call is correct. Its documented side-effect-free contract preserves validation before work and does not bypass subclass createOrFirst() overrides.

Thanks for the clear verification details.

Learning: In `src/database/src/Eloquent/Builder.php`, `Builder::ensureCanCreateOrFirst()` is a side-effect-free capability check. `firstOrCreate()` and `createOrFirst()` may each invoke it during one operation because the public helpers delegate to each other. Do not require exactly-once invocation or add an internal path that bypasses subclass `createOrFirst()` overrides.
