Comprehensive analysis of AST changes between PG17 and PG18 based on libpg_query 17-latest to 18-latest-dev comparison. Key findings: - 5 new node types (ReturningExpr, ReturningOption, ReturningClause, ATAlterConstraint) - 1 removed node (SinglePartitionSpec) - Major breaking changes: RETURNING clause restructuring, RowCompareType -> CompareType - New features: temporal constraints, virtual generated columns, constraint enforceability - Migration effort: Medium-High (less than PG13->PG17, more than PG16->PG17)
