# AQL Improvements TODO
## Priority 1: Improve Query Response Quality
### 1.1 Enhanced AQL Validation
- [ ] Implement more comprehensive syntax validation
- [ ] Add validation for quotes, parentheses, and logical operators
- [ ] Improve detection of missing or incorrect operators
- [ ] Add validation for values with spaces
- [ ] Validate balanced parentheses in complex queries
### 1.2 Intelligent Query Formatting
- [ ] Enhance the `formatAqlForRequest` function to handle more complex cases
- [ ] Implement proper quoting for values with spaces
- [ ] Fix operator casing (AND, OR, LIKE, etc.)
- [ ] Ensure proper spacing around operators
- [ ] Add automatic fixing of common syntax errors
### 1.3 Contextual Error Messages
- [ ] Provide more specific error messages based on the type of error
- [ ] Include the exact location of syntax errors in the query
- [ ] Add suggestions for fixing common errors
- [ ] Improve error display in the response
## Priority 2: Schema-Aware Validation
### 2.1 Schema Context Integration
- [ ] Create a `SchemaContext` interface to represent schema metadata
- [ ] Implement schema caching to improve validation performance
- [ ] Validate object types against the actual schema
- [ ] Validate attributes against the schema
### 2.2 Attribute Validation
- [ ] Validate that attributes exist for the specified object type
- [ ] Check that attribute values match the expected type
- [ ] Suggest similar attribute names when a non-existent attribute is used
- [ ] Validate reference attributes and their dot notation
## Priority 3: Query Builder API
### 3.1 AQL Query Builder
- [ ] Create an `AqlQueryBuilder` class for programmatic query construction
- [ ] Implement methods for common query patterns
- [ ] Add support for complex conditions with AND/OR
- [ ] Include ordering and pagination support
### 3.2 Common Query Templates
- [ ] Create templates for frequently used queries
- [ ] Add schema-specific query examples
- [ ] Implement parameter substitution in templates
- [ ] Document common query patterns
## Priority 4: Performance Improvements
### 4.1 Caching
- [ ] Implement schema caching for validation
- [ ] Cache query results for repeated queries
- [ ] Add cache invalidation strategies
- [ ] Optimize cache size and performance
### 4.2 Query Optimization
- [ ] Analyze and optimize complex queries
- [ ] Add query execution statistics
- [ ] Implement query hints for better performance
- [ ] Optimize pagination for large result sets
## Priority 5: Documentation and Examples
### 5.1 AQL Documentation
- [ ] Update AQL syntax documentation
- [ ] Add more examples for common use cases
