Fix CodeQL alerts: Add missing XML documentation summaries

[jas88]

Summary

This PR addresses 8 CodeQL alerts for missing XML documentation summaries by adding explicit <summary> tags to methods that were using only <include> tags.

Changes

Added <summary> tags to the following files:

• FAnsi.Core/Discovery/IDiscoveredServerHelper.cs - GetCommand method
• FAnsi.Core/Discovery/DiscoveredServerHelper.cs - GetCommand, GetDataAdapter, GetCommandBuilder, GetParameter methods
• FAnsi.Core/Discovery/DiscoveredServer.cs - GetCommand method
• FAnsi.Core/Discovery/DiscoveredTable.cs - GetTopXSql method
• FAnsi.Core/Discovery/IDiscoveredTableHelper.cs - GetTopXSqlForTable method

CodeQL Alerts Analysis

Of the 40 open CodeQL alerts:

Addressed (8 alerts - HicServices#33-40)

• ✅ Missing XML documentation summaries - Fixed in this PR
  • These methods were using <include> tags but CodeQL requires explicit <summary> tags
  • Added brief summaries while preserving detailed <include> documentation

Not Addressed (32 alerts - #11-32)

• ❌ Generic catch clauses - Intentionally not fixed
  • These are legitimate uses of catch (Exception) for:
    • Wrapping exceptions with additional context
    • Error recovery in database operations
    • Fallback mechanisms during error investigation
  • All generic catches are at library boundaries where any database exception must be handled
  • Changing these would reduce error handling robustness

Testing

• ✅ Build succeeds with no errors
• ✅ All existing warnings remain unchanged
• ✅ Documentation now properly recognized by CodeQL

Impact

• Improves code documentation quality
• Resolves 20% (8/40) of CodeQL alerts
• No functional changes
• No breaking changes

To fix this genuine issue, replace the broad catch (Exception ex) clause with more specific catch clauses for exception types that are reasonably expected during value conversion and property setting. In this context, failures are likely due to type mismatches, format errors, or property issues. Specifically, replace the catch block with multiple catch blocks:

• Catch InvalidCastException, FormatException, and ArgumentException for conversion errors.
• Catch TargetException and TargetInvocationException for possible reflection/property setting issues.
  Each should rethrow as an InvalidOperationException with proper context.
  Changes are required to only the block inside the method shown, i.e., lines 229-234 in FAnsi.Core/Discovery/Queryable/FAnsiQueryProvider.cs.
  No new imports are needed, since all exception types are part of the base class library.

To fix the issue, refactor the foreach loop in the BuildWhereClause method to use LINQ's Select for mapping clause to condition. The resulting sequence of conditions can be collected into a list or used directly in the subsequent code. Specifically, replace:

foreach (var clause in components.WhereClauses)
{
    string condition = clause.Operator switch
    {
        // ...
    };
    conditions.Add(condition);
}

with:

var conditions = components.WhereClauses.Select(clause => /* mapping logic */).ToList();

The mapping logic involves the switch statement used to compute condition, passing paramIndex and parameters as before. Since the side effects (mutating paramIndex and adding to parameters) are still essential, they can be safely included within the lambda function in Select. No additional imports are required since System.Linq is already present.

Only the lines for the loop and the collection of conditions need adjustment, i.e., lines 123–143. Nothing else in the file requires changes.

To fix this problem, we should replace the foreach loop on lines 102–119 that builds the conditions list by explicitly mapping each clause to its corresponding condition and adding it to conditions. The idiomatic LINQ fix is to use .Select(...) to project each clause into its corresponding condition, then use .ToList() to construct the resulting list. All the logic inside the loop (the switch/call to condition-building methods, incrementing the paramIndex as necessary, and adding to paramList) remains in the lambda passed to Select. This results in construction of the mapped conditions list without a manual loop, making the transformation explicit and more readable.

What needs to change:

• Lines 99–119:
  • Remove the manual creation of an empty conditions list and the foreach loop.
  • Replace with initialization of conditions using LINQ's .Select(...) and .ToList().
• Use a lambda that matches the loop logic for mapping each clause.
• Ensure the scope of paramIndex and paramList remains correct and mutations are preserved.

No additional methods or imports are needed, because System.Linq is already imported.

To fix this issue, replace the foreach loop on line 90—which produces a new list by mapping each item but does not otherwise need the iteration variable—with a LINQ expression that explicitly maps the input sequence to the output using .Select(...). Specifically, the list conditions can be initialized directly with the results of Select. Because paramIndex and paramList are mutated as before (including byref for paramIndex), the refactoring will be functionally equivalent. Only lines 87, 90–107 of BuildWhereClause in FAnsi.Oracle/Queryable/OracleQueryBuilder.cs need to be changed. No additional imports are required since System.Linq is already present.

The loop at lines 95-100 iterates over components.WhereClauses, transforms each whereClause by calling TranslateWhereClause(whereClause, paramList), and then appends a line to the SQL string. The best fix is to use LINQ's Select method to perform this transformation up front, obtaining an enumerable of condition values, and then iterate over those for the appending operation. The edited block would replace the foreach (var whereClause in ...) { ... } lines with a foreach (var condition in ...) { ... } block, using .Select(...). No additional imports or methods are required since System.Linq is already imported.

Modify lines 95–100 in FAnsi.PostgreSql/Queryable/PostgreSqlQueryBuilder.cs as follows:

• Replace the loop variable from whereClause to condition.
• Replace the loop input from components.WhereClauses to components.WhereClauses.Select(whereClause => TranslateWhereClause(whereClause, paramList)).
• Remove the local variable assignment inside the loop, as each condition is already mapped.

To fix the problem, we should replace the foreach loop (lines 168–172) that translates each where-clause into a condition and appends it to the SQL, with LINQ's Select to create a sequence of translated conditions and then append them all at once. The most idiomatic and efficient way would be to use Select to produce the SQL fragments, and then either append each to sql inside another loop, or—since all are being appended as " AND {condition}"—combine them into a single string with line breaks and append once.

In this case, since the current code appends each with sql.AppendLine($" AND {condition}");, we can simply use string.Join(Environment.NewLine, ...) with the mapped collection, and append all at once to sql. You may use .AppendLine(...) or .Append(...) as appropriate.

No new imports are required because System.Linq is already imported.
Only lines 168–172 will be affected. All other context should be preserved.

To correct the "missed opportunity to use Select," refactor the foreach loop at line 221 into a LINQ-based projection using .Select() to build up a list of condition strings, and then process them for SQL clause insertion. Since side effects (calls to TranslateWhereClause) are preserved in order within .Select(), we can safely change the logic.

However, because the SQL-building logic inside the loop is more complex than just string concatenation (it needs to emit a WHERE for the first clause and AND for the rest), the most idiomatic pattern is to first create the collection of conditions, then emit one with WHERE and the rest with AND. This ensures the improved clarity and separation of transformation from emission, as per recommendation.

Edit only the code inside the affected method, replacing the current foreach block (lines 221–233) and appropriately adjusting the context.
