DuckPGQ: Bringing SQL/PGQ to DuckDB

Summary: DuckPGQ integrates SQL:2023’s SQL/PGQ—graph pattern matching and shortest-path queries—into DuckDB as an extension. Demonstrates injecting new parsers, operators, optimizer rules, and graph structures into relational plans, unifying property-graph querying with standard SQL.
