Why make this change?

  • To apply correct serialization and deserialization logic for stored procedures. With the previous changes, serialization was not working correctly for the StoredProcedureDefinition type, which extends SourceDefinition. When the value type was passed explicitly for serialization, the parent type was used instead, causing some child-type properties to be omitted.

What is this change?

Instead of manually specifying the value type during serialization, this change allows the library to infer the type automatically and perform the correct serialization.

How was this tested?

  • Unit Tests

Pull request overview

This pull request fixes a serialization issue where StoredProcedureDefinition objects (and other derived types of SourceDefinition) were being serialized as their base type, causing child-specific properties like Parameters to be omitted from the serialized output.

Key Changes:

  • Modified serialization to use runtime type inference instead of explicit property type
  • Updated property type checking to include derived types of SourceDefinition
  • Enhanced tests to validate serialization of dollar-prefixed column names in dictionary context

File Description
src/Core/Services/MetadataProviders/Converters/DatabaseObjectConverter.cs Updated Write method to use runtime type for serialization instead of declared property type; modified IsSourceDefinitionProperty to recognize derived types using IsAssignableFrom
src/Service.Tests/UnitTests/SerializationDeserializationTests.cs Refactored three test methods to serialize objects within Dictionary wrappers (matching real-world usage) and added assertions to verify dollar-prefixed columns are properly escaped
